slack doesn't work

[hodaz]

I think I set some configurations well
but it is not working.

"my.cnf" file exists in "/root/slack-0.14.1/test/testsource/roles/nss/
files/etc/" folder, but
I can't find "/etc/my.cnf" file after executing "slack -v"

can you help me?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but...

Since you're telling slack the ROOT is
/root/slack-0.14.1/test/tmp/root, shouldn't you be looking for
/root/slack-0.14.1/test/tmp/root/etc/my.cnf, and not /etc/my.cnf?

See slack.conf(5) -- the ROOT variable is used to tell
slack-installfiles the root of where you want to install files.
Useful for testing as you're doing now, or for installing things into
a chroot, or whatever. It's like the --root option to dpkg or rpm,
except we don't chroot() when running scripts (though we do pass them
$ROOT in their environment).

Also, for future reference, you can give slack more -v's for more
verbosity. -vv should show you something like:

slack-installfiles: Syncing
'/root/slack-0.14.1/test/tmp/stage/roles/nss/files/' to
'/root/slack-0.14.1/test/tmp/root/'

Oops... I forgot to put some smileys in there and to indicate your
confusion is understandable, and I don't think you're an idiot. I (or
somebody) should at some point write some tutorials that explain
everything better. Also, I'm really glad you asked a question here
instead of just giving up. So here's five smileys:

:) :) :) :) :)

Distribute them as you wish throughout the previous email :) <-- bonus smiley

Thank you for your kind answer :)

I succeeded sync test for your help.

I should have read doc files more carefully...I am so sorry.

There are many kinds of smileys in Korea.
