Moving a Servoy installation to another volume

I have a solution running on a Mac OS X Xserve, and want to put it on a raid volume rather than the startup disk. My problem is that Sybase will not start up unless the Servoy directory is in /Applications/. I have tried putting a Servoy symlink in the /Applications/ folder, but this doesn’t work either. What is the trick to moving Servoy directories around. The installation was not done with ‘install service’ selected, therefore I think there is an environment path or something that needs to be set.

I’d be grateful for any guidance on this.

Thanks

Hi Bevil,

DId you check the paths in the plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and/or the shell script in the application_server directory ?

Hi Robert

I do not auto start Servoy, but rather start developer, quit it, then start server… I’ve never been able to successfully get Servoy to auto start automatically on a Mac so have got into the habit of starting developer, then quitting and starting server… I know…

Hi Bevil,

Your problem probably lies with Developer then. Developer (well Eclipse actually) stores the path HARD in some ini files. Renaming and/or moving Developer will result in some path issues.
I suggest you create another shell script that does that the launcher param does in the servoy.properties file (see Developer prefs) and adjust the path there accordingly. And then use that shell script.
