Installing Servoy on Windows Server 2008

Hi

As in the Wiki docu, i. e. here

http://wiki.servoy.com/pages/releasevie … Id=4559809

Windows Server 2008 is not listed as supported OS, so I am wondering whether it is possible to make a running installation with the current servoy_installer.exe, as I am going to a customer this week to do (or try) just that.
I am going to use the Windows specific installer (as I assume it’s better suited, is it?).
Does it work? Do I have to expect problems?

Thanks for hints, regards,

successful installed this a couple of weeks ago.

only thing that you might run into is the privilege you need to run the Servoy service.
I installed with admin-privileges, but nevertheless: the service didn’t run correctly.
I just couldn’t import a solution.

solution: run the service with a user/pwd entered ( = properties of the windows service)

No, just make sure you have this third line in your wrapper.conf: wrapper.java.additional.3=-Djava.io.tmpdir=

# Java Additional Parameters
wrapper.java.additional.1=-Djava.awt.headless=true
wrapper.java.additional.2=-Duser.dir="E:\Servoy\dm_live\application_server"
wrapper.java.additional.3=-Djava.io.tmpdir="E:\Servoy\dm_live\application_server\server\work"
wrapper.java.additional.4=-XX:MaxPermSize=128m

Than you dont have to run it under admin, but just a system user…
This is fixed a few weeks ago, and will end up in the installer of a new version, not sure it is in 5.2.6, but will be in 5.2.7!

Hi Harjo

Could you tell me where the wrapper.java file on the Windows file system located is?

Thanks, Robert

it’s the wrapper.conf file in the application_server\service folder

Thanks Marc, ahh the service folder only exists on Windows.
