Installation

L'installation va placer les fichier aux emplacements suivant - De ce fait si vous utilisez déjà ces emplacements, veuillez déplacer les fichiers qui sont déjà dedans.

 /home/slimserver
 /opt/share/ss65

1) Login as root, and make sure your PATH is correct:

 # export PATH=$PATH:/opt/libexec:/opt/bin

2) Add the slimserver group and user by editing /etc/passwd and /etc/group. Create the /home/slimserver folder.

3) Install the perl, expat and mysql packages. The slimserver ipkg will request them but it is better to do manually in case there are problems, you'll know where to look.

 # ipkg update; ipkg install perl expat mysql perl-compress-zlib

4) Create the /home/slimserver folder, and add the slimserver group (edit /etc/group) and slimserver user (edit /etc/passwd).

5) Change current directory to where the ss65_6.5.1-1_armeb.ipk has been saved.

6) install the Slimserserver package with the command

 # ipkg install ss65_6.5.1-1_armeb.ipk 

 Change the first line in /opt/share/ss65/slimserver.pl from "#!/usr/bin/perl -w" to "#!/opt/bin/perl -w", and fix some permissions:

 # chmod a=rw /opt/share/ss65/Slim/Utils
 # chmod -R a=rwx /opt/share/ss65

7) Edit /opt/share/ss65/MySQL/my.tt, add a "#" in front of "innodb_fast_shutdown = 1"

8) If it install goes OK, try the command

 # slimserver

The response should be

 Usage: /opt/bin/slimserver {start|stop|status|enable|disable|firewall|wanenable|wandisable|info} 

9) If it works. then try

 # slimserver info 

10) To start slimserver used the command below - it will take a couple of minutes before your see a "Slimserver Started message"

 # slimserver start 

11) To see progress through log file you can do

 # tail /home/slimserver/slimserver.log

The following is a normal start - the last line about port 9000 indicate web interface is ready.

 # tail /home/slimserver/slimserver.log

        http://nslu2:9000/

12) By default slimserver will not start as part of boot - if you want this then add an executable script as /opt/etc/init.d/S85slimserver:

 #!/bin/sh
 /opt/bin/slimserver start

There is an issue with this build - there seems to be too many mysql processes started. bpa of openfsg.com is looking into it.

Issues

• It seems like the mysql server gets kicked off twice: once when it is installed and then again when slimserver starts up.
• You shouldn't bother to install this on anything but a TurboSlug?. Even turbo, scanning the whole music library took half an hour.
