====Inform Yum====
 +
Now ensure that yum's database is updated. This is needed after any db addition/change to the yum_repositories.
 +
signal-event yum-modify
 +
 +
===Installation===
 +
Lets install the star attraction.
 +
yum --enablerepo=squeezecenter-release install squeezeboxserver
 +
 +
 +
Better give ourselves some control and open the music to the world. You will need both TCP and UDP ports at least initially. If you are concerned about security there is info in the squeezebox forums (http://forums.slimdevices.com/) that tell you precisely when each port is required.
 +
db configuration set squeezeboxserver service \
 +
status enabled \
 +
TCPPorts 9000,3483 \
 +
UDPPorts 9000,3483 \
 +
access private
 +
{{Note box|By default the above enables the service, opens the ports, and sets the access to private (ie. your LAN. If you wish to open this to the internet you change '''private''' to '''public'''.}}
 +
to change your install to public, either change private to public above or enter
 +
db configuration setprop squeezeboxserver access public
 +
{{Warning box|If you choose to make Squeezebox server  public then it is highly recommended that you configure Squeezebox server to require a username and password. This can be done from Squeezebox server's Settings->Advanced tab.}}
 +
 +
 +
Tell SME what we have done.
 +
signal-event remoteaccess-update
 +
 +
===Create a File Structure===
 +
The following is a suggestion on how to create a file structure. You can alternatively create an ibay or user for these. In christian's config for example, he has an ibay with all of his media which points SqueezeCenter and Jinzora to. However he maintains Squeezebox servers's playlists per william_syd's suggestion below.
 +
 +
Lets make somewhere for music and playlists.
 +
 +
mkdir -p /opt/squeezeboxserver/playlists
 +
mkdir -p /opt/squeezeboxserver/music
 +
 +
And give squeezey ownership of the above.
 +
 +
chown squeezeboxserver:squeezeboxserver /opt/squeezeboxserver/playlists
 +
chown squeezeboxserver:squeezeboxserver /opt/squeezeboxserver/music
 +
 +
{{Note box|If you use an alternate directory entry, you will need to ensure squeezebox server has permissions for that directory. For example by including it in the appropriate group assigned to an ibay.}}
 +
 +
===Install Perl 5.10.0===
 +
cd /usr/local
 +
wget http://www.herger.net/slim/perl510.tgz
 +
tar -xzf perl510.tgz
 +
 +
check perl has installed ok with:
 +
/usr/local/perl510/bin/perl5.10.0 -v
 +
 +
Which should give the following
 +
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
 +

Complete documentation for Perl, including FAQ lists, should be found on
 +
this system using "man perl" or "perldoc perl".  If you have access to the
 +
Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.org/, the Perl Home Page.
 +
 +
===Patch Squeezebox server to use Perl5.10.0===
 +
 +
ln -s /usr/local/perl510/bin/perl5.10.0 /usr/local/bin/
 +
ln -s /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/ /usr/libexec/CPAN
 +
 +
Edit first line of '''/usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver''' and '''/usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver-scanner'''
 +
from
 +
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 +
to
 +
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5.10.0 -w
 +
 +
Edit '''/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim/bootstrap.pm'''
 +
 +
Around line 148 find some code like
 +
# prepend our directories to @INC so we look there first.
 +
unshift @INC, @SlimINC;
 +
 +
Add a line to change this into
 +
  # prepend our directories to @INC so we look there first.
 +
  @INC = grep { $_ !~ /5\.8/ } @INC;
 +
  unshift @INC, @SlimINC;
 +
 +
===Initial Launch===
 +
To test the fist time start Squeezebox server manually (beware the very long command):
 +
 +
sudo -u squeezeboxserver /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver --prefsdir=/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs --logdir=/var/log/squeezeboxserver --cachedir=/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache --charset=utf8 --d_startup --s_stdout
 +
 +
The debug messages should help hi-light any problems, use Ctrl-C to stop.
 +
 +
If that all looked ok, start Squeezebox server as a service.
 +
service squeezeboxserver start
 +
 +
Access the administration page:
 +
http://your_SMEserver:9000/
 +
 +
===Updating===
 +
If the administration page informs you that there is an update available then you can update. It may be advisable to stop Squeezebox Server first with
 +
service squeezeboxserver stop
 +
Then
 +
yum --enablerepo=squeezecenter-release update squeezeboxserver
 +
 +
'''You will need to re-patch the three files detailed above after each update.'''
 +
 +
Once all is updated and re-patched, restart
 +
service squeezeboxserver start
