Re: [Exist-open] [Ext] apache reverse proxy

[Craig B. <cra...@ma...>]

I should have said, I do the dashboard, eXide and such directly in Jetty on port 8443 (with firewall rules restricting access to that port).  The only thing on port 443 is a single app proxied by Apache to localhost:8080.

"... getting out of a sonnet is much more

Re: [Exist-open] [Ext] apache reverse proxy

[Eduard D. <ed...@fr...>]

Thanks, tried to adapt your setup to /somecontext, for example:

ProxyPass "/TEST/modellenhisgis" "http://host:port/exist"
ProxyPassReverse "/TEST/modellenhisgis" "http://host:port/exist"

RewriteEngine       on
RewriteRule         ^/exist/(.*)$     /TEST/modellenhisgis/$1   [PT]

AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html

Substitute "s|/exist/|/TEST/modellenhisgis/|n"


But the /exist context is unwanted for me and logging in only works on
/exist.

So it looks one cannot (easily) run several exist-db instances behind
different context paths with all functionality (exide, dashboar,
package manager, monex, login,..) available.

Looks like exist-db does some things using absolute paths instead of
relative to context path.

I may have to reconsider my setup

Bye, Eduard

Re: [Exist-open] [ANN] Release of eXist 5.3.0

[Eduard D. <ed...@fr...>]

When upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3 I had to do several things:

- remove <dependency package="http://exist-db.org/apps/shared"/> from
expath-pkg.xml
- remove         <fulltext default="none" attributes="false"/> from
collection.xconf
- change templating to http://exist-db.org/xquery/html-templating
- change my conf.xml to be based on 
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/blob/eXist-5.3.0/exist-distribution/src/main/config/conf.xml
- fix some more strict variable types

Perhaps this helps, Eduard

I tried that and the exception changed to:

As far as I can see, that doesn't tell me what, exactly, is using HTML
templating / shared-resources.  Is there any guide related to migrating
to the new way of doing templating or is all of that supposed to be
API-compatible?

I don't see any missing repo.xml or expath-pkg.xml files.

Dear all,


 


I would like to run exist-db behind a certain path in apache, like so:


 


        ProxyPass "/TEST/modellenhisgis" "http://ip:port/exist"


        ProxyPassReverse "/TEST/modellenhisgis" "http://ip:port/exist"


 

This fails because several request are made to /exist instead of to
/TEST/modellenhisgis.


 


The docs 
http://www.exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/production_web_proxying.xml#sect-apache
 do not help because I do not have a virhost.


 


Can I run exist behind a path?

I tried that and the exception changed to:

As far as I can see, that doesn't tell me what, exactly, is using HTML templating / shared-resources.  Is there any guide related to migrating to the new way of doing templating or is all of that supposed to be API-compatible?

I don't see any missing repo.xml or expath-pkg.xml files.

Re: [Exist-open] [ANN] Release of eXist 5.3.0

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi Craig,

Thanks for reporting your experience. We're tracking the Apple installation
experience issues at https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/issues/3961.

Several people have reported experiencing an issue where Dashboard doesn't
open after upgrading eXist unless you clear your cookies. (For me, clearing
the JSESSIONID cookie worked; I do this in Chrome by navigating to
Dashboard, opening View > Developer > Developer Tools > Application >
Cookies > http://localhost:8080, selecting the JSESSIONID cookie, and
hitting the delete key or using right-click > Delete.)

I don't think that's your issue, but I mentioned it just in case you do see
it (it has returned for some people who access multiple versions of
Dashboard in the same browser).

In Slack, Christian Wittern reported an issue similar to yours. It turned
out to be caused by a custom package missing a repo.xml resource, a
condition that triggered a bug in the packageservice app. What allowed
Christian to overcome the problem was by modifying the
packages:get-package-meta() function in
/db/apps/packageservice/modules/packages.xqm module, lines 269-274, to read:

        try {
            let $meta := repo:get-resource($app, $name)
            return util:binary-to-string($meta)
        } catch * {
            util:log("warn", ("Could not get metadata for: ", $app, $name))
        }

Christian reported that this fixed the issue, and in Juri said he plans to
submit a PR with this fix.

Until a new version of packageservice is available, hopefully this
workaround will get you back up and running. You might also examine your
packages to look for a missing repo.xml file or possibly even other package
metadata files (e.g., expath-pkg.xml).

Thanks for all the hard work.  I have run into some issues getting this working and I'm reporting here rather than GitHub as it's unclear to me whether the problems are in eXist, one of the new or revised packages, or pilot error of some sort.

I installed the DMG image on macOS 11.4, keeping an existing data directory that's been running fine with 5.2.0.  I did have to ignore a warning about not being able to verify the identity of the publisher, which I assume has something to do with not paying Apple to countersign the code signing cert or something.  That was readily ignorable, if initially alarming.  I bumped up some memory settings during the first start-up but otherwise accepted the defaults.

When I open the Dashboard from the menu bar and logged in, I didn't get any application icons.  I clicked on Package Manager in the left side menu and got a "loading of available packages failed" message.  At this point the browser console shows a 404 error at this URL:

http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/dashboard/bower_components/web-animations-js/web-animations-next-lite.min.js.map

and a 400 error at this URL:

http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/packageservice/packages/apps

the details of which look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<exception>
    <path>/db/apps/packageservice/modules/local-apps.xql</path>
    <message>err:FODC0002 Resource icon.png does not exist. [at line 148, column 18, source: /db/apps/packageservice/modules/packages.xqm]
    In function:
    	(item()*, item()*, item()*) [148:18:/db/apps/packageservice/modules/packages.xqm]

    	packages:get-local-applications() [16:6:/db/apps/packageservice/modules/packages.xqm]</message>
</exception>

There is an icon.png at /db/apps/packageservice/icon.png, so I'm not sure what it's confused about.  In /db/apps/packageservice/expath-pkg.xml, it says the version I have is 1.3.9 -- is that the right one?

eXide seems to be working fine.  I tried running the following in eXide, which had no effect:

  import module namespace repair="http://exist-db.org/xquery/repo/repair"
  at "resource:org/exist/xquery/modules/expathrepo/repair.xql";

  repair:clean-all(),
  repair:repair()

Any other ideas?

Re: [Exist-open] Release of eXist 5.3.0

[Lars W. <la...@ji...>]

That was my task and I missed a step, sorry for that and just fixed it. Although 5.3.0 does not show up here: https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.exist-db/exist yet it does if you click on "browse" (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/exist-db/exist/5.3.0/). Working with a 5.3.0 dependency in my pom.xml worked fine as well.

Cheers, Lars

> 
> We are very happy to announce that eXist-db 5.3.0 has been released.
> 
> It's been quite a while since the last release. A lot has been happening behind the scenes, and we are happy to share the outcome with you. 5.3.0 is a minor release, and should be 100% API compatible with 5.0.0  as such.
> 
> * TLDR: https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/releases/tag/eXist-5.3.0
> 
> ## Highlights
> 
> ### XQuery 3.1 compatibility
> 
> - Improved handling of the XQuery type system - [#3363](https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3363), [#3266](https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3266), [#3728](https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3728), [#3791](https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3791)
> - Function types are now allowed as values in context item expressions
> - Duplicate functions will reliably throw a useful error
> - Root context is shielded from user defined functions
> - Several fixes for positional predicates
> - When errors are thrown in XQuery most of them will now have useful location information
> - Fixed parser issues to allow empty function body, and allow `||` in attribute and element content
> - Allow other seed types in fn:random-number-generator (like dates) - [#3072](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3072)
> - Fixed the cardinality of fn:random-number-generator#1 - [#3249](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3249)
> - Improved `fn:format-number` - [#3348](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3348)
> - Made `fn:collection` spec compliant - [#3349](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3349)
> - Allow sequences for batch deletions in `map:remove` and `array:remove` - [#3328](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3228), [#3692](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3692)
> 
> ### New functions added
> 
> - `array:sort` - [#3596](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3596)
> - `fn:document-uri#0` - [#3644](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3644)
> - `fn:trace#1` - [#3597](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3597)
> - `fn:xml-to-json` - [#3141](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3141)
> 
> ### Other important additions
> 
> - Module handling and caching was improved significantly
> - Both `controller.xq` and `controller.xql` are now recognized in apps that use eXist's URL Rewriting facility, to conform with the community convention of `.xq` for main modules and `.xqm` for library modules.
> - The implementation of maps was changed to gain performance
> - Allow Bearer tokens and other schemes than "Basic" in Authentication header
> - Allow HTTP verb PATCH
> - Custom base64 handling code was replaced with apache.commons code and a new function `util:base64-encode-url-safe` was added
> - Enhanced `util:eval` to preserve the original error information
> - In Lucene, you can now use different analyzers for indexing and querying
> 
> ### Bundled apps
> 
> All bundled applications have their frontend dependencies updated.
> 
> - The index view in **monex** now lists new fields and facets - [#124](https://github.com/eXist-db/monex/pull/124).
> - The **shared resources** and **markdown** packages are no longer bundled with eXist-db. If your application depends on those you can still declare dependencies on them in your package metadata and download them from the [package repository](https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/public-repo/index.html).
> 
> ### IMPORTANT NOTE
> 
> The default eXist-db configuration settings are **not production ready**. Make sure to consult our [article on best practices ](https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/production_good_practice.xml) before making your eXist-db instance publicly available.
> 
> The new [existdb-config](https://github.com/eXistSolutions/existdb-config) project implements these "best practices" and can easily be used to harden your eXist-db(s) from version 5.1.1 till 5.3.0.
> 
> ### Licensing
> 
> A lot of effort was poured into getting eXist-db's source code licensed properly. It is now consistently LGPL 2.1, with exceptions where code from other projects is used with their permission.

> Users who are upgrading should always consult the Upgrading Guide
> https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/upgrading.xml in the documentation.
> For
> details of backwards compatibility with versions of eXist-db prior to
> 5.0.0-RC6, please see the Backwards Compatibility details of 5.0.0-RC6
> http://www.exist-db.org/exist/apps/wiki/blogs/eXist/eXistdb500RC6.
>
> ## Downloading eXist-db 5.3.0
>
> - eXist-db v5.5.0 is available for download from Github
> https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/releases/tag/eXist-5.3.0.

[Eduard D. <ed...@fr...>]

Congratulations and thanks for all your hard work! Maven central follows I suppose?

Regards, Eduard

Subject: (SPAM) [Exist-open] [ANN] Release of eXist 5.3.0
Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2021 18:04:28 +0000

We are very happy to announce that eXist-db 5.3.0 has been released.

It's been quite a while since the last release. A lot has been happening behind the scenes, and we are happy to share the outcome with you. 5.3.0 is a minor release, and should be 100% API compatible with 5.0.0  as such.

* TLDR: https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/releases/tag/eXist-5.3.0

## Highlights

### XQuery 3.1 compatibility

- Improved handling of the XQuery type system - [#3363](https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3363), [#3266](https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3266), [#3728](https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3728), [#3791](https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3791)
- Function types are now allowed as values in context item expressions
- Duplicate functions will reliably throw a useful error
- Root context is shielded from user defined functions
- Several fixes for positional predicates
- When errors are thrown in XQuery most of them will now have useful location information
- Fixed parser issues to allow empty function body, and allow `||` in attribute and element content
- Allow other seed types in fn:random-number-generator (like dates) - [#3072](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3072)
- Fixed the cardinality of fn:random-number-generator#1 - [#3249](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3249)
- Improved `fn:format-number` - [#3348](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3348)
- Made `fn:collection` spec compliant - [#3349](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3349)
- Allow sequences for batch deletions in `map:remove` and `array:remove` - [#3328](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3228), [#3692](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3692)

### New functions added

- `array:sort` - [#3596](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3596)
- `fn:document-uri#0` - [#3644](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3644)
- `fn:trace#1` - [#3597](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3597)
- `fn:xml-to-json` - [#3141](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3141)

### Other important additions

- Module handling and caching was improved significantly
- Both `controller.xq` and `controller.xql` are now recognized in apps that use eXist's URL Rewriting facility, to conform with the community convention of `.xq` for main modules and `.xqm` for library modules.
- The implementation of maps was changed to gain performance
- Allow Bearer tokens and other schemes than "Basic" in Authentication header
- Allow HTTP verb PATCH
- Custom base64 handling code was replaced with apache.commons code and a new function `util:base64-encode-url-safe` was added
- Enhanced `util:eval` to preserve the original error information
- In Lucene, you can now use different analyzers for indexing and querying

### Bundled apps

All bundled applications have their frontend dependencies updated.

- The index view in **monex** now lists new fields and facets - [#124](https://github.com/eXist-db/monex/pull/124).
- The **shared resources** and **markdown** packages are no longer bundled with eXist-db. If your application depends on those you can still declare dependencies on them in your package metadata and download them from the [package repository](https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/public-repo/index.html).

### IMPORTANT NOTE

The default eXist-db configuration settings are **not production ready**. Make sure to consult our [article on best practices ](https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/production_good_practice.xml) before making your eXist-db instance publicly available.

The new [existdb-config](https://github.com/eXistSolutions/existdb-config) project implements these "best practices" and can easily be used to harden your eXist-db(s) from version 5.1.1 till 5.3.0.

### Licensing

A lot of effort was poured into getting eXist-db's source code licensed properly. It is now consistently LGPL 2.1, with exceptions where code from other projects is used with their permission.

## Backwards Compatibility

eXist-db 5.3.0 is binary compatible with previous eXist-db 5.x.x versions
back to 5.0.0-RC6. Regardless, before upgrading to this version of
eXist-db, it is strongly recommended to perform a full backup and restore.
Users who are upgrading should always consult the Upgrading Guide
https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/upgrading.xml in the documentation. For
details of backwards compatibility with versions of eXist-db prior to
5.0.0-RC6, please see the Backwards Compatibility details of 5.0.0-RC6
http://www.exist-db.org/exist/apps/wiki/blogs/eXist/eXistdb500RC6.

## Downloading eXist-db 5.3.0

- eXist-db v5.5.0 is available for download from Github
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/releases/tag/eXist-5.3.0.
- Docker images are available from eXist-db's DockerHub
https://hub.docker.com/r/existdb/existdb/tags/.
- Maven artifacts are available from Maven Central
https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.exist-db.
- Mac users of the Homebrew http://brew.sh package repository need to wait a short moment but will then be able to acquire eXist 5.3.0 directly from there via. the `exist-db` cask.


A big thanks to all contributors!

Ciao, Juri

[Exist-open] [ANN] Release of eXist 5.3.0

[Juri L. <ju...@ex...>]

We are very happy to announce that eXist-db 5.3.0 has been released.

It's been quite a while since the last release. A lot has been happening
behind the scenes, and we are happy to share the outcome with you. 5.3.0 is
a minor release, and should be 100% API compatible with 5.0.0  as such.

* TLDR: https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/releases/tag/eXist-5.3.0

## Highlights

### XQuery 3.1 compatibility

- Improved handling of the XQuery type system - [#3363](
https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3363), [#3266](
https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3266), [#3728](
https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3728), [#3791](
https://github.com/exist-db/exist/pull/3791)
- Function types are now allowed as values in context item expressions
- Duplicate functions will reliably throw a useful error
- Root context is shielded from user defined functions
- Several fixes for positional predicates
- When errors are thrown in XQuery most of them will now have useful
location information
- Fixed parser issues to allow empty function body, and allow `||` in
attribute and element content
- Allow other seed types in fn:random-number-generator (like dates) -
[#3072](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3072)
- Fixed the cardinality of fn:random-number-generator#1 - [#3249](
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3249)
- Improved `fn:format-number` - [#3348](
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3348)
- Made `fn:collection` spec compliant - [#3349](
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3349)
- Allow sequences for batch deletions in `map:remove` and `array:remove` -
[#3328](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3228), [#3692](
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3692)

### New functions added

- `array:sort` - [#3596](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3596)
- `fn:document-uri#0` - [#3644](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3644)
- `fn:trace#1` - [#3597](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3597)
- `fn:xml-to-json` - [#3141](https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/pull/3141)

### Other important additions

- Module handling and caching was improved significantly
- Both `controller.xq` and `controller.xql` are now recognized in apps that
use eXist's URL Rewriting facility, to conform with the community
convention of `.xq` for main modules and `.xqm` for library modules.
- The implementation of maps was changed to gain performance
- Allow Bearer tokens and other schemes than "Basic" in Authentication
header
- Allow HTTP verb PATCH
- Custom base64 handling code was replaced with apache.commons code and a
new function `util:base64-encode-url-safe` was added
- Enhanced `util:eval` to preserve the original error information
- In Lucene, you can now use different analyzers for indexing and querying

### Bundled apps

All bundled applications have their frontend dependencies updated.

- The index view in **monex** now lists new fields and facets - [#124](
https://github.com/eXist-db/monex/pull/124).
- The **shared resources** and **markdown** packages are no longer bundled
with eXist-db. If your application depends on those you can still declare
dependencies on them in your package metadata and download them from the
[package repository](https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/public-repo/index.html
).

### IMPORTANT NOTE

The default eXist-db configuration settings are **not production ready**.
Make sure to consult our [article on best practices ](
https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/production_good_practice.xml) before
making your eXist-db instance publicly available.

The new [existdb-config](https://github.com/eXistSolutions/existdb-config)
project implements these "best practices" and can easily be used to harden
your eXist-db(s) from version 5.1.1 till 5.3.0.

### Licensing

A lot of effort was poured into getting eXist-db's source code licensed
properly. It is now consistently LGPL 2.1, with exceptions where code from
other projects is used with their permission.

## Backwards Compatibility

eXist-db 5.3.0 is binary compatible with previous eXist-db 5.x.x versions
back to 5.0.0-RC6. Regardless, before upgrading to this version of
eXist-db, it is strongly recommended to perform a full backup and restore.
Users who are upgrading should always consult the Upgrading Guide
https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/upgrading.xml in the documentation. For
details of backwards compatibility with versions of eXist-db prior to
5.0.0-RC6, please see the Backwards Compatibility details of 5.0.0-RC6
http://www.exist-db.org/exist/apps/wiki/blogs/eXist/eXistdb500RC6.

## Downloading eXist-db 5.3.0

- eXist-db v5.5.0 is available for download from Github
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/releases/tag/eXist-5.3.0.
- Docker images are available from eXist-db's DockerHub
https://hub.docker.com/r/existdb/existdb/tags/.
- Maven artifacts are available from Maven Central
https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.exist-db.
- Mac users of the Homebrew http://brew.sh package repository need to wait
a short moment but will then be able to acquire eXist 5.3.0 directly from
there via. the `exist-db` cask.


A big thanks to all contributors!

Ciao, Juri

Hi Slav,

Here are a couple of approaches.

  https://gist.github.com/joewiz/ad1e370ecb6c19feedbf4804f76268d7

I'll be interested to see if you or others here think of different
approaches. (You might also ask on xquery-talk [1] or the XML.com Slack

Re: [Exist-open] Deploying to Tomcat

[Eduard D. <ed...@fr...>]

Running in docker is a fine solution, but:

Being a big fan of CDI/EE/Jakarta/JPA etc. I think it is a pitty exist-db seems to migrate away from the Java enterprise community.

Hi,

In the most recent documentation the war-build instructions have been removed ( http://www.exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/exist-building.xml and in the github page [which is leading])

We do not provide a WAR build any more;  I’d recommend to run exist-db in a Docker container, is that an alternative for your situation?

Cheers

Dannes

[Exist-open] Deploying to Tomcat

[Gary K. <ge...@ru...>]

My goal is to deploy an eXist-db .war file to an existing Tomcat 
installation. There are some instructions at 
http://gwi-exist2.gwi.uni-muenchen.de:8081/exist/apps/doc/building.xml 
that are no longer current, and I can find nothing else. I have built 
and packaged the eXist develop branch. Are there any hints somewhere on 
creating an eXist .war file from the results of the Maven packaging 
process? TIA.

[Nick S. <nsi...@nu...>]

Joe,
     The re-indexing experience I described below is unrelated to this 
bug. We use eXist-db v5.3.0-SNAPSHOT.

Re: [Exist-open] xmldb:rename shows incorrect behaviour on collections with subcollections (eXist 5.2)

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi Jo,

A related bug with move and rename operations was fixed in the develop
branch and will be included in the forthcoming release of eXist 5.3.0 See
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/issues/3310.

Could you test with eXist 5.3.0-SNAPSHOT?

Joe

Re: [Exist-open] xmldb:rename shows incorrect behaviour on collections with subcollections (eXist 5.2)

[Nick S. <nsi...@nu...>]

Have you tried re-indexing your collections? The reason I suggest this 
is because I sometime run into perplexing situations where my queries 
are not working and I re-index and suddenly they query works. This just 
happened to me yesterday. I don't really have an explanation on why the 
collection needs re-indexing but it is happened enough time in the past 
that it is a technique I always remember to try if I am really confused 
why my query is not working.

[Exist-open] xmldb:rename shows incorrect behaviour on collections with subcollections (eXist 5.2)

[Jo C. <Jo....@ha...>]

Hi all,

The following query produces no output

xquery version "3.1";
declare variable $collection-1-name := util:uuid();
declare variable $collection-2-name := util:uuid();
declare variable $collection-1-uri := "/db/" || $collection-1-name;
declare variable $sub-collection-name := "subcollection";
declare variable $sub-collection-uri := $collection-1-uri || "/" ||
$sub-collection-name;
declare variable $collection-2-uri := "/db/" || $collection-2-name;
declare variable $expected-sub-collection-uri :=  $collection-2-uri || "/"
|| $sub-collection-name;
declare variable $resource-name := "test.xml";

declare function local:test() {
    xmldb:create-collection("/db",  $collection-1-name),
    xmldb:create-collection($collection-1-uri,  $sub-collection-name),
    xmldb:store($sub-collection-uri, $resource-name, <test/>),
    xmldb:rename($collection-1-uri, $collection-2-name),
    xmldb:collection-available($expected-sub-collection-uri)
};

local:test()

Furthermore, attempts to delete the resulting  $collection-2-uri via eXide
> Manage gives a dialog "Delete Resource Error".   The following is shown
in exist.log:

Re: [Exist-open] installation stops at step 8 - windows

[Viehhauser, G. <gab...@il...>]

Hi Elisa,

thank you so much for your help (and for pointing to your inspiring Github-page, also the NLP-stuff looks amazing).

Unfortunately we could not fix the problem yet. Navigating to localhost throws an error (connection not found), since exist is not fully installed. The funny thing about the problem is that the the installation starts normally as if everything is ok, but then gets stuck near the end of the process. Since I am trying to help remotely, it is a bit complicated for me to check for firewalls and stuff like that…

Best
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,
I asked my students (on Windows and Mac) to try installing eXist locally a couple of months ago, and they had a range of issues with it. I think I recorded most of those in a set of instructions on our class GitHub as we figured things out: see if any of this helps (look for the Windows-specific instructions): https://github.com/newtfire/textAnalysis-Hub/blob/main/Install-eXist-dB.md

And, before you start digging around or starting over, have you opened a web browser and navigated to localhost:8080 ? When you do, what do you see?

Good luck! Windows can be tricky with Java issues and firewalls…

Hi all,

please excuse, if this is a noob-question: I am trying to help a colleague to install existdb on her Windows10-machine (via video, which makes it a bit complicated). We are using the jar-file, the installation process starts normally, but gets stuck at step 8 of 9 (without any visual error-message). Any ideas, what could be the problem?

Thanks
