I've had some trouble on a fairly long-time install of Servoy 5.2 on a Linux server. I last had to play with this about a year and a half ago. My memory of that is a little fuzzy, the usual Admin guy who helps me with this isn't here right now and I'm just not sure I'm doing this right.
Basically I decided to do an upgrade as I was seeing some problems since we moved repositories. In fact the IT people here simply did a fresh install of my existing repository and put it on a different box. I repointed at the new Oracle repository_server and things 'seemed' ok. But I then noticed a couple of problems and so thought I'd update to the latest 5.2 release. There were more problems after that in not being able to launch smart client at all (web client would) but with all this I thought I should start over as there might have been some issues when they copied the repository. So I shut the servoy server down, dropped all the tables in the servoy_repository and then relaunched servoy server using this command:
sudo -u servoy nohup ./servoy_server.sh -upgradeRepository &
I have to sudo on this because of permissions and I have used everything else in the command numerous times over the last year without problems. But I haven't ever used the -upgradeRepository flag on this box and with the various other commands. I didn't get any errors but so far (an hour or so later) I don't see any servoy activity (ps -eaf | grep servoy) nor are any new tables created in the servoy_repository nor of course are the servoy-admin pages up. Do I have that command right? (It is run of course from the application_server directory)
Help greatly appreciated (by me and my users!)
