Was SlimServer running on this system before or is this a new install?  It looks like port 9092 may be blocked.  Are you running any Antivirus or Firewall software?

This is a completely new install, everything from scratch.
My firewall is turned off, and I´m able to telnet to localhost 9092.

# netstat  -a | grep 9092
tcp4       0      0  localhost.9092         *.*                    LISTEN

I wonder if this may be related to bug 5166.  I am assuming you are installing 6.5.3.  Have you tried installing an older version of the server?  They are available here http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/

Tried 6.2.0, without sucsess.
I was told to hold the brightness botton to start a firmware upgrade.
After the upgrade I´m not able to connect to the wireless network.
Is the firmware connected to the software version on the SlimServer?
How do I rollback?

firmware is tied to slimserver version.   install different slimserver version and you will get the different firmware.

it wasn't necessary to open a new bug report as it is extremely unlikely that you have in fact uncovered a NEW bug from using and OLD version of slimserver.  Consider holding the ADD button  when you plug the player in.   This will reset to factory defaults and you can re-enter wireless settings to fit.

Just wanted to mention that bug 5166 has been fixed in the latest nightly builds.

Martin, have you contacted support with this issue?

http://www.slimdevices.com/su_tech.html

Tried with 6.5.0, scanner still never seem to finish.
Will give it a try with latest build and see if the bug still is there.

Could you give us a bit more of that tail, Martin?  I'd be interested to see what the scanner thinks it's doing right before the crash.

SlimServer can't connect to MySQL. Did you ever use a password with this database? 

Can you remove SlimServer _completely_, including anything slimserver related in /Library and ~/Library. Make sure MySQL files are removed as well. Then reinstall and try again.

> SlimServer can't connect to MySQL. Did you ever use a password with this database? 
I never changed anything to the SlimServer software. Only the Music path trough the webinterface.
I am however running my own MySQL server, this shouldn´t interfere with SlimServer, should it?

# netstat  | grep -i mysql
 2dbaf68 stream      0      0  26e039c        0        0        0 /tmp/mysql.sock

I removed the SlimServer pref pane from the setting, and ~/Library/SlimDevices.
Couldn´t find anything in /Library

Running 6.5.4 on a fresh install of OS X 10.4.10

Martin - did you contact support? This is a bug tracker, not a support platform. But you issue very likely isn't a new bug, but a problem with your installation. Thanks!

Hi,

I´ve contacted support, they keep asking me if I have rebooted the mashine, reinstalled the server, if I can refresh the webinterface, if I have antivirus, and want me to do things in the DOS windows. etc.

They don´t even read the data I have provided them! :-/
I don´t have any DOS windows, I´m using OS X 10.4.10.

I´ve reinstalled the OS, tried nightly builds, latest stabel and older versions of the server.

I noticed that mysql is running when I try to shutdown the server and it fails writing the data to the database..

Please let me know if I can provide you with any more information or try new things.


Cheers,
Martin

Try doing these from the terminal (Applications, Utilities):

/Users/martin/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server/slimserver.pl --d_mysql --d_startup


and in another terminal once slimserver is running:
/Users/martin/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server/scanner.pl --wipe --d_info --d_import /path/to/music


of course, substitute the last bit for your music folder path.  If you rely only on itunes use:
--wipe --itunes --d_import --d_itunes

Check your music folder for any loops (shortcuts that point back to another place in the music folder tree) and watch the scanner details to see what it might be looping through or getting stuck on.  The error dump suggests that mysql is either crashing somewhere along the way or getting locked up so that closing the server cannot cleaning end mysql.  either of these terminal windows should show you any error messages that get spit out by either process along the way.

Is there some kind of firewall turned out that's blocking outgoing connections, especially third-party firewalls?

SlimServer can't connect to slimdevices.com or the built-in mySQL process.  

I given up, I don´t have the time to play with this.
When I get my Linux server back up, I´ll give it a try.
