Issue originally reported by Petr Jiricka: We have some issues with Pointbase sample databases if Appserver is installed by root. These are analogous to the problems we have with appserver domains. The sample databases are in $APPSRV_INST/pointbase/databases, so when the IDE is shared by multiple users, any changes to the schema done by one user will be visible by other users. Next, if Appserver is installed under root, the user will not be able to modify the db schema at all. I just simulated this on Windows by making the databases folder read only, and it really does not work. This is not as bad as not being able to deploy, but still... A possible fix could be to somehow copy the sample databases to userdir - I guess this would have to be done in the appserver plugin.
We'll look at. Either in this case (i.e rw protection on unix), we could copy the netire pointbase dir in the user directory, an this is the one NetBeans would start, or do a finer grain copy with only the databases... We cannot solve the possible port conflict (9092) is multiple users want to user different pb on the same machine. This is beyond what we can support, I think.
I think this is now fixed. In case of read write issue, the sample databases as well as the scripts are copied in the netbeans userdir/pointbase The port is still 9092, but could be changed by the user via the pointbase.ini file in this area also.
