Hi all,

I noticed that the “servoy.FileServerService.defaultFolder” is $ServoyInstallationDirectory/uploads/ instead of  
$ServoyInstallationDirectory/server/webapps/ROOT/uploads/.

I think the information must be updated on the server, because it shows “$ServoyInstallationDirectory/server/webapps/ROOT/uploads/”  
when clicking the info button.

Thank you

Hi Othmane,

Could you tell me in which case does the servoy.FileServerService.defaultFolder defaults to “$ServoyInstallationDirectory/uploads/”?  
Did you try updating to Servoy 5.2.5, because I believe that the path should be “$ServoyInstallationDirectory/server/webapps/ROOT/uploads/” as stated in the doc and the info button alert.

Hi Patrick,

It’s after installing servoy 6 alpha version under windows 7.

Hum…

just tried with Servoy 6 alpha 2 on Windows 7 without specifying anything and the uploads folder was created in application\_server/server/webapps/ROOT/  
Did you launch from a service perhaps? Or did you install Servoy in C:/Program Files/?  
On windows 7, there are security restrictions for that location, so you better install it in a user accessible place.

Hi Patrick,

I’ve installed it in c:/servoy\_6 witch was created when installing Servoy.  
After that, i noticed that uploads folder was created in “c:/servoy\_6/server\_application/”.

Othmane,

This seems to be a bug in the latest v6a2 version only, i will correct the default for next release.
