No Slimserver Access After 6.5.1 Upgrade on Ubuntu

[damytzeus]

Last week, I upgraded my SS on Ubuntu from ver. 6.5 to 6.5.1. Since then, I cannot access the server from a web browser.

I "netsat | a" and did not find any application using port 9000.

I ran ps ax | grep slim and saw the following:
woshodin@ubuntu:~$ ps ax | grep slim
5727 ? Ss 0:01 /bin/bash /usr/sbin/slimserver_safe /usr/sbin/slimserver --prefsfile /etc/slimserver/slimserver.pref --logfile /var/log/slimserver/slimserver.log --cachedir /var/cache/slimserver
9555 ? R 0:01 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/slimserver --prefsfile /etc/slimserver/slimserver.pref --logfile /var/log/slimserver/slimserver.log --cachedir /var/cache/slimserver


The slimserver.log file contains numerous entries like this:

2007-02-03 12:47:26.4489 ERROR: forceCommit: Trying to commit transactions before DB is initialized!

The system monitor does indicate that SS is running. I successfully upgraded my backup SS on my Windows XP laptop. My Squeezeboxes successfully run off that one.

I am a linux novice. I have ran my SS on ubuntu for over a year though.

I appreciate your assistance and guidance.

Problem solved. After a week of brain damage, I decided to upgrade to MySQL 5.0 and completely remove and reinstall Slimserver.

This appears to solve the problem.

Nice you got it up and running again :-)

I upgraded from 6.5 to 6.5.1 on Ubuntu by running
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
(answered yes to keep my old slimserver startup script)

and everything just worked...
