Install Servoy Server in a GoDaddy Server

Hi good evening from Gran Canaria.

I want to run servoy in a GoDaddy server. I have installed Servoy (developer and server) and when I run the developer postgre is no running, I think, because I can nos access any of the database that comes with servoy.

I have tried to run the .bat file that launches the servoy server and it does not run, no error nor message so I think that the problem is that postgre is not being executed.

It´s a Win2008 Server R2 64 bits.

Any clue about this?

Thanks in advance.

first is postgresql installed correctly?
there are some installation problems on 2008 that has been resolved in 5.2.6 (and more fixes in the coming 5.2.7)
does your postgresql dir have files?

I have installed version 5.2.6.

Servoy\application_server\postgre_db folder has \bin \lib and \share folder plus postgre.log file
Servoy\application_server\database is empty

I got it up and running. Seemed to be an NTFS security issue.

Now I badly need to start the server as a service. I know that installing the Server Service in the installer I have 50% of the job, but could nayone tell me how to run postgre as a service. Or it is done with a parameter in any configuration file of servoy?

Thanks.

Hi Juan,

I suggest you use the EnterpriseDB supported installer of PostgreSQL. This will install and setup PostgreSQL as a service for you.
As an added bonus with every (security) update there is for PostgreSQL you just have to download the new installer, run it and 1 minute later you are up and running with an updated database server.

Download the 9.0 branch (they offer the 8.4.x and 8.3.x branch too as installers)
And make sure you then download the latest JDBC driver too since the Servoy bundled driver has issues then with image media inside PostgreSQL.
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html (jdbc3 driver is sufficient).
Do remove the old driver out of the drivers directory though, having multiple drivers of the same vendor in there will give you unexpected results.

Hope this helps.

from 5.2.3 on, Servoy is shipping with the latest (801) driver.

Excellent :)
