Installing Servoy 4 on windows 64bit

Classic Servoy
1

Hi

Have installed a dual boot system and running new windows 7 64 bit release. everything working fine and i like the new OS :)

thought i would use the new OS to test my application in Servoy 4 first before moving it across from 3.5.9. have installed MySQL server fine and Servoy developer ok, no problems. Servoy is installed in its own directory (as per forum) not within Program Files or Program Files (x86) that windows 7 creates.

I have created the repository_server database and connected to it, as well as database for my solution through developer. i can see the repository tables created in the repository_server db. Java installed is 32 bit and is installed to the Program Files (x86) directory.

My issue is that i cannot start Servoy Application Server service, when i try to run it i get the message:

‘java’ is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

i assume then that i somehow need to configure a server properties file to point to java files correctly, as i think it may have something to do with java being installed to the Program Files (x86) folder. I am unsure where to find this property/configuration, can somebody please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

It looks like you need to add the programfiles/java/bin folder to your PATH environment variable.
You can check if it works by doing “java -version” on the command line, it should display some info about the installed java version.

Hi Joas

Got it, thanks.

It was the path environment variable. included it and server started straight away.

I suspect that this OS 64 bit will become the mainstream release in the coming years. Can i suggest that you include some additional instructions in your installation notes for 64 bit OS systems.

So far am impressed with 4.1.2, now i’m off to fix my 230 warnings it just found for me :oops:

which java did you install?
If you install a jre it should also install java.exe and javaw.exe in you \windows\system32 dir. (and/or Windows\SysWOW64\ i guess for the 32 bits binaries)

This post saved me alot of agrevation. Install java servoy and solution on a vista lapop, the java files were intalled on the progam files (x86) directoy. Got the same error when trying to start server. Entered the java bin path the the enviorment variables and viola!!

Thanks!!
