SlimServer service fails to start after upgrade
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:38:25 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.

I can only guess that something is wrong here with Win32:API, and the process priority setting. there is no use of "PushSelf" in Slim::Utils::Misc that I can find.

I have been watching the forums and there are quite a few postings for the 6.2.2 SlimServer not starting. They do not include the event log entries unfortunately.
yes, I've read them too. Please be patient. This is a developers tool, and as such, developers like myself will be leaving notes to share ideas. This is not always a direction for the user or any suggestion of a bad setup. Bad setups are, in fact a support, issue and would be thus directed to support. If you wish for a more one-on-one type of help with the problem, please do contact support@slimdevices.com and they will help you dig further to help diagnose the problem and can copy the results to this report.
just noticed, target should be 6.3 since that is the next possible release.
I have this one too. Here is my 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.
Fixed in change 7294 for the 6.3 branch - it will be in the 2006-05-05 nightly.
Verified fixed in SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 8002 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252
This bug fix is now part of a released version, and so has been marked closed. If you are still experiencing this problem, please reopen the bug.
