Hi All I have updated our Mac OS X Server 10.6.2 to 10.6.3. As a result, the Servoy Application Server doesn’t startup any more ![:-(]( "Sad") Anyone has updated to Server version 10.6.3 and found the same problem? Any help appreciated, Robert ---

I have Servoy 5 running with OS X 10.6.3. It remember what you describe while upgrading from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 but not with the latest update. If I remember well I simply re-installed Servoy. ---

Thanks Marcel, I found I can start the App Server manually, but not automatically at the server startup. Quite strange. I also found that Safari crashes when connecting to the Servoy App Server, hmmmm Bes regards, Robert > IT2Be: > I have Servoy 5 running with OS X 10.6.3. > > It remember what you describe while upgrading from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 but not with the latest update. > If I remember well I simply re-installed Servoy. ---

Hi Robert, I upgraded to 10.6.3 and have no real issues. Perhaps you need to fix your permissions (see Disk Utility). As for Safari crashing, this can have many causes. One of which can be a corrupt preference file. Just by deleting it should do the trick. But I would start with fixing the permissions. Hope this helps. ---

Hi Robert I already did all you mentioned, with no luck. I do get this 2 messages in the servoy\_log.txt file: 2010-04-08 09:13:39,699 ERROR [main] com.servoy.j2db.util.Debug - Cannot start repository: com.servoy.j2db.persistence.RepositoryException: Error checking repository 2010-04-08 09:13:39,700 ERROR [main] com.servoy.j2db.util.Debug - Do note Servoy server does not start any database! I don’t know how the second msg is meant, but the database server process gets started, i. e. dbsrv11 is running, as well as our postgres database servers (although this has nothing to do with Servoy) Anyone an idea what this means and how I can get everything started again.

Hi Robert, Perhaps Sybase gets launched after Servoy Server ? Can you check the system log to see when what is launched when you boot up. ---

Hi Robert It looks to me as it is the correct order of startups.

My 2 scripts in the /Library/StartupItems/Servoy folder look like this: File Servoy: ```auto #!/bin/sh ## # Servoy Application Server ## . /etc/rc.common StartService () { ConsoleMessage "Starting Servoy Application Server..." cd /Applications/Servoy/application_server/ . /Applications/Servoy/application_server/servoy_server.sh & } StopService() { ConsoleMessage "In the future Stop Servoy Application Server here" } RestartService () { ConsoleMessage "Restarting Servoy Application Server..." StopService StartService } RunService "$1" ``` File StartupParameter.plist: ```auto { Description = "Servoy Application Server"; Provides = ("Servoy"); Requires = ("Resolver"); Preference = "Late"; Messages = { start = "Starting Servoy Application Server"; stop = "Stopping Servoy Application Server"; }; } ``` As this is the old way and the recommended way is using launch daemons, I am always a bit unsure if that is the cause. What do you think? Regards, Robert > ROCLASI: > Hi Robert, > > Perhaps Sybase gets launched after Servoy Server ? Can you check the system log to see when what is launched when you boot up. ---

Hi Robert, The startup items should still work (it does for me on a couple of services). In your systemlog I don’t see the entry for Servoy Server. Is that before or after the Sybase log entries ? ---

Hi Robert Did permission repar, did delete Safari preference files, did even reset Safari. But when accessing the Servoy Application Server site, i. e. [http://localhost:8080/servoy-admin/](http://localhost:8080/servoy-admin/) Safari crashes. But only on this site! No idea why. All other sites I tried work without any crash, but when accessing the former mentioned site Safari crashes always. What might be wrong with the Servoy Application Server site?

Robert, Safari crashes here as well when I open Servoy Admin.

Nice! ![:(]( "Sad") I see that now as well. But only on a remote server, localhost seems to work. OmniWeb however works fine for me which uses WebKit as well. ---

Hmm…odd. Now Safari does work on a remote servoy server. Edit: well most of the time… ---

Hi Marcel I would like to have a docu which describes how to set up the launch service as a launch daemon, but can’t find it on the Servoy Wiki Documentation!? Which would give answers like where do you put this script, how is it started, …?

Hi Robert, I don’t think you will find it here or on the wiki. It is general OS X information about setting up launch daemons. You can find documentation here: [http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/ … emons.html](http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Articles/LaunchOnDemandDaemons.html) After reading ( and understanding ![:)]( "Smile") ) you can use the application Lingon to make your life a little easier.
