Hello!

I'm trying to run the ServerExample (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/webapp-web-apps-overview.39811/#content) on my NAS Synology.

This device uses MariaDB10 instead of MySQL.

So, I've done some modification to ServerExample (renamed in ServerExampleMariaDB) code:
  1. I've downloaded "mariadb-java-client-2.7.1.jar" library (from here) and I've added it in Additional libraries folder
  2. in the Main module I've substituted
    B4X: 
    #AdditionalJar: mysql-connector-java-5.1.27-bin
    with
    B4X: 
    #AdditionalJar: mariadb-java-client-2.7.1
  3. in the settings.txt file I've substituted
    B4X: 
    JdbcUrl=jdbc:mysql://localhost/b4j_server?characterEncoding=utf8
DriverClass=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
DBUser=root
DBPassword=
RecaptchaPrivateKey=
Port=51042
[*]
    with
    B4X: 
    JdbcUrl=jdbc:mariadb://localhost/b4j_server?characterEncoding=utf8
DriverClass=org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver
DBUser=root
DBPassword=
RecaptchaPrivateKey=
Port=51052
[*]
  4. I've run the ServerExampleMariaDB code in release mode and copied on web folder the ServerExampleMariaDB.jar, the "www" folder; I've created at same level of "www" folder on NAS, the folder "libs" with all the libraries listed by the info compile windows:
B4X: 
B4J Version: 8.50
Java Version: 8
Parsing code.    (0.10s)
Building folders structure.    (0.03s)
Compiling code.    (0.09s)
Compiling layouts code.    (0.00s)
Organizing libraries.    (0.00s)
Compiling generated Java code.    (0.01s)
Building jar file.    (0.05s)
    Jar file created: D:\B4X\B4J-Projects\ServerExample\Objects\ServerExample.jar
    Libraries were not merged into jar file.
The following libraries should be distributed in the libs folder:
    ByteConverter.jar
    Encryption.jar
    jCore.jar
    jCustomToast.jar
    jDateUtils.jar
    jExcel.jar
    jHTTP.jar
    jServer.jar
    Json.jar
    jSQL.jar
    jStringUtils.jar
    jxl.jar
    httpcore-4.0.jar
    commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
    jetty_b4j.jar
    c3p0-0.9.5.2.jar
    c3p0-oracle-thin-extras-0.9.5.2.jar
    mchange-commons-java-0.2.11.jar
    sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar
    mariadb-java-client-2.7.1.jar
Running application.    (5.30s)
Completed successfully.

Then I opened the chosen port (51052 as set in setting.txt) on router and run the ServerExampleMariaDB.jar in Task Scheduler, following "my precedent success" for the HelloWorldServer example.

But the server program doesn't work and the task results "Interrupted" and I've gotten "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED".

This is my first attempt to manage a client-server DB; maybe do I miss some basic passage?

Any support will be welcome!

Thank you!

Have you also added: #AdditionalJar: mariadb-java-client-2.7.1 .jar ?

I've updated the code:
B4X: 
#Region  Project Attributes
    #CommandLineArgs:
    #MergeLibraries: false
    '#AdditionalJar: mysql-connector-java-5.1.27-bin 'this is the original string in the ServerExample
    #AdditionalJar: mariadb-java-client-2.7.1
    #AdditionalJar: sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2
#End Region

and make sure that the correct library "mariadb-java-client-2.7.1.jar" is in the path:

and got this nohup.out file:

Not sure why you added sqlite, but it is not related to this error.

It's not me. As is in the example. :)

Erel said:
This is a different error. It means that jRDC2 wasn't able to get a connection. Maybe the password is wrong. Maybe the db server is not open for TCP connections. Maybe the port is wrong.
Click to expand...
I'm using as DBUser "root" and I've checked the password several times and is correct. I use the same user and password I use to access with phpMyAdmin.

I've ensured to enable TCP/IP connection (as per attached image). About the port: do you mean the MariaDB port? That is by default set at 3307. I need to wrote it in somewhere?

The standar port is 3306 if I'm not wrong. Probably synology has changed it to coexist MariaDB 10 and 5
Add the port to the connection string:
B4X: 
JdbcUrl=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3307/b4j_server?characterEncoding=utf8

EUREKA! ?

Thanks to everybody!!!

So, "my step by step" instruction to run the ServerExample (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/webapp-web-apps-overview.39811/#content) on Synology NAS with MariaDB [please, correct me if there is something wrong]:
  1. download "mariadb-java-client-2.7.1.jar" library (from here) or a new stable version
  2. in the Main module call the "mariadb-java-client-2.7.1.jar" library:
    B4X: 
    #Region Project Attributes
#CommandLineArgs:
#MergeLibraries: false
' ************************ #AdditionalJar: mysql-connector-java-5.1.27-bin ******************* this is the original string in the ServerExample
#AdditionalJar: mariadb-java-client-2.7.1
#AdditionalJar: sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2
#End Region
  3. Create by phpMyAdmin the database "b4j_server" (or use another name)
  4. Change the "settings.txt" file
    JdbcUrl=jdbc:mysql://localhost/b4j_server?characterEncoding=utf8
    DriverClass=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    JdbcUrl=jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3307/b4j_server?characterEncoding=utf8
    DriverClass=org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver
    DBUser=root
    DBPassword=[password]
    RecaptchaPrivateKey=[key if is available]
    Port=51042
    the "3307" is the default port of MariaDB. It is possible to use as "DBUser" and "DBPassword" the same used to have access to phpMyAdmin. "b4j_server" is the name of database created at point no. 3. If you want to change the name of database at point no. 3,it is necessary change also here in "settings.txt" file
  5. Run the code in release mode
  6. Copy on web folder the .jar file, the "www" folder
  7. Create at same level of "www" folder on NAS, the folder "libs" and copy herein all the libraries listed by the info compile window, including "mariadb-java-client-2.7.1.jar" library
  8. open MariaDB window and enable TCP/IP connection
  9. open the port "51042" (or the other port choose in "settings.txt" file) on router to give remote access
  10. Then, the working code in "Panel Control -> Task Scheduler -> Create -> Triggered Task > User-defined script":
    B4X: 
    cd /volume1/web/ServerExample
nohup /var/packages/Java8/target/j2sdk-image/bin/java -jar /volume1/web/ServerExample/ServerExample.jar > /volume1/web/ServerExample/nohup.out
  11. in "Panel Control -> Task Scheduler" select the task and "Run"
I hope may be useful.

No. You need to create an empty database with the name "b4J_server". The example doesn't create one for you.

Error Attempting to Use MySQL with Server Login Example

I've installed the latest version of MySQL for Windows to my PC. It seems to be up and running. I'm getting the following error when trying to run the Server Login Example. I've got my MySQL root credentials specified in the settings.txt file. This is in my code: #AdditionalJar...

Now starting to play with setting up a B4J server, on my Synology. Following details in #26, but where is the settings.txt file, I don`t have it in the downloaded zip file?
