When I open developer I get an error message ‘Can’t set up the repository server specified in the application preferences’, the details of which are ‘could not find repository server: repository_server’. Under preferences the DB Servers panel is empty.
The repository hasn’t been changed, none of the settings have been touched, and all the servers are still listed in the servoy.properties file. Does anyone have any idea why Servoy can no longer see the repository?
Next to the database server properties Servoy also keeps track of the database server count using the following syntax:
ServerManager.numberOfServers=x
This is most likely set to 0 (zero).
You will find this somewhere at the beginning of the properties file.
Change it back to the database server count. Save the properties file and restart Developer.
All database servers should appear again (and Servoy should be able to find the repository again).
are you still getting this with RC8?
This shouldn’t happen anymore. We made several checks for that.
Brilliant!! Thank-you Robert, it worked like a charm.
And Johan, for several reasons we’re still using rc5, so sorry but I can’t comment on rc8 just yet - but no reason to suspect it doesn’t work. Nice to know that problem’s been dealt with.
