I have to install Servoy Server on a remote Debian machine. I have ssh access to that machine so I can use the terminal etc… The remote machine has JDK 1.4 installed but not X11. Locally I have access to a MacOS X machine or a Windows machine. How can I install on Debian? ---

You have to install locally on a debian(linux) machine with GUI using the installer. Than copy the whole map of Servoy to your remote server. (See also the server manuall) ---

But I don’t have a Linux box locally! Is there any way to run setup without user interface? ---

No, I don’t think so! ---

There isn’t at the moment. We hope to have a headless installer in the future but we do not have one at the moment. If you do not need sybase you can do a install on mac os x, remove the sybase\_db directory, configure your db connections and copy the whole directory to the target linux box. If you do need to run sybase please contact [support@servoy.com](mailto:support@servoy.com) for a solution. ---

The database is not yet started. On linux you have to start it before you start servoy server. Instructions are in the server manual. ---

Sorry but in the manual I found only this: > For the information needed to create, start, and stop a database service on Linux/Unix, check > the documentation for your operating system or refer to the man pages for your specific > vendor. Could you give me some tips? ---

It looks like I was reading a newer (not yet released) version of the server doc. I can’t find it in the current docs either. Here’s how to start sybase on linux/unix systems if you run servoy server (and not developer) ```auto export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/Servoy/sybase_db export PATH=$PATH:PATHTOSERVOY/sybase_db cd PATHTOSERVOY/ sybase_db/dbsrv9 @sybase_db/sybase.config ``` then start server make sure to replace PATHTOSERVOY/ with the path where servoy is installed. ---

What is LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH=/Applications/Servoy/sybase\_db? What is /Applications? I’m on Linux not on Mac… ---

sorry, it should be the path to the servoy/sybase\_db directory ---

I installed the server on OSX and just moved the servoy file to my redhat enterprise 3 server colo’d. i get the same error as above when i try and start ./servoy\_server.sh so i try and start dbserv9 and get this. [root@localhost sybase\_db]# file dbsrv9 dbsrv9: Mach-O executable powerPC so does this mean i have to have another linux box set up with enterprise 3 on it. then i install servoy on to that box, then i can move over my databases and the servoy file to my box downtown? when my servoy server is downtown on my box what happens if i need to make some quick changes to the layout or add a field or something? do i have to shut down the server, pull my servoy folder back to my machine locally, then start up developer, then move the folder back to the server downtown and then start up the server again? please help i am going nuts. ---

When servoy server is running on your machine “downtown”, you can connect to it using [http://downtown\_machines\_ip:8080/servoy-admin/](http://downtown_machines_ip:8080/servoy-admin/) In the administration pages you can practicly do anything you need except create new dbconnections. So a quick change to a layout or modification to a backend db ( as long as the connection is already defined) is very simple. Regarding your other problems I can only say that we are running a SUSE 9.1 machine remotely that we can control through VNC. I guess this is no option for you ? We use it to create new dbconnections in the Servoy Developper installed on the remote machine and to install the updates. HTH
