     Hello Ted,

     I recommend placing eXist-db in the root directory, for example in 
"C:\eXist-db".

     Best regards,

[Exist-open] Someone in this forum wanted more details about my computer.

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

I have a brand new Acer Swift 3 computer with the latest version of Windows
11 home edition installed.  I uninstalled Norton and installed PC Matic.  I
have two attachments in this e-mail.  The first shows my Java version.  I
was told it would work with eXist 6.2.  And yes, I have Java 6.2 (your
latest version) installed on my computer.  The other attachment shows the
error I received when I tried to run bin\startup.bat as an administrator.
I hope someone here can help me with all of this information.

Re: [Exist-open] I finally installed eXist....but....

[Patrick R. <pa...@re...>]

Hi Ted,

What version of eXist do you want to run first of all? Because depending 
on that version it may well be, that you need an other version of Java 
in order to run it.

Regards

Patrick

[Exist-open] When I opened eXist for the first time on my computer, I got an error.

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

Vincent Razanajao advised me to run the bin\startup.bat program through the
command line.  I tried to do this.  An error appeared.  I took a screenshot
of the error and I've included that screenshot in this e-mail.  I don't
know how to fix it.  Please assist me.

Re: [Exist-open] I finally installed eXist....but....

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

Someone told me in this forum to run the bin\startup from the command
line.  Soi I did.  I received the following message.  The message says
cannot run program.c:ProgramFiles\Java\jdk-11\bin\javaw.exe in directory
c:Users\TedHickox\Documents\eXist create process error = 206 The filename
or extension is too long.  The stackflow article that someone in this group
sent to me discusses Java classes and Java objects.  I barely comprehend
either term.  I've never programmed in Java even though I have programmed
in Javascript for years.  So I had a tough time reading the stackflow
article.  So I didn't obtain very much useful information from the
stackflow article.

[Jean-Paul R. <re...@gm...>]

>I tried to run bin\startup as an administrator and it didn't work

Unfortunately these kinds of comments don't let anyone help you. To get
correct help you need to provide exactly the steps to reproduce your
installation and problems in executing programs, and then the exact error
messages you receive.

Lots of people run eXist on Windows (I don't, but my colleagues do).

As it goes, most eXist help is now found on the eXist developer's Slack
community,
https://join.slack.com/t/exist-db/shared_invite/zt-89ukckoj-zbbC_V2QDIR5nGMokG9TQA
. You are likely to find more responsiveness there than this mailing list.

Re: [Exist-open] I finally installed eXist....but....

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

I tried to run the program as an administrator and it didn't work.  I tried
to run bin\startup as an administrator and it didn't work.  I couldn't
comprehend one word about the stackflow article.  Unless someone translates
that article for me, I guess this program can't work with Windows.  And
when I tried to use this program in Ubuntu Linux, it refused to use any
Java version except the 1.8 build.  So unless someone can help me with
that, I won't be able to use eXist.  And that's a real shame because 10
years ago l loved using eXist.  I even uploaded videos about it and bought
the book that you published about it.  I've tried to read the book but I
feel I would need an encyclopedia just to translate it.

I think this is a bogus error. I think you may need to run it with 
administrator permissions  or something of the like.

Hi Ted,

I also had this issue with my brand new laptop running windows 11. 
Though it does not run existdb as a service, I managed to launch the 
server by executing /bin/statrtup.bat through the command line.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Vincent

Is there a particular reason you want Oracle's Java instead of OpenJDK?  OpenJDK is the same software under a different (free) license and you can get it from a lot of places, including directly from Microsoft:

Re: [Exist-open] Monex displays incorrect version of Java

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

Fortunately I"m using Ubuntu Linux 23.10 Minotaur Linux.  But I don't know
how to fix it there.

Hi Ted,

Presuming that you are on Windows, I'd check the environment variable 
JAVA_HOME to see if it matches what you expect. Also, you could open the 
Registry, search for 'exist-db' and check/update the JVM entry.

Best of luck,
Pieter

[Exist-open] Monex displays incorrect version of Java

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

My current version of Java is 11.  Yet Monex is insisting that I'm using
Java 1.8.0_171  How can I fix this?

Re: [Exist-open] I installed eXist successfully.....but....

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

Duh!  I remembered that I had to type admin for my Username.  That was the
problem with signing into my eXist.  But I have a new problem.  When I
signed into eXist I got the following error:  connection to server failed.
I have no idea why this is happening.

Re: [Exist-open] I installed eXist successfully.....but....

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

Thanks for all of your assistance.  But I have to say that Shift + F5 does
nothing.  And somehow I must have screwed up my user name and password when
I installed eXist.  I can't access Monex without correcting this problem.
I will contact Oracle today and see if there is something that can be added
to an installation program so that the program can automatically detect and
adjust the Java version in a Linux computer.  If they help me design a
program that can do this, I will let you know so that you may consider
adding it to future editions of eXist.

I have a reason for such a development.  I finally have a basic
understanding of the Bezier curve.  I plan to teach on YouTube the
fundamentals of using eXist to create Bezier curves.  I'm aware that you
don't have to use eXist for creating Bezier curves.  But if you want to do
good animations, a working knowledge of a database could prove essential to
such a project.  If all goes well, I will recommend eXist to all of the
people watching my videos.  If I run into any difficulties creating the
Bezier curve, I will let you know.  This group appears to be a better group
than AskUbuntu.  I asked them some questions a few days ago and as of yet I
have not received a single answer to any of them.  That could change in
the near future.  I certainly hope so.

If any of you could recommend a video editing suite on Linux that is
comparable to Nero, that would be great.  I know that I can use Handbrake
to convert .mov files to .mp4 files.  But Handbrake is clunky and not
really suited for video editing.  This is especially true if I plan to
insert SVG images in my future videos.  I also plan to replace the hard
drive in my Acer Aspire R15 computer because it crashed.  I will install
Linux and eXist in that computer because once the hard drive is replaced it
should still function.  Originally it was equipped with a 5400 rpm hard
disk drive.  Is there anything else I should know about that computer
before I replace that hard drive?  I don't want to damage the motherboard.
