Thanks to all for the warm welcome to the community and help getting started. I now have a working BASE installation on Mac OS X 10.5 server with Tomcat 6.0.18 and Java 1.6, both as supplied by Apple as standard.
Could I ask another question please? Does anyone have a recipe or hints for setting up the extensions for a custom Affy chip (single-channel)?

FWIW, Apple recently released the Java 10.5 Update 2 (updates java to 1.6.0_07), so if you haven't already, give that a spin. I'd be most interested in the results, as we are planning to updating BASE, too :-) >> Further/up-to-date instructions (changing data root, creating the >> db's >> etc) should be provided by the output of the "port install" commands. >> N.B.

As I think I mentionend, 10.5 sever includes tomcat 6, so we should be OK there, as 10.5/intel/64bit is a requirement for Java 6 anyway. thx, /Emil ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ The BASE general discussion mailing list basedb-users@lists.sourceforge.net unsubscribe: send a mail with subject "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
