revServer (again)

2011-11-25 Thread Malte Brill
Hi folks, after trying to install revServer on an UBUNTU server yesterday (it worked flawlessly in my virtual machine of course) I am running into a new problem. It seems that the Database external does not bind. The XML external does work on the physical machine, however, the database

Hi Malte, One way to check whether the XML external has loaded would be put the externalCommands of stack Home contains revAddXMLNode I am not sure that the server has a stack Home but you should be able to use the externalCommands. If it works in Ubunty in a VM, it should also work on an

since the xml works and the database stuff doesn't, sounds like everything is in the right location but there might be a permissions problem. If the externalcommands doesn't show the db stuff, list the files in the externals folder (which should be in the same folder as livecode-server) ls -la to

Hi, My externals folder contains another folder with database drivers. I suppose this means that the server folder would contain externals plus one folder. Therefore, you might want to do sudo chmod -R 755 * to make it recursive. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting

I'm not 100% sure, but when using invalid syntax with external functions, you get the same error as when using them when no externals are loaded (for standalones at least). so just issuing revOpenDatabase() with invalid params like that, you won't actually find out anything at all. So the

Re: revServer (again)

It was revopendatabases() (plural) that was being used to test I think, which doesn't take params. Of course now that I think about it, is the server external identical to the desktop? If not, maybe revopendatabases() is broke? I need to get things fired up again and try it. 2011/11/25 Björnke

Warren, Although UUENCODE and BASE64 are not the same, there is some similarity and newer versions of UUENCODE have the ability to output to BASE64. If you have any control of the image production process, you might be able to output them in BASE64, then you can use the base64Decode command

John, Thanks for the explanation. I was just if there were similarities between UUENCODE and BASE64. Unfortunately these are UUENCODE files. I think I found a open source that will take care of the UUENCODE and even yENC which I will require as well. Am testing it now. All the best! Warren

Hi all, thanks for the thoughts! Björnke, I used put revOpenDatabases(), which ought to work without parameters. Also the same code I have been transferring to the physical UBUNTU machine works flawlessly in a VM under the same distro of UBUNTU server, under UBUNTU Desktop, Mac OS X and Win.

Oops, the text file reference was a brain fart that was crossing desktop externals with server. DOH. No text files with server. As for apt-get, i'm wondering how hard it would be to create your own .deb package. (for personal use of course to ease future re-installs) read some stuff at
