Hi All,

Suddenly servoy cannot connect to the repository server on mac probably the problem is in sybase ,also when i install another fresh version of servoy on the mac it makes the same scenario [it does not connect to repository server], i would really appreciate all the help to retrieve my solutions done on this repository since they are very important to my work .

Regards

Saher

saher,

This seems to be the issue when running sybase:

```auto
E. 06/24 01:56:56. Cannot open transaction log file -- Can't use log file "pdf_forms.log" since it is shorter than expected
I. 06/24 01:56:56. Database server shutdown due to startup error

```

What happens if you start sybase using the command-line?

```auto
cd /path/to/Servoy/application_server
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=sybase_db sybase_db/dbsrv10 @sybase_db/sybase.config

```

You can also try to start sybase without the pdf\_forms database, just remove the line with ‘database/pdf\_forms.db’ from /path/to/Servoy/application\_server/sybase\_db/sybase.config and try starting again.

Hope this helps,

Rob
