I have v4 developer. I’m running it with mysql on my windows machine. what I’d like to do is be able to come downstairs - let the wife sleep - run servoy developer and use the repository on my windows machine. I can log into mysql with mysql admin tools so I know I can connect. when I fire up servoy on my mac the repository has red X on it.
Anyone have an idea what is going on here? Anyone done this?
Hi Keith,
I do the same but all on 1 machine when I use VMWare Fusion. All those guest OS’s (Windows/Linux/xBSD) connect to my PostgreSQL server on the host OS (Mac OS X) which holds my repositories (multiple versions) and all my data(bases).
As for your connection issue I would first look at what your connection URL is defined in Servoy (downstairs of course).
Does it really point to the machine upstairs ? You use an IP or machine name ? Try switching between those.
Hope this helps.
After I posted I found the new version of Microsoft’s remote connect which works great. I assigned a static IP to the machine upstairs. I’ll try it with the computer name and see what happens.
So in theory I should be able to pull everything from the remote computer. I don’t need to do anything locally like setting anything up in the server admin right. If I can get servoy to read my repository db I should be good?
I’ll keep at it.
Thanks
In theory and in daily practice you are correct but…
Never forget to really check a project out and perform commits and updates, otherwise you will end up with a mess…
