The Servoy server never starts a database, we do start a database in developer for convinience so it runs out of the box, but we dislike that…
An application should not start a real database (a not embedded one) is our opinion
:-S
I have been trying for ages to get Servoy server to start automatically using a startup item on Mac OS X, posting questions on the forum. I didn’t realise I had to start the database myself, so my startup item is probably working fine.
I was hoping you would fix the startup problem, soon! Maybe this is all in the documentation, but I failed to spot it… and I have wasted lots of time because of it.
To save others from doing the same, would it be possible to insert another message in the logs saying something like:
'Are you sure you have you started your database? Servoy Server does not do this for you. ’
