Running 2nd instance of Server on Mac with different name

Classic Servoy
1

Mac OSX 10.5 on Macbook Pro
Servoy 3.5.5
MySQL 5

I have two instances of Developer, which point to different repositories, and both work fine. (servoy.app and servoy_fw.app)

I would now like to run the Server for the instance that has been renamed so I can test from a client. (the servoy_fw.app instance)

I made a copy of servoy_server.sh (servoy_server_fw.sh), but I do not know how to modify it to use the other instance.

Help!

TIA.

You are better off (management is easier) to run from to different directories.
In that case you don’t have to do the renaming stuff and you can run different servers as well (think about different ports than).

Example, for testing I have 4 installs and I made port numbers that resemble the Servoy version e.g. 8022, 8031, 8035 etc.

Hope this helps

I’m on a Mac, so…

Can I just copy the entire Servoy directory to a new directory and then run it from there, or do I need to do a new install from the installation jar?

Sounds like I could just copy the whole directory, then fire it up and change the port through the server admin webpage?? (obviously making sure my dbservers are configured correctly)

Is that it?

Thanks for the quick responses.

Not entirely, you also have to make sure that you point to the correct repository etc.

I have it all databases stored in the documents folder and point the sybase config script to that folder so that all instances fire up all databases.

I then clear up the database folder of every instance (not really necessary but I like to keep it clean).

But basically copy/paste should do it.
