Servoy 6 App Server don't restart from servoy-admin

Classic Servoy
1

Server Information:
Servoy version 6.0.1 -build 1219
JVM Information:
java.vm.name=Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM
java.version=1.6.0_26
java.vm.info=mixed mode
java.vm.vendor=Apple Inc.
Operating System Information:
os.name=Mac OS X
os.version=10.6.8
os.arch=x86_64

When I open the servoy-admin Server Administration page and click the ‘Restart Server’ button, the server shut down and a new Process (Service) called ‘java’ is running, but not the Servoy App Server!? No connect to servoy-admin, cannot open a Smart Client.
I quit the ‘java’ Process, go to the Terminal and start the Servoy Server manually by: $ ./servoy_server.sh &. The Servoy Server is now running.
First, for a couple of seconds as a new Process ‘java’, but than the Process ‘com.servoy.j2db.server.main.ApplicationServer’ is starting and the ‘java’ Process quit or get replaced.
The Process ‘com.servoy.j2db.server.main.ApplicationServer’ is now active in the Finder as a java icon in the Dock.

Is this normal and/or new in Servoy 6?

Has this anything to do with ‘-Djava.awt.headless=false’? Johan said I shall set this in servoy_server.sh from true to false because I got pdf-output errors (http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=16989).
Ok, the pdf-output error was gone, but other issues came.

It has to do with ‘-Djava.awt.headless=false’! The setting must be ‘true’ and the Servoy Server behavior is as expected.

Thomas,

I just tried Servoy 6.0.1 with the headless flag set to false on a mac.
Restarting it from the admin page worked fine.

Maybe you made some error in the servoy_server.sh file.
Try restoring the original file and change just the false to true for the headless flag,

Hi Rob,

the Servoy 6.0.1 App Server is now starting with both -Djava.awt.headless settings to true or false, but there are two issues.
Do I set to ‘true’, the server is starting as background process what should be normal, but every smart client logging in occurs a pdf_output error.
Is the setting ‘false’, the server is running active in the Finder, but than I get no errors about pdf_output in the server log when smart clients open.

I made a case for that and Johan will modify the pdf_output plugin properties (he said).

Regards
