Problems running demo on Redhat Linux

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

I’ve succesfulled installed servoy on Redhat Linux 7.3, with the java sdk 1.4.2.

However, when I attempt to run the servoy_developer.jar I get the following message:

‘Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: servoy_developer/jar’

I’m sure I’m doing something stupid but could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

are you starting servoy developer using:

java -jar servoy_developer.jar
``` ?

Ok got it working - I needed to run the following commands

cd /usr/local/servoy
java -jar servoy_developer.jar

Another problem…

I’m trying to set up Servoy using MySQL for the backend.

Following the docs:-

  • Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences.
  • Select the DB Servers tab.
  • Click on Auto Setup Server.
  • Select the correct server type. The server name field should (automatically) contain repository_server.

In my case the server name field is blank. If I edit the repository_server instead of using Auto Setup, it won’t let me select my mySQL server, complaining that the server must support transactions…

Thanks in advance.

Oops… should have done a search first.

The solution is to update the mysql jdbc driver to the latest version.

This got rid of the ‘transaction’ error.
