FFP packages for Squeezecenter 7.2

You need all packages in this directory. Some manual configuration is
still necessary.

You need the following ffp packages:

  mysql
  libpng
  libjpeg
  gd
  perl



IMPORTANT: You need the latest perl package (perl-5.10-2)!


Download and install squeezecenter packages:

  Open a telnet session and download packages:

# cd /mnt/HD_a2
# rsync -avP --delete inreto.de::dns323/squeezecenter-packages .
# cd squeezecenter-packages

  Install packages:

# funpkg -i *.tgz



  Next, configure mysql (see also Yannick's Squeezecenter tutorial at
    http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52664 )

# cp my.cnf /ffp/etc/
# mysql_install_db
# sh /ffp/start/mysqld.sh start

  (Optional:) You might want to run:

# mysql_secure_installation

  Create the slimserver database:

# mysql -u root
mysql> create database slimserver;
mysql> grant all on slimserver.* to 'slimserver'@'localhost' identified by '';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> exit


  Finally, start slimserver. Note that Slimserver is awfully slow, and
  will eat all your memory. Before starting slimserver you should
  consider stopping any other services (except mysql, of course).

# sh /ffp/start/slimserver.sh start

  (Ignore the warning about missing group 1000)

  Wait another minute or two, then browse to

    http://bob:9000/        (replace bob with the name or IP address of your nas)

  to do the initial configuration. It's best to leave it alone while
  it's scanning your files.
