A little more info would be helpful.

Specific version of your OS?

Which rpm did you install? What was the install method (i.e. command line)?

What does the /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log say?

[phreak]

squeezebox server does not seem to get far enough into starting to generate a Log file, the folder exitsts but is empty

this is the error I get

[root@ns1 Downloads]# service squeezeboxserver start
Starting Squeezebox Server: Can't locate Slim/bootstrap.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libexec /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver line 137.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver line 137.
[FAILED]

also I can not find a file called bootstrap.pm anywhere, or a folder called slim.

# sudo find /usr -name 'bootstrap.pm'

..ought to show that it's at:

/usr/share/perl5/Slim/bootstrap.pm

..or..

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim/bootstrap.pm

If it's not, then you should attempt to clean all traces lms off your system and then reinstall.

[phreak]

what is the most stable / known working rpm package for Centos 6.2?

the one for download from mysqueezebox.com?
or one of the repo versions?

please let me know what you think

I have exactly the same problem as this user and precisely the same error message.Running "find /usr -name 'bootstrap.pm'" gives me a path of "/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim/bootstrap.pm" which is correct, yes?

Where to now!?

All right, here are some more things to check:

First off, does the system have a 'squeezeboxserver' user?

# sudo id squeezeboxserver

If that command returns something like:

uid=991(squeezeboxserver) gid=985(squeezeboxserver) groups=985(squeezeboxserver)

..then yes, you have a squeezeboxserver user. And if you do, then execute the following command:

# sudo ln -s -T /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim

Then try starting the service:

# sudo service logitechmediaserver start

..and tell us if that worked..
