jweaver:
You probably only moved dbeng9.exe and/or dbsrv9.exe?
No, I did move both. They both have the version 9.0.2.2451
jweaver:
If so, you also need to move the following:
dbctrs9.dll
dbinit.exe
dbjodbc9.dll
dblgen9.dll
dblib9.dll
dbserv9.dll
dbstop.exe
dbtool9.dll
dbunic9.dll
So I copied these files and …
Servoy launched with no errors and I see the servoy_repository icon in the system tray.
I opened preferences and pulled up the DB Servers and we have success. I created a new dbserver to my contact_mgmt.db database.
I restart servoy and created a new solution with the contact_mgmt.db server.
Man that was a long journey just to install a program. I have not jumped through so many hoops in a long time for installation.
I think servoy needs to simplify its installation. I think this could be done by just having the servoy installer install a current matching copy of Sybase Central. This would solve all this version mismatching. A new user can get very discouraged and some may think this is not a professional product.
So that someone else does not have to go through this. I will list out the steps to install a working servoy developer with the matching Sybase Central.
Install Instructions
- Download the servoy demo on servoy’s web site. Download linkhttp://developer.servoy.com/generic.jsp?taxonomy_id=251
- Download the SQL Anywhere Studio 9 Developer Edition on iAnywhere’s web site. Download link http://www.ianywhere.com/downloads/sqlany.html
- Install the servoy
- Install SQL Anywhere Studio 9 Developer Edition. Important Note You must do the full install. Don’t selectively install the Sybase Central software, even though that is all you will use.
- Once all installs are finished, we need to copy over some files. Go to folder \Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 9\win32\ and copy the following files:
dbeng9.exe
dbsrv9.exe
dbctrs9.dll
dbinit.exe
dbjodbc9.dll
dblgen9.dll
dblib9.dll
dbserv9.dll
dbstop.exe
dbtool9.dll
dbunic9.dll
to the /Program Files/Servoy/sybase_db/ folder
- Once they are copied then you can follow the normal instruction in the read me files of servoy to create databases with no errors.
Note this is instructed for windows
I HOPE THIS WILL HELP A LOT OF NEW COMERS LIKE ME.
If any experts in Servoy see any mistakes, please correct me.
Also thank you Jweaver for sticking with me. I would have never made it without you.
