While setting up a new project this morning I was reminded of a somewhat counter-intuitive sequence when setting up a local environment (even with the simple Pointbase install). When you get to this screen:
Clicking Next will give you this warning:
Just click OK. The database isn’t running at this time.
And, for those who haven’t upgraded in a while and don’t read the manual, you will want to click Run Scripts when you see this screen:
After the wizard completes, look for the create_db.cmd in the domain root and run it before starting the server. The first start, the server will have problems starting. Let it run until nothing is spit into the console anymore, then kill it and start it again. This time it should come up.
