Having followed this thread, I thought I would try to get MySQL working on my FreeBSD box. As far as I can tell, everything is OK with the MySQL database, and the creation of the Slimserver schema worked.
But when I try to switch Slimserver over to the MySQL database, it dies on startup. Are there any debugging flags I can set which will generate a log of what it's doing when trying to connect to the database? And can anyone tell me precisely which user Slimserver runs as? There's a user named "slimserv" which has been created, and most of the config files belong to that user. But when I take a look at the processes running, slimserver appears to be running as root. And yet when I inadvertantly changed the owner of slimserver.conf to root, there was a message that it couldn't be written to on Slimserver startup, which suggests to me that it does not run as root. Does it start up running as slimserv, then replace itself with another program that has a root suid attribute? -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20397 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
