Biography - can't get it to work with 6.3.0 latest nightly

[HankD]

Hi,
I had to reinstall Slim Server and I am now trying to add Biography again, installed the files incl the Perl but nothing shows up...I have the latest nightly. Any hints? Maybe I am just doing something wrong but I think this is the way I did before...
Windows XP.
Cheers

Please run slim.exe -d_plugins from a command window. It will display
information about the plugin initialization. What does it say?

Hmmm, it says: can't find file slim.exe...

It's in something like

c:\program files\Slimserver for Windows\server

Thanks, now I understand...of course...sorry. I'm a newbie.
I got the command working and the window opened up and there was
a message there for a second but then the window ws gone.
I used this line
C:\Program\SlimServer\server\slim.exe -d_plugins

Is it OK?

Do open a command window first and run that command from there.

> C:\Program\SlimServer\server\slim.exe -d_plugins

Your on a german Windows? I then should be "Programm". If not, then it's
rather "Program files". Please verify the path before running it.

Michael,
Suddenly Biography appears...and everything looks fine!!
Thanks.
Couldn't understand the error message at all.
Anyway, I'm glad it's all working. I've been using this
plugin a lot!
Please let me know if you spot something strang with the
message I got...

Thanks

Ok, seems pretty clear to me :-). You'll have to shut down your main
slimserver first, before running that command.
