There is no wiki - just anecdotal postings. My preferred way to upgrade is as follows: 1. Note installed plugins and settings. 2. Uninstall Slimserver 3. Delete the Slimserver directory 4. Run the new Slimseverer installation. 5. Scan and build new database. 6. Re-install plugins and re-enter settings. There are some items which can be saved as external files such as playlist and radio station lists. These can be reloaded when new version is up and running.

[slim] Standard Skin broken?!
Something strange happened to me just now.. doesn't really speak for the
stability of the server.
I startet playing an Internet Radio station (via entering an URL
through the web interface). Then I saved it as a favorite on the
squeezebox. Since it didnt set the title correctly, but instead used
the ugly url (sometimes it does use the nice title as the title,
sometimes the (ugly) url, but thats another issue which should really
be fixed - why cant favorites be renamed through the web interface?
editing a file for this is ugly), I deleted the favorite again through
the web interface.
And what happened? All of a sudden the standard skin was broken. I only
get code instead of an HTML-page, e.g.
body, table, input, select, textarea, select, p, li {
color: #333;
font-size: 10px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
/* Hack for IE to prevent horizontal scrollbars with frames */
* html {
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.exlisting, p, ol, ul, dl, dd, td, .stdclick, .stdedit, .exboldlisting,
th, h5 {
color: #666;
}
.faq p, h5 {
font-size: 11px;
}
.viewSelect
{
float: right;
padding-right: 8px;
padding-top: 6px;
}
etc.
Multiple Reloads didnt help - the skin is broken. Now how in the world
can this happen? For me thats a major bug.
But what interests me even more: How can I fix this again without
reinstalling the whole thing ans losing all my settings??
I dont want to have to set everything again, because it takes forever.
Oh.. fortunately the other skins still work, but would still like the
standard skin back.
Thanks for anybody who can help!

[slim] Slim Server Service Names
I have Slim Server 6.5.1 installed on my laptop, I know it's weird, but I like SlimServer and SoftSqueeze. As It's my laptop I don't like spurious stuff starting unless it's required. I have two services SlimServer and SlimServerMySQL. I set both of these services to manual to ensure that they do not run automatically. When I use the icon to start Slimserver, it starts the MySQL service but not the SlimServer service. Everything seems to be working. Am I missing something?

Yeah, the Windows SlimServer/SlimTray installation is royally screwed up in 6.5.1 and guaranteed to cause confusion exactly like this.

[slim] Problems Organizing Music Library - Suggestions Most Welcome
Howdy. I've spent a good part of the weekend trying to get Slim Server to work properly and I'm starting to give up hope. Here's my problem: No matter how I try the sort or organize my music library it is not correct. I tried to fix the situation by re-tagging all my music in the same fashion (using the Godfather). This didn't work. I next decided to try it without Itunes but after rescanning I'm still have same problems. It's really frustrating. The music is properly organized in Itunes but the Slim Server interface just doesn't work. I'm ready to ebay the sb3. GRRR. If anyone can help out I'd appreciate it.

Re: [slim] Problems Organizing Music Library - Suggestions Most Welcome
I suppose I could have been more specific :). By not correct I mean: I have duplicate albums (which should be fixed because I updated the tags); when viewing Artist/Album but the reverse shows up in Slim Server, or viewing everything just by Album, I get 5 entries for the same album. Perhaps it's a couple of stray tags that are causing this but if you can think of other reasons why duplicate entries are happening I'd be much obliged. I'm also wondering if there's a third-party plug-in or something that's a bit more intuitive in terms of managing your music library. Any suggestions would be sweet.

I've just set up a new SlimServer on a Linux (ubuntu) box and everything seems to be working except... I don't get the skin loaded when browsing to http://host:9000. It just prints the page text, not bothering about any layout (CSS). There is no change when I try and set a default skin. But, when explicitly going to http://host:9000/default, or any other skin, it works and displays nicely. I've tried both firefox and IE, forced reload of webpage.
