Squeezecenter database creation

[vakuumbarn]

After the latest update Squuezecenter stopped working, since I used the "beta" version, I didn't look into it much and uninstalled squeezecenter and removed the database with the uninstall script.

However, reinstallling squeezecenter does not create a new database and I'm not quite sure what do to. After some searching I figured "dpkg-reconfigure squeezecenter" might do the trick, but the script fails because it never asks me for the root password for mysql and therefore fails.

Any suggestions?

First you can check that squeezecenter is fully installed; Issue following command:

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii

if squeezecenter shows up here, then it means that is hasn't been correctly installed/upgraded.
I know there can be problems sometimes removing squeezecenter, and answer wrongly on the questions, if so, try following to fully remove it:

Code: Select all

apt-get remove --purge squeezecenter

After that you might be able to install it from scratch again; if you get any notices that a dir wasn't empty when removed, you can often just remove the dir manually (for example if it complains that /var/lib/squeezecenter isn't empty).

Hope this might help you.

Hi!
I had the same problem with the database not being created. Though I removed the root password requirement on the MySql server and managed to run the reconfigure command (as mentioned above).

Anyway, I can now see the squeezecenter service when running netstat -l showing to ports 9000 and 9090. My squeezebox can connect (probably through port 9090) but cannot play anything (or browse my music). When trying to surf through port 9000 it says wep page not found.

server.log shows the following errors:

Looks like some problem with scanning my files or upgrade database with the result? I'm stuck now so I would appreciate all help I can get.

Hello again!
My last post in this thread. I started all over from the beginning.

I removed SqueezeCenter with the switch --purge added to the command (which I saw from Carl above). Then I let the installation (still with "no pass for root account needed" turned on. Though I saw now under the installation that it also ask for root password (which it didn't do during the reconfigure process described earlier in my posts).

Anyway I followed the instructions and now it works!
Awaiting the next headake when trying to upgrade to the next version
