Upon trying to restart slimserver after an upgrade I get the following error message: ------ rikku mysql # /etc/init.d/slimserver start * Starting slimserver ... Can't write to >>/var/log/slimserver: Is a directory at /opt/slimserver/slimserver.pl line 838. [ !! ] ------ A quick cat of /etc/init.d/slimserver shows the following: ------ --logfile /var/log/slimserver \ ------ Note that --logfile points to a directory, not a file. The solution is to replace the affected line with: ------ --logfile /var/log/slimserver/slimserver.log \ ------ which points to the correct log file.
Are you sure about this? It works for me, and I've had a look at the SlimServer source code and it very much looks like --logfile expects a file, not a directory. My hypothesis is that your old installation of slimserver had a directory /var/log/slimserver, and because of the way portage upgrades things (adding new before removing old) this directory blocked the installation of the /var/log/slimserver file. Please re-open this bug if this analysis is not correct. Cheers, Tom
