Hi all,
I am new to Servoy. I have found it’s applications really really awesome so wanted to try it. Just now I have installed it on my Ubuntu environment and while installation I was prompted to make a choice for the database. I have chosen the third option that is connect to an existing database as I already have a lot of databases on my local mysql server. While creating the application I have right clicked on Database servers and the options in create new database are disabled. There are only two options in it one is a Postgresql and other is a Sybase. Also the existing DBs such as bug_db etc are not working and the IDE is unable to locate the drivers. An error message pops up and it says “/servoy/developer/…/application_server/servoy.properties (Permission denied)”
Help me in this guys.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
This seems like a permissions issue. Try installing Servoy in your home folder, so something like:
/home/prithviteja99/servoy/
Cheers,
George
Hi George, I am trying to install it again, but the path is not being saved. Kindly follow the below attachments.
first i set the path
[attachment=2]first.png[/attachment]
then i click next and click yes for that prompt
[attachment=1]second.png[/attachment]
then i come back and i see that the path is not saved

Try choosing an existing folder (your home folder) and then maybe adding servoy at the end. So choose /home/username with the browse button and then add ‘/servoy’ by hand.
Nope. Didn’t work either
Wierd, try to manually create a new ‘servoy’ folder in your home folder. Then, when selecting the installation path, instead of using the browse button, simply type the path to that folder. It should be something like
‘/home/username/servoy/’ but with your actual username instead of ‘username’.
If this does not work, what error do you see?
Nope still the same error
“/servoy/developer/…/application_server/servoy.properties (Permission denied)”
also I have set the installation path as suggested but when I click next and then previous, I see the path to be still /usr/local
Solved guys. I went to the servoy.properties file and added the configuration.
Thanks everyone.
