Hello all,

I am trying to run basex as a system daemon in ubuntu linux, and I have managed to get the server up and running on its own home dir, etc[1]. 

I can connect to the server with both the supplied basexclient CLI utility, and with my own perl client (using a local implementation of the server API), however, I am incapable of instructing the GUI client to use the system server... I can connect to the system server using the "Server administration dialog", that works and shows users, sessions and databases for the running system server, but when I tried opening a database, it complains that it can't faind any... I assume because it is looking for them in my user home dir.

I can see the server dbs if i enter the server data path (ie, /var/lib/baxsex ) as "database path" in the GUI preferences, but i obviously get a "permission denied" error when trying to open them as local dbs.

Can the GUI client be used to connect to a running (maybe even remote) server instance? How?

Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!

jta.
