I have been using developer for quite some time. When I closed it on Friday all was well, but when I went to open it this week it wouldn’t open. The logo screen comes up, ‘Application server init’ shows at the bottom of the screen, and the progress bar just bounces back and forth endlessly… No error messages, but nothing happens. Nothing changed over the weekend, so I don’t understand what could have happened. I installed JRE 1.5 today to make sure that wasn’t the problem, but no change. I don’t know what to do. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Is another server (using the same name) running on the network?
This is one that happened to me. Had a developer running on my mac.
Trying to launch a developer on the pc failed because the repository would not initialize. Drove me nuts for a few hours. Nothing had changed on the pc… Finally I disconnected the pc from the network & servoy developer launched without a problem. So be sure the sybase service is running.
Hi Odysseus, thanks very much for your help. Unfortunately I still can’t make it work.
The backend database is MySQL, and I can open it fine. I’m assuming it isn’t the problem because I can’t even open the developer to show the CRM demo.
There is another server on the network, being the server version of the solution I am developing locally. But they have been happily co-existing for ages, and in any case currently I am not connected to the network, and it still won’t open. Very frustrating.
Have you checked the sybase_log file in the …/Servoy/sybase_db folder?
The last few lines will point to startup problem. If a database is in your sybase.config file (same folder) but has been moved, renamed etc this will cause startup to stall.
Thanks for your suggestion - I had checked the sybase_log file, and there was no indication of a problem there.
Towards the end of last week I discovered that the problem with Servoy was actually the first symptom of a much wider problem on my computer. I’ve been off-line for a few days checking for viruses, etc., and finally with the help of a BIOS update my computer is now back to normal. And Servoy opens! But now it can’t find the repository… I should probably seek advice for this problem in a new topic here.
Thanks again Odysseus and Graham for all your help.
