After uninstalling Servoy 3.1.6 and installing the new 3.5 evalution version 3.5 Servoy developer I get the message: cant connect to the repository server specified in the application preferences. The details button shows an error message JZ006 conncetion refused.

I also see that sybase is not running.

The installation went fine, no errros or what so ever on Windows XP Sp2  
How can I fix this?

regards,  
jan willem

Any errors in the logs?  
Did you try a clean install in a fresh directory?  
Did you stop ASA 9 before installing?

Hallo Jan,

1. yes, I did stop ASA9 before installing
2. I did an uninstall using uninstaller.jar. Checked the d:\servoy directory on remaining files. But thought that the remaning sybase\_log.txt could not be a cause of errors;
3. yes I did a clean install, but no not in a fresh directory, although the servoy files were deleted;
4. yes, there are error messsages in the sybase\_log.txt log file, like  
E. 09/02 13:05:47. Cannot open transaction log file – servoy\_repository.log was created by a different version of the software. You must rebuild this database in order to use it with SQL Anywhere 10.

What a drag! That a new sybase version stumbles on a log file?!  
After deleting the log files and restarting Servoy developer, I could re-import my test applications. So I’m back on the road again.

Thanks for your support.

Regards, Jan Willem
