could not find server: 'repository_server'

I’m plugging along, making my first Servoy solution. It’s been going okay, but now I get a message “Can’t setup the repository server specified in the application preferences” with detail as in the subject line of this post.

In prefs > db servers, there is nothing visible, whereas before, there were the servers I set up (which are indeed in the servoy > database folder).

I notice that in that folder is a file “servoy_repository.db”. What is the connection between that and the “repository_server” file that Servoy cannot find, if any?

Thank you…

Did you do an update of Servoy recently ? (that bug should have been fixed though).

Anyway..check out this thread:
http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?t=4562

Version R2 2.2-build 328

I did read that thread (and any others containing “repository” that looked appropriate). Could not find “ServerManager.numberOfServers=x” in the properties file.

I suppose I could try reinstalling Servoy. How do I do this without losing the work I have done so far; is it automatic, or should I set certain folders aside?

If that line is not there…quit servoy and add it.

That did not change matters, unfortunately.

Hmm… is it helpful to attach a screenshot, and if so how might I do it? I’m on a Mac FWIW.

Thanks for your help![/code]

Well attachment are not supported on this forum anymore.
So if you have a website where you can put pictures up then that would work.

About your question on a reinstall without losing your work.
You simply can copy/move your repository db (and log) file to a save place and reinstall Servoy.
After the install you move the files back and start Servoy.

Thanks!

I’ll try that.
