Actually, I think I found the problem. I tried to do an apt-get remove --purge slimserver, and it failed, reporting that there was an error stopping the mysql service. So I dug into mysql, and discovered that the /var/log/mysql directory permissions were set to read-only somehow. I re-enabled write access, purged slimserver and mysql, and apt-get installed slimserver again.
So far, everything is working ok. I imagine what was happening was that the slimserver_safe daemon was constantly trying to restart the slimserver process, which was failing because mysql wasn't running. Still can't explain how the permissions on the mysql log file got changed like that though. I've read in this forum that a couple of other people have experienced permission-related problems. Is this something that slimserver modifies occasionally? If so, in what manner? -A -- Ambrotos ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ambrotos's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12884 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37805 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
