SlimServer service fails to start after upgrade
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:38:10 UTC
I upgraded from 6.2.1 to the GA release of 6.2.2 and am experiencing the following problem. After installation, the SlimServer service fails with the following errors in the event log: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Application ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Can't call method "PushSelf" on an undefined value at /PerlApp/Slim/Utils/Misc.pm line 132. Attempting to manually start the service via the services control panel or the tray tool experience the same problem. Obviously I cannot increase the logging level in the SlimServer to help diagnose as the service never starts. I uninstalled 6.2.2 and installed the latest nightly (04/28) of 6.3.0. It also experienced the problem. Backing off to 6.2.1 solved the problem. SlimServer is once again functioning normally on the GA of 6.2.1.
