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

Configure Squeezecenter

Squeezecenter needs a little configuration before it will work with LMCE

• In a web browser, goto http://dcerouter:9000 This should bring up the squeezecenter interface.
• Click on settings in the lower right hand corner.
• Select Plugins from the menu at the top
• Select Command Line Interface (CLI)
• Set the port to 7890
• Click on Apply in the lower right hand corner
• Restart the dcerouter from either the admin web site or the console
