PCBSD looks interesting.  Let us know how this works out!

[slim] Problem starting slimserver with slimserver.sh on FreeBSD

2005-10-02 Thread Doug Carter
Using FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE, Slimserver 6.1.1 from the ports collection.

Up to this point I've been starting slimserver from the command line
directly (/usr/local/slimserver.pl -daemon) and it runs fine.

I decided to use the /usr/local/etc/rc.d startup script to automate
things and it doesn't work.

When I issue (as root) '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/slimserver.sh start', I get
a "starting slimserver" response and then see the Perl app in the Top
command... seems normal.  Problem is that when I try to access the
slimserver web page the app dies.

I use FreeBSD (http://freebsd.org).  Unix, not Linux but runs very well
on small machines.  My Slimserver is running on my mail/web/webDAV
server which is a 500Mhz box.  A friend of mine is running Slimserver on
FreeBSD on a 100MHz 64Mb box with no issues.

I don't bother with GUI's on these things though... they consume more
ram than the Slimserver app :)

Its a good idea to set up WEP security on your access point (and SB2) so
that you don't wind up providing your neighbors Internet access :)
