   I am working here on Slitaz 4. It is installed to the harddrive. I just realized that I cannot call up tazpanel. Anybody here to have an idea what the reason might be?
   Of course I went through this:
   http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/new-to-slitaz-just-updated-all-and-lost-package-manager-whats-the-deal/page/2
   And before I had deleted and re-installed it.

   Hi Michael,

   First, you can access TazPanel using both addresses:
   http://tazpanel:82/ or
   http://127.0.0.1:82/
   Try it, maybe it solves your problem.

   Second, try to restart TazPanel server (as root user). I not sure about "restart" command, you can read output of command "tazpanel" in your system. For restarting try sequence of these commands:
   tazpanel stop
   tazpanel start
   Note errors in terminal (I may completely wrong and SliTaz 4 may haven't "tazpanel" command, I can't recall).

   PS. Oh, you enlarged your message while I wrote the answer. Great topic you're linked.

   Try to debug tazpanel this way. Better if you have "curl" installed, you can execute command
   curl -I http://127.0.0.1:82/
   to see http headers provided by tazpanel. Without option "-I" you'll see the tazpanel output (html page). Also you can see page without headers using command
   wget -O - http://127.0.0.1:82/

   I recall one problem in the past when tazpanel not prepended the html page information with the http headers.

   Thanks, Aleksej!
   Output is:

   root@(none):/home/tux# tazpanel stop
   Stopping TazPanel web server...sh: can't kill pid 1671: No such process

   root@(none):/home/tux# tazpanel start
   Starting TazPanel web server on port 82... [ OK ]
   root@(none):/home/tux# httpd: bind: Address already in use

   And:
   curl -I http://127.0.0.1:82/
   <= that gives no output at all.

   So the whole thing is still a riddle. A new installation would be the most practical thing, yes. But now it started to be a sport, eh?

   Yeah, a kind of sport :)

   But... Why "(none)"? I think your host must have different name? Please, check output of command "hostname" and content of file "/etc/hostname". Then try to set host name using root command
   hostname slitaz
   And maybe
   echo slitaz > /etc/hostname
   And retry again with the tazpanel.

   PS. Do you have "glibc-dev" or "nscd" package installed?

   /etc/hosts had:
   127.0.0.1 localhost slitaz tazpanel
   So this was not the problem.

   I have now de-installed tazpanel and tazpkg. Now I have first to find the packages in the Internet, download them and install them - but without using tazpkg.
   May the installation is broken then? At least I have to manually re-install it: to open the *.pkg-file resp. unarchive it and then copy the file to the given places. Yes?

   This did not help me:
   http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/97494/how-do-i-install-tazpkg-in-slitaz-linux

   $ mv tazpkg-5.1.tazpkg tazpkg-5.1.tazpkg.gz
   $ gunzip tazpkg-5.1.tazpkg.gz

   Output:
   root@slitaz:/home/tux/Desktop# gunzip tazpkg-4.9.2.tazpkg.gz
   gunzip: invalid magic

   Michael,

   I did not tell you about /etc/hosts. Read carefully: file /etc/hostname and command hostname.
   BTW, now your "root@(none)" magically changed to "root@slitaz" :-S

   How to install tazpkg manually.

   1. Use pkgs.slitaz.org to find your package. The link for downloading TazPkg from SliTaz-4.0 is: http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/tazpkg-4.9.2.tazpkg
   2. Make new folder, and move your package here. Let it be /tmp/tazpkg
   3. Open terminal, become root, go to /tmp/tazpkg
   4. Extract "outer layer" of package:
      cpio -i < ./tazpkg-4.9.2.tazpkg
      You'll see:
      

      files.list
      fs.cpio.lzma
      md5sum
      receipt

   5. Extract fs.cpio.lzma in two simple steps:
      

      lzma -d ./fs.cpio.lzma
      cpio -i < ./fs.cpio

      or just in one command:
      lzcat ./fs.cpio.lzma | cpio -i

   6. Now folder fs appeared. You can copy it's content to your filesystem:
      

      cp -a ./fs/* /

   7. Now take care about tazpkg packages database, because you not updated /var/lib/tazpkg/...; just update tazpkg using tazpkg itself to add it to it's database:
      tazpkg -gi tazpkg --forced

   Hope it helps.

   Yes, it helped. But unfortunately it did not solve the problem. Enough sport then: I just did a new install, not even 10 minutes. Thanks a lot for your help. Your advice how to open a slitaz package is important for me!

   Having slept one night over it I suppose that the culprit is in your last part:
   „tazpkg using tazpkg itself to add it to it's database:
   tazpkg -gi tazpkg --forced“
   Several times I had installed some extra packages directly, but forgot to update the database of tazpkg packages. May be that broke tazpkg and tazpanel as a result?

   Packages database updated automatically when you install or remove packages. You'll find folder /var/lib/tazpkg/installed/@package_name@ with receipt and file list inside. Installed packages also listed in /var/lib/tazpkg/installed.info. This info (receipt, files list, etc. are comes from installed *.tazpkg package during installation process.

   May it broke tazpkg and tazpanel? Not clear. May or not.
   Just tazpkg cannot handle your "directly installed" packages: know nothing about installed files(1), cannot update packages(2), cannot find common overlapped files with other packages(3), you can't easy uninstall(4) or repack your package, etc.

    Thanks a lot for the advice. Ok, the question cannot be answered right now but may leave a hint for the future.
    And a lot of thanks to @Gibor, who had compiled kompozer - for my personal use one of the most important things, as I use it daily. His kompozer also works on Slitaz 5.0 as well.
