Brooks, First, I want to say thanks for maintaining the freebsd port. I installed 6.3.1 without a hitch. I am having problems with my upgrade to 6.5. I deinstalled 6.3.1 (/usr/ports/audio/slimserver make deinstall). I deinstalled mysql (same, make deinstall). I have wiped the /usr/local/slimserver and /var/db/slimserver directories. I ran portupgrade -r perl. Next I make install clean slimserver. I get the following error:
compslim# /usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl 061011 5:17:31 [ERROR] Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root! 061011 5:17:31 [ERROR] Aborting 061011 5:17:31 [Note] /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete 2006-10-11 05:18:01.1972 ERROR: MySQLHelper: createSystemTables() Couldn't connect to database: [Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/db/slimserver/cache/slimserver-mysql.sock' (2)] Any suggestions on what I need to do here? Thanks again for maintaining this port! T.

Like the RPM, it has a startup script. The script runs the server as user/group slimuser for security reasons. The config file is configured to be in /var/db/slimserver/slimserver.conf (IMO, it machine generated and thus doesn't belong in /etc). I've also configured the installation process to not install copies of perl modules that exist as ports as per the ports collection policy. Similarly I'm using a port of mDNSResponder instead of the builtin binary. The upside of this is that SlimServer should work on all FreeBSD platforms since it doesn't depend on having binaries in the correct format. I also apply a couple of patches so the tag cache ends up in /var/db/slimserver/slimserver.db. It would be nice if you could do this from the command line instead of via patches. SlimServer packages should be available for the next FreeBSD release. I'm quite impressed with what I've seen so far and plan to purchase a Squeezebox when I return from my upcoming vacation. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
