In order to be able to start, the Servoy Application Server requires a connection to the Servoy Repository. When using existing databases, a valid connection to a properly configured Servoy Repository is required for the Servoy Application Server to be able to start.

Using the bundled PostgreSQL engine i.c.w. existing databases

When the installation of the PostgreSQL database engine is required, keep the Database option in the All-In-One installer checked.

...

• Start the database (for information on starting the database, look here )
• Connect to the database using the commandline psql utility and drop the unwanted databases:

  Code Block
  title Connecting
  {servoy_install}/application_server/postgres_db/bin/psql postgres DBA

• Code Block
  title Dropping the sample databases
  drop database if exists user_data; drop database if exists example; drop database if exists log_data; drop database if exists udm; drop database if exists pdf_forms; drop database if exists bug_db;

• Restore a dump of the existing databases. For information on how to backup and restore databases, see the PostgreSQL documentation here.

Not using the bundled PostgreSQL database engine

When not using the PostgreSQL database engine, the option can be unchecked in the installer. This will skip the installation of the PostgreSQL database engine, the repository database and the sample databases.

...

• Copy a servoy.properties file from another installation (for example a Servoy Developer installation) into the <servoy>/application_server directory
• If the copied servoy.properties file doesn't already contain properly configured database connections, see Manual configuration in the Database Connections for chapter for more information on how to manually edit the servoy.properties file.

Depending on the type of databases used, JDBC drivers might need to be added. See See JDBC Drivers in the Database Connections  for  chapter for more information.
