Installing Servoy on Linux with FireBird

Classic Servoy
1

I have FireBird (release version) installed like I was supposed to.

I then installed Servoy (rc5) exactly like I should once systemwide and, after lack of success, as a user in my homedir.

I then opened up ports 8080 and 1099 in the firewall on the same machine and entered ‘127.0.0.1’ into the field for the firewall IP address.

With both installs I noticed that:

  1. HttpService didn’t run…

  2. On opening the developer I got the following message from the terminal (and off course an error message in Servoy itself):

Looking for servoy.properties on /home/marcel/servoy.properties
Loading servoy.properties from /home/marcel/servoy/servoy.properties - Done
DBCP borrowObject failed: org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBSQLException: Resource Exception. Unable to complete network request to host “localhost”.
Reason: Unable to complete network request to host “localhost”.
lineNumber: 0 org.apache.commons.dbcp.DbcpException: org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBSQLE… etc.

I think it is the firebird driver. I noticed a .zip package for it but didn’t dare to unpack it since I don’t know how.

What can be wrong here. I use SuSe 8.2 .

Hope somebody can help me here.

Thanks,

Marcel

The error indicates that Firebird is not running. Verify that firebird is running before you start Servoy.
