Running 7.4 from svn code..

[gharris999]

In honor of the imminent release of Squeezebox Server 7.4, here is a script that will download and configure the 7.4 svn code to run as a service. This script is meant for Fedora and like distros. It will need to be tweaked for debian/ubuntu. The script requires a working installation of SBS 7.4 (installed via yum or rpm) to serve as a "template."

#!/bin/sh
# Script to install the Squeezebox Server svn code to run as a service on Fedora and other RH like distros.
#
# Prerequsite: squeezeboxserver must first be installed via yum or from a rpm.
#
# After running this script, you can (if you want or need to) safely uninstall squeezeboxserver: 'yum erase squeezeboxserver'  or 'rpm -e squeezeboxserer'

user=`whoami`
if [ "$user" != "root" ] 
  then
    echo 'Error: This script needs to be run with root cridentials,'
    echo "either via # sudo $0"
    echo 'or under su.'
    exit
fi

Hi. That looks interesting, since I installed SBS 7.4 on fedora 10 and I'm not seeing my controller in mysqueezebox.com/players neither my local music.

I'm quite a noob with those could you explain in a non technical way what do I achieve with the script?
With this one can I fix my issues? by the way how can I see the SBS 7.4 interface?

thanks in advance

Sorry, no, this script won't fix any ailments that you might have with SBS. The reason why I use scripts of this sort is so that, as a developer, I can have parallel installs of 7.5 & 7.4 & 7.3.
