Re: [slim] SlimServer and VISTA
I have Vista Business edition, SlimServer 6.5.2 installed.
When trying to start the service, it hangs in a starting state.
Checked the firewall settings, it seems the correct ports are allowed
for slim.exe.
When looking at the system event log, I can see the following:

It scans my music database fine, when in STATUS, just gives me the message - Your player was not found.

Try disabling your firewall entirely. If that fixes your problem, that will then narrow this down to a firewall issue.

Long time user, first time poster here ... I jumped on the Vista bandwagon last Friday. Sadly, like many of you, I'm having the same issues. Fortunately, some great stuff has been posted on getting the slimserver services to run, etc. I've also tried many other options in hoping I'd get a bit further. Some items I've tried: - Defined the URL as a trusted site under the security settings. - Opened up port 9000 on the windows Vista firewall. Nothing seems to work. Also, I find it kind of hard to believe that a company such as SlimDevices, who is owned by Logitech doesn't have a Vista-equipped PC.

It defeats thousands of man-years of development by Microsoft.

Re: [slim] SlimServer and VISTA
Completely agree with you Pat and that's why I did put a warning in my previous posts about disabling the UAC. I'd recommend that those users uncomfortable with disabling it should following bergek's suggestion of starting the service manually. I do, however, think we've now worked out why SS won't work (without assistance) under Vista. I'd also note that SS isn't the only program that I've had to disable the UAC for to get it to run or even install under Vista. Unfortunately, I beleive there are now 1000s of Vista users who have had no choice but to disable the UAC until they get Vista compliant updates of various bits of software. -- mertles mertles's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SlimServer and VISTA
I installed Windows VISTA (clean) last evening and this morning downloaded and installed the latest build of 6.5.2 thinking that it would probably be a better match for the newly released OS. However, SlimServer does not start and I am getting the following error: Localhost is not set up to establish a conneciton on port 9000 with this computer. -- fingers fingers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5570 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SlimServer and VISTA
Localhost is not set up to establish a connection on port 9000 with this computer. Sounds like Vista comes configured with a fairly restrictive firewall that even applies to itself. I haven't played with Vista yet but I suspect you'll need to authorize port 9000 in the security settings. -- mlsstl mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Okay During the install did you accept all the defaults? Can you confirm if the Service Slim.exe is running? ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SlimServer and VISTA
The Slimtray application runs under the account of the logged in user. However, the slimserver service is set to run under the system account. Unfortunately, under Vista, normal users are not allowed to start services. Try yourself by opening a command prompt and type 'net start slimserver' and you will be met with 'Access denied'. There might be a setting under Local Security Policies but I haven't found it. If you open up the services snap-in (Click Run... and type services.msc) you can start it there. That solved it for me and after that the web page works fine. Another alternative could be to change the slimserver service to run under your own account. I haven't tested that though. What is the purpose of the tray application BTW? Why not remove it from the startup folder and change the service settings so that Slimserver starts with Windows? The only thing that really works for me under Vista is the shortcut at the top to the web page but that can be done with a standard shortcut anyway. -- bergek Transporter - Squeezebox 3 - Serener GS-L02 - Via EPIA SP8000 - Ubuntu 6.06 Server bergek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32345 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Yes I got an Access Denied error however, it was proceed by a syntax error.

Re: [slim] SlimServer and VISTA
It is getting even more amazing to me that it appears that Slim folks have not tested any of this on VISTA. I contacted support this even and have been waiting to hear back as support admitted they have no VISTA machine to troubleshoot on after attemtping everything they could think of based on having no VISTA machine to troubleshoot on said they needed to consult others and would get back to me.

[slim] SlimServer on Vista
Looking ahead, I can't help but wonder if Slim is preparing for Vista. I currently have SlimServer running without any problems on WinXP 64 Bit. But I don't know if this guarantees that it will run in Vista. Are you guys preparing for the new OS? It is supposed to be on the streets sometime in the second half of '06. -- nelamvr6 nelamvr6's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21557 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
