I installed Servoy R2 1.1 and did not install the firebird database (i dont want a repository on my local machine, i want to use SQL Server 2000)
Upon launch, the new version available windows displays, but I can see the HTML, it does not look like it is rendering in that window. I choose download/install to upgrade to 2.0.3. I also get an error stating that Servoy can’t setup the repository, but that’s to be expected- since as of now there is no repository.
I download MS SQL Server 2000 JDBC Driver from Microsoft’s website:
(I have not attempted to do anything else with this driver but download it for future use)
Download of new version of Servoy completes and I am instructed to restart servoy, and I do.
When servoy starts again, I get the servoy splash screen, but it never goes away- I’m stuck.
I use servoy_developer.bat to launch and this is the errors i get:

apparently it is freezing because it can not find servoy.properties and it can’t setup the repository, but this is just what i can gather from the error. shouldn’t it create the properties file upon install? Also shouldn’t it move on if it can’t setup the repository, to give me the opportunity to do it?
I had Servoy installed and working before, and I encountered an error trying to setup datasources with MSSQL. I tried to remove the dbservers and restart servoy- but each time the data servers were still there after restart. Re-installing servoy showed that after install, the db servers were STILL there! so i uninstalled again and removed all temp files and all files left behind from servoy (including the servoy.properties file). That took me up to the point of my previous post..
so now i have pulled my servoy.properties file from the trash, opened it and manually removed the dbservers in it. I also edited the following line from:
ServerManager.numberOfServers=2
to:
ServerManager.numberOfServers=0
Now when I start Servoy, it still hangs but this is the new error.

I don’t see any strange errors. If you want to use MS SQL as you repository server all you need to do is configure it as your repository server. There’s a detailed article on doing that in Servoy Magazine: http://www.servoymagazine.com/modules.p … a9ba0aa779
Make sure to first install Microsoft JDBC driver in the drivers folder before proceding.
i appreciate your response, however I have followed that article to the letter, the problem now is that I cannot even START servoy- the application hangs on startup and the servoy splash screen never goes away.
To Recap:
I had followed that article and setup a MS SQL datasource. I was having some sort of permissions problem, it kept saying ‘No trusted connection’ or some such error. I attempted to remove all my db servers (i only had the 6 that were setup from that article. Whenever I removed the db servers, I would go back into preferences and the DB servers were still there, only after a re-install (without installing Firebird) and manually editing my .properties file to remove the DB Servers got rid of them.
Only now it hangs on startup, with the last error stating that it can not find the repository. I want to try again to setup the repository, but I can’t even start the application to do it.
ok- i have totally un-installed, and re-installed again.. this time i chose to install the firebird database for the repository (against my better judgements, everything I’ve seen so far tells me I should not have to). And directly after I update servoy to R2 1.2- I cannot start the application. It hangs on startup with the error I have below. I’m evaluating this software for a 100 user site- if this isn’t resolved today, I’m suggesting we move somewhere else for our database client needs, since this software seems very problematic..
I know servoy employees are watching the threads, if you care about keeping loyal customers, please give me some help- at least tell me where to look.

Come on, give the guys a break. They do there best, to react as quick as possible, believe me! There response-time is much quicker than from any other forum
I think your problem is not related to Servoy itself, but between Servoy and the connection to MS SQL.
Question: Why are you using/trying 1.1 and than update to 1.2??
Please uninstall everything, dowload the 2.0 release from http://developer.servoy.com
Install 2.0 and let Sybase (first time) be the repository.
Work from there, and see if everything is working. Try the CRM-demo and look if everything is working, okM-i
Than try to setup the repository to MS SQL, as described above.
I gave them a break when I first had the problem on June 11, then on June 14 when I had to post again to get someone to reply finally on the 15th. You tell my boss to give them a break- software we’ve paid for has been non-functional for a week now. My position is in IT management where I am held responsible for my decisions. I made the decision to use Servoy, and now I am paying the price since my bosses are questioning my judgement and ability to get problems solved.
I think your problem is not related to Servoy itself, but between Servoy and the connection to MS SQL.
now give ME a break.. read the thread- i’ve said at least twice that the problem is not anything to do with MS SQL as I have nothing but a clean install right now, the problem is after I run updates- the program stops working.
Question: Why are you using/trying 1.1 and than update to 1.2??
Maybe because that was the installer I was given when I purchased the product, and nobody has sent me anything telling me that I need a new copy. I am assuming since there is an auto-update feature built into the product that I would not have to jump through hoops worrying about which version of the installer I have. MY question is: Why doesn’t the auto-update tell me to update to 2.0 rather than 1.2???
I really hate to have such a negative attitude, but when I pay for software- I expect it to work and work right. Obviously I have been asking for help for a while, and everyone keeps mis-understanding my problem when I have clearly posted my error. I would have used phone support, but on servoy.com → Support, there is no phone number.

Because 1.1 en 1.2 where releases.
2.0 is a complete new release, (like going from windows 2000 to XP), if you have purchased your copy recently, you may upgrade for free.
I would have used phone support, but on servoy.com → Support, there is no phone number.
If you are a SAN-member, there options to use telephone support.
Don’t give up. there is always sunshine after rain!
Try to install it on a complete different computer.
Try to narrow it down, to a reproducable case. ( if that is possible)
Hope this helps
ok i completely removed my JRE and installed the SDK. Now servoy works and I’m cooled off.
i purchased Servoy Developer, no clients yet. I would love to try my code to see if it works, but what caused all of this was a drive failure which forced me to re-install apps. I did copy over my servoy.properties file before my old HD finally went- but upgrading to Servoy 2 overwrote that file and now I don’t even have my code anymore. Anyone know where I can request it again?

OkM-i the smoke is dissapearing Great that it works now!
the servoy-property file holds only you software and connection settings, etc.. not your solution. So you are saying you lost all of your programming? The solution are in the repository DB itself. So if you have that one, you could try to restore that one.
i didn’t lose my programming- i lost my license code. When I was still able to access my old HD, i pulled over the servoy.properties file, and in it was my license code. Upon re-installing and installing 2.0, my .properties file was deleted/re-written, so now I need to get my license code again, since I can no longer read my old HD and servoy is in trial mode.
yes i did receive it via email, but it was a while ago so it was in my archived email. I could not retrieve my archive email, only the current- so I lost that as well.
HJK:
Did’nt you get the licence-code by email?
Contact Jan Aleman about this: jaleman@servoy.com
He can help you out!
Even better is to contact sales@servoy.com, I’m on the road quite often so you might get disappointed if you need your code quickly and I happen to be offline.
Great that it works now!
