-X install on a remote RedHat

Classic Servoy
1

connected through ssh -X running the install command:
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java -jar servoy_installer.jar
i get these errors:

Exception in thread “main” java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.(ZipFile.java:112)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.(JarFile.java:127)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.(JarFile.java:65)

ZIP!? :shock:

Any idea what am i doing wrong?

Thanks

anyone?

I made another attempt on a Fedora core5 installed locally on my Mac PowerBook G4. Unfortunately the Servoy graphical installer seems to freeze right after i select the destination folder and click “Next”.

Is it really that hard to install Servoy on a linux box?

I’m not a linux expert but I’ve done it at least 20 times succesfully and both your errors don’t ring a bell. If I forward X connections to my box it just works. Note that X is setup in such a way that if your forwarding works there is no difference as in working on a local machine. If you have issues with how X works remotely just create an install.xml an install command line, very fast and easy, see docs for details.

Hi Jan, i am not a linux expert either.

I tried with a servoy_install.xml, here is the response:

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java -jar servoy_installer.jar servoy_install.xml
[ Starting automated installation ]
[ Starting to unpack ]
[ Processing package: Program Files (1/10) ]

/usr/home/admin1007539/Servoy/lib/images ]

[ Automated installation done ]

Nothing is installed.

Sounds like you don’t have privileges to create that directory?

but i do have privileges.
I even tried chmoding 0777 the jar installer end the xml files.

Strange. Try this, create a directory in /tmp, eg /tmp/servoy

then edit install.xml to install there.

ok,
it came out (caugh…caugh…) java was not the sun distribution;
it came out (caugh…caugh…) X11 was not enabled (in fact there were some libraries only);
it came out (caugh…caugh…) the RedHat was not a RedHat either (in fact it’s a Centos 3.4);
it came out… wait a moment! that’s enaugh, no? :oops:

So, Servoy server now is fairly installed… and running!

Any moral? Sure, but i’m going to stay silent, here :roll:

Thanks
