I have been trying to run BaseX as a web application on my mac. After some difficulties I have gotten it to work.

However there is one thing that I am still unsure about. Whenever I start the web server using ‘basexhttp’ 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

However everything thereafter seems to work fine.

So why do I get this message, or what does it mean?

In my installation (which I got through the brew script) there is no ‘basex’ file/folder at the specified location (which would be in the ‘7.9’ folder). Should there be?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
