Here are the steps needed to upgrade the SlimServer that comes with LinuxMCE (0704) to a newer version of Squeezecenter.
Upgrade SlimServer
- Download the version of SqueezeCenter you want to run to the core.
- cd to /usr/pluto/servers
- Backup the existing SlimServer directory.
mv SlimServer SlimServer.lmce
- Move the downloaded file to /usr/pluto/servers and unarchive it.
- Make a soft link to the new directory. This step just makes upgrades or downgrades go a little faster.
ln -s squeezecenter-some-version SlimServer
- Add a user slimserver and a group slimserver This is the default that Squeezecenter runs as
- Change the ownership of squeezecenter's directory to that of slimserver.
chown -R slimserver:slimserver squeezecenter-some-version
At this point you should be able to restart the dcerouter. This should start the new version of squeezecenter
