Ok, let's forget for a moment, what you've tried so far. How doyou install
updates? Do you untar them to a new folder, rename it and run it from
theres? Don't do this. Just untar/copy the latest release over your
existing slimserver folder.
Because the module build is installed into that directory tree you have to
do it over and over again when you start a new release from a new folder.
If you just copy the new release over the old one, you'll keep the built
modules.
sh-2.05b# /etc/rc.d/init.d/slimserver start
Starting SlimServer: [ OK ]
sh-2.05b# /etc/rc.d/init.d/slimserver status
slimserver.pl is stopped
This is not rpm related, but imho a permissions issue. I'd suggest to
start all over again and remove anything slimserver related:
/root/.slimserver*, /root/slimserver*, /etc/slimserver*. Move them to some
other place so you still have a backup. Double-check you don't have
anything like *slimserver* in /etc/ and /root/. Try the rpm install. This
must work.
The reason slimserver does not start as a service is probably that paths
in /etc/slimserver.pref are pointing to the root's home (eg. cache
folder). As the slimserver user, under which it tries to start, is not
allowed to access those files, startup failes. If you remove all those
files slimserver will start over again and re-create everything where it
belongs. Give it a try. You can still go back to the backed up files, if
you want.
I don't have a log file at /tmp/slimserver.log. I checked that
slimserver does own slimserver.conf and slimserversql.db. Is
slimserversql.db supposed to be hidden? It shows up as
.slimserversql.db.
In what place?
