Below is the error I am getting:

# ./servoy\_server.sh

Loading servoy.properties from /servoy.properties  
Loading - Done  
Exception in thread “main” com.servoy.j2db.persistence.RepositoryException: Could not find repository server: ‘repository\_server’  
at com.servoy.j2db.persistence.ServerManager.getRepositoryServer(Unknown Source)  
at com.servoy.j2db.server.ApplicationServer.main(Unknown Source)

# 

Here is the contents of:

# cd sybase\_db

# ls

charsets scripts sybase.config

# 

I do not have an error log that may explain why sybase does not start up.

I am using Solaris 9 for Sparc. Any thoughts?

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
