Squeezebox Server

App Fix for Fedora 12 to 14 Upgrade

Sometimes the Upgrade from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 causes the Squeezebox Server to fail, showing the error message "The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."

When logging in to a GUI session the following boot error message may be shown:

Starting Squeezebox Server: The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with Squeezebox Server: CGI::Cookie (loaded <not found>, need 1.27)

The following steps resolve the issue:

In a terminal on the HDA do the following:

Type 'yum install perl-CPAN' and accept all the prompts

Type 'cpan' and accept all defaults (configuring cpan takes a while)

At the cpan prompt type 'force install CGI::Cookie'

Leave cpan by typing 'quit'

Type '/etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver start' to start squeezeserver
