I run Servoy Server 4 on MacOSX but I would like to test my solution on windows. I run Windows XP through Paralles 4. But if I try to connect with localhost:8080 it doesn’t work.
So the question is: is it actually possible?
Hi Irene,
irenem:
I run Servoy Server 4 on MacOSX but I would like to test my solution on windows. I run Windows XP through Paralles 4. But if I try to connect with localhost:8080 it doesn’t work.So the question is: is it actually possible?
Yes it’s possible. But the VM (Parallels) is truly a virtual computer so localhost will direct to 127.0.0.1 on XP, not on the Mac OS X host.
Just point to the IP of the Mac OS X host and you will be fine. I use this same setup (with VMware Fusion) for almost a year without problems.
Hope this helps.
Great! Now I can reach the launcher, Thanks.
But when I want to open the file he doesn’t recognize the application, and when I choose ‘Java 
Platform SE Binary’ it shows an error.
Which Java-version do you have installed on Windows?
Hi Joas,
Version 6 Update 10. It seems to be the last update.
That should be allright. What kind of error do you see?
The error message says: “Invalid or corrupt Jar file C:…servoy_client.jar”
any idea what does it mean? The server version I run on mac is 4.1.5.
What happens when you uninstall and re-install Java?
I have uninstalled java, but when I try to reinstall it it says that java is already installed and asks if I want to reinstall it. When I say yes I get another alert saying that this action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
I try to uninstall java with the “add and remove programs” control panel and the “Windows Install clean up” nothing helps.
My knowledge of windows stops here.
Do you have the correct administrative rights to do this?
I am the administrator. No other users are present.
But now is the question how do I reinstall java.
Something is seriously messed up there. You can spend some hours to find out what is wrong, but since it is only a virtual machine I would just reinstall windows. That only takes about half an hour.
Now I know a little more. After trying with FireFox it seems to miss himself.
“couldn’t find main class C:\document~\admini~\locals~Temp\servoy-client.jnlp.” But I looked, he is there!
Anyway, tonight I will try to reinstall windows, but it is strange, I just installed it yesterday.
I finally reinstalled windows. And indeed I don’t receive any error messages, but it doesn’t do anything eater.
When he asks how I want open the file an I point out Java, I can see something popping up for a fraction of a second and than nothing else. I also checked the Java Control Panel but I can’t see any applications in it. Should I maybe configure Java in a particular way?
I found a log:

Any idea what does it mean and why?
what happens if you set the in the Java Preferences the Network setting to: Direct Connection?
No, it uses the browser settings. If I set it to direct connection it behaves the same but the log is differtent.
