I just did a test build last night on vmware (there are blank machines you can download from the internet as well as blank virtual drives).
Here's what I did: SlimNAS 1.1.3 FreeNAS 0.69RC2 (i386) SqueezeCenter 7.3.1 Installed FreeNAS on virtual machine. I created a 2gb "OS" drive and installed FreeNAS to that using the "full" install because I planned on adding SlimNAS to it and I've had the best luck with running off a hard disk. The 2gb drive was broken into 1gb for OS install and 1gb for remainder data (I'll get into this more later). I setup two virtual IDE drives 20gb each and made a raid 1 drive out of them. I created 4 512mb SCSI drives and created a 1.5gb Raid5 array (wanted to test this while I was at it). Finally mounted the drives as follows: 1gb remainder - mounted as "/mnt/osd" short for os drive (SlimNAS is installed here) 20gb raid1 array - mounted as "/mnt/raid1" (I know, I'm not original). 1.5gb raid5 array - you guessed it, mounted as "/mnt/raid5" Next I created the appropriate shares so I could copy stuff to the machine. I created a media folder on the 20gb share then a SlimNAS folder on the 1gb osd share. I ran the install per the instructions. 1. Run a command from the FreeNAS web gui to run "/bin/sh /mnt/osd/slimnas/slimnas-install.sh" a. you have to wait a little while here for things to finish. I went and had a sandwich. 2. When you refresh the web gui there will be a new "extensions" tab across the top (for those of you that haven't seen it yet 0.69rc2 has a new web gui). 3. Go to extensions and squeezecenter 4. This is the important part here that you have to pay attention to that nobody seams to do so. 5. Click on SqueezeCenter 7.3.1 in the list for install and pick Save a. This will install squeezecenter. This took about 5 minutes for things to settle down after it was done. b. You can go have another sandwich at this time because you don't want to rush it. 6. Once you have given it plenty of time to install, you will want to start the service. 7. Click on "enable" and keep existing install. 8. This will take another 5 minutes to run and finish starting up. 9. You should wait here, just be patient. 10. Go to the ip address of your server:9000 and you'll have the nice squeezecenter startup page greeting you. 11. Log into your squeeze account if you want and then scan for music. -- ik632 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ik632's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13780 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49304 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
