Cannot auto update Servoy 7.4.1. Server url seems dead

Classic Servoy
1

I thought I would make a separate post for this as it seems to be a server problem.

One of my developer environments is 7.4.1 and I would like to upgrade it to 7.4.10, or whatever the latest version of 7.4 is.

When I choose to update via the servoy_updater.jar, I get this:

BMBPR-2:~ bevil$ java -jar /Applications/Servoy\ (7.4\ SW\ 2014\ LIVE)/servoy_updater.jar
Current Servoy version 2028
Checking for new Servoy version
Working in directory: /Users/bevil
Loading version info…
No update found, if you want beta versions start with option: -beta
Done, Servoy can be started

If I choose check for updates from the help menu, I get 'Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail.
No repository found at https://www.servoy.com/developer/70x_updates. Manually visiting that page results in a 404.

I don’t have the time to migrate all of the solutions / workspaces / databases / etc. to a new install (and then bugfix the migration), so having it able to automatically update would be useful.

Thanks

Hi Bevil,

Looking at my freshly installed 7.4.10 I see that the update site is different.

http://download.servoy.com/developer/70x_updates/

The Xulrunner site is however failing, but when I change it to the following URL it seems to work:

http://download.servoy.com/developer/xulrunner/

Hope this helps.

yes with the new website that is now in the air for quite some time
the update site/download urls did change
all the urls that are: WWW.servoy.com should now be DOWNLOAD.servoy.com

if you want to update an 7.4.1 server i think you should first take the servoy_updater.jar of a newer one (so 7.4.10)
I think that should then work

Smashing. Thank you Robert and Johan. I will try it.

Hi Johan.

It seems like taking the updater from servoy 7.4.10 and copying it into a 7.4.1 directory and running it does not work. Output is still:

BMBPR-2:~ bevil$ java -jar /Applications/Servoy\ (7.4\ SW\ 2014\ LIVE)/servoy_updater.jar
Current Servoy version 2028
Checking for new Servoy version
Working in directory: /Users/bevil
Loading version info…
No update found, if you want beta versions start with option: -beta
Done, Servoy can be started

:(

it could be that that installer doesn’t work because it doesn’t pass beta releases that are also listed…

Can you try with -beta or with a -intermediate 2049

to force the installer to go over a beta?

Nope, tried each:
