Description Pat Farrell 2006-07-22 20:55:01 UTC

Just installed 6.5b1 - 8573 (July 22 nightly) on my Mandriva 10.1 system
that has been running assorted SlimServer versions for over a year.
The RPM succeeds, but the slimserver will not start.

The error log shows
mkdir /root/Cache: Permission denied at /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Utils/Prefs.pm line 440
mkdir /home/slimserver: Permission denied at /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Utils/Prefs.pm line 44

and a little investigation shows that the owner/permissions are not
right on /usr/local/slimserver
It is set to root:root, rather than slimserver:slimserver

seems related to bug/issue: 3358

Pat - I've fixed bug 3358

Can you see if this is still an issue? Will be in the July 24th nightly.

Thanks

Pat - I'm marking this as fixed, as I believe my recent changes to the RPM have done so.

Please reopen if you don't feel the same.

Thanks

Sorry, my day job got in the way of checking this.

I was going to try it right now, and downloaded the nightly from 
Sept 4, but there is no RPM version. Makes it hard to  test the RPM setup.

Let me know when you get another and I'll try it.

Thanks
Pat

The most recent 6.5 that I tried does not resolve this.
Same basic result, the RPM installation works, but the SlimServer will not start.

I installed SlimServer_6.5_v2006-09-05.noarch.rpm
on my Mandriva 10.1 Community edition.

Comment 5 Pat Farrell 2006-09-18 21:12:57 UTC

I tried the recent 6.5 and it installed cleanly and works fine.
6.5b3 - 9697 - Linux - EN - iso-8859-1

Not clear if this is fixed in the RPM, or just because I fixed it manually before.

Agree with pushing it off until 6.5.1.
Since Mandriva is about to release their 2007 version, it might make sense for me to install that OS, and try a clean RPM from whatever is state of the art then. We could then know if it is broken. And I'd have a clean Mandriva to test with and maybe even fix/create a Mandriva 2007 RPM. ( I haven't looked at rolling an RPM, but it can't be all that bad :-)

Comment 6 Dan Sully 2006-09-22 10:58:18 UTC

Ok, please let me know.

Comment 7 Dan Sully 2006-09-27 16:42:26 UTC

Pat, any update here? I'd like to get the RPM issues cleared up.

Thanks

Comment 8 Dan Sully 2006-09-27 17:20:00 UTC

Closing for now, as it appears to be working. Please reopen if you see it again.

Thanks Pat
