Library database cache not saved/used in 5.2.1

[Rob Funk]

Any idea why my music library db cache hasn't been touched since I upgraded
to 5.2.1? Every time I restart, my disk gets scanned. And telling the
server to wipe the cache doesn't appear to do anything.

It doesn't appear to be permissions:

% grep slimserver /etc/passwd
slimp3:x:201:201:SliMP3:/etc/slimserver:/bin/sh
% grep 201: /etc/group
slimp3:x:201:rfunk
% cd /etc/slimserver
% ls -lad . .slimserver.db
drwxrwxr-x 5 slimp3 slimp3 1024 Jul 9 20:52 .
-rw-r--r-- 1 slimp3 slimp3 2247903 Jul 7 00:55 .slimserver.db

Actually I just found this in the debug log with d_info turned on....
2004-07-10 22:07:53.4076 saving DB cache: /.slimserver.db
2004-07-10 22:07:53.4136 could not save DB cache (can't
create /.slimserver.db: Permission denied at (eval 17) line 27
)

So, why is it trying to save in the root directory rather than the home
directory?

I'm starting the server like this:

HOME=/etc/slimserver; export HOME
/opt/SlimServer/slimserver.pl --daemon \
--pidfile /var/run/slimserver/slimserver.pid \
--logfile /var/log/slimserver \
--prefsfile /etc/slimserver/slimserverrc

Answer: because I didn't specify what directory to use with the --cachedir
option, and I'm on Unix (Linux).

See patch in bug 444.
