Installing Servoy on Linux in 10 seconds !!

Classic Servoy
1

A nice thought and one that would be really helpful RIGHT NOW !!

OK so I followed the instructions on the servoy blog here

http://blog.servoy.com/2010/11/03/insta … 0-seconds/

…and sure enough it does as it suggests and runs throughout the installer in the terminal and all looks fine ! BUT for some reason Servoy does not want to start. I have had a look a the processes running and it appears that neither Servoy or Postgresql are running despite the ./servoy_server.sh & from correct directory.

SO the questions are:

  1. Can anyone show me where this

postgres_db/bin/pg_ctl start -D database -l
postgres_db/postgres_log.txt

Needs to be inserted into:

#!/bin/sh                                                                           

while true
do
        java -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx1280m -Xms64m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -class\

        EXITCODE=$?
        if [ "$EXITCODE" != 99 ]; then exit $EXITCODE; fi
done
  1. Is it possible to run both Servoy 5.2 and 6 on the same machine

Really urgently need to get this running so any help from Servoy would be GREAT !!

Cheers

Gordon,

ad 1)
The postgres start command needs to go before the line with while:

#!/bin/sh                                                                           

postgres_db/bin/pg_ctl start -D database -l postgres_db/postgres_log.txt

while true
do
     ....

ad 2)
You can run any number of Servoy instances with any version on the same machine, but you will have to configure them so that they do not conflict in port usage

Hope this helps,

Hi Rob

Thanks for the prompt reply, I have slotted in the required string and its started PostgreSQL, but for some reason I am still not getting a response from Servoy. The following is a clip of the processes running on the machine if you have ideas I would be very interested !!

Not entirely sure what this means has Servoy quit ??

[2]+ Exit 1 ./servoy_server.sh

[2]+ Exit 1 ./servoy_server.sh

Yes, this means that the process has been terminated, check the servoy_log.txt and server.log to see why. Probably it’s because you don’t have the Repository tables in your database.
To create the repository tables start Servoy like this:

./servoy_server.sh -upgradeRepository

It will create the necessary tables and quit, start it again normally and it should be ok.

Hi Nicola

Thanks very much for that - never ceases to amaze me how often I miss the most blindingly obvious things - kinda hard for Servoy to run with no data even if the database is there !!

Best wishes
Gordon
