Problem starting Servoy

Configuration:
System OSX 10.3.something on an eMac
Servoy R2 2.1 build 310

I completely uninstalled the old version of Servoy and installed the latest one.

When starting up again:

‘Cannot connect to the repository server specified in the application
preferences’

org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBSQLException: Resource Exception. I/O error
during “open” operation for file
“/Applications/Servoy/database/SERVOY.GDB”
Error while trying to open file
null
Reason: I/O error during “open” operation for file
“/Applications/Servoy/database/SERVOY.GDB”
Error while trying to open file
null

All options are greyed out except ‘preferences’ and ‘help’.

The file ‘/Applications/Servoy/database/SERVOY.GDB’ does not appear in Finder.

Help!

It looks like you are using your old servoy.properties file though.
Since Servoy 2.0 it isn’t using FireBird anymore for it’s repository.
It’s using Sybase iAnywhere. Your properties are expecting a FireBird database.
If it is indeed the FireBird database you wanted to use then you should put these databases in the “/Applications/Servoy/database/” directory.

If not. Just quit Servoy, move the servoy.properties out of the servoy folder and launch Servoy Developer again. This will create a new servoy.properties file.
Ofcourse any datasources you had setup need to be re-added.
(you could use a text editor and copy paste from the old properties file into the new one.)

Hope this helps.

Also check out if a servoy.properties file has been created in your home directory (it happened to me, some time ago): if so, remove this one also.

That was it. Thanks for the help.
