I have tried installing BaseX (both 7.9 and 8 beta) on two machines (both macs) and the GUI works fine.
I have now tried following the instructions in “BaseX for dummies” and am having difficulties, when I try to run the HTTP server. On one machine I get the following message:
/usr/local/bin/basexhttp: line 11: cd: /usr/local/Cellar/basex/7.9/libexec/../basex: No such file or directory BaseX 7.9 [Server] Server was started (port: 1984) HTTP Server was started (port: 8984)
The server seems to be running, but the browser gives me a 404 with this message:
HTTP ERROR 404 Problem accessing /. Reason: No function found that matches the request. Powered by Jetty://
“BaseX for dummies” writes: “ … move all the files in the BaseX folder that you modified after installing BaseX … to another location and try again” What does that mean? Where should I move these files to? I didn’t modify any files after installing BaseX.
On the other machine, I simply get the message: “command not found” in response to the command “basexhttp”, even though I am in the bin folder and the basexhttp script is present and executable.
Any suggestions about what I could try next would be welcome. best
