Classic Servoy

By remotely I mean I donM-^Rt have physical access to the server, all I have is a root access to shell though ssh. And I was unable to run jar M-^Vjar servoy_installer.jar successfully.

Thanks

There are serveral ways to accomplish this:

  1. Install it on a local linux machine, and copy the install directory.
  2. Install it on a local linux machine, save the install script, and use that to install it on the server.
  3. Run ssh with X11 forwarding (ssh -X), and you can use the graphical installer interface remotely.

Hi there,

Ok, I did install Servoy on Linux, locally, and after that I copied the installation directory to the remote server.

When IM-^Rm trying to run the servoy_server.sh IM-^Rm getting the following.

Any ideas how can I solve it.

Thank you

This is not a problem with the Servoy installation but with the X11 installation. It’s missing a library.

I don’t know what version of Linux you’re running, but a quick search on google shows you’re not the first person to experience this problem. A fix for Debian seems to be the following:

Thnank you for your prompt reply, but why is it required to run the server?

Thank you,

Java needs a subset of the X11 libraries to operate.

It needs: libICE, libSM, libX11, libXext, libXp, libXt, and libXtst.

Unfortunately there is no way around this.
