I started the server from the GUI and examined the process in BSD. I figured out the exact command was:

java -cp /Applications/BaseX.app/Contents/Resources/Java/repo/org/basex/basex/7.2.1/basex-7.2.1.jar org.basex.BaseXServer

I used the bash script, but also without success because nothing in the script make it possible to find that jar file.

In fact I took the command from http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Startup

What would be the good directory to run that command from? The one containing BaseX.jar? BaseX.jar does not exist on my system. So is it just an command example?

I thought that it was the out-of-the-box command to start a server without using the GUI.

Hi,

this is a pure Java error; it indicates that the addressed Java class could not be found. Did you run the java call from the correct directory?

I just installed basex 7.2.1 for the first time. Then I would like to start the server so I can use a command line client to query it. But I got this error:

$ java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXServer Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/basex/BaseXServer Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.basex.BaseXServer        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190)        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)

I'm on OSX 10.7.4 BaseX is installed in /Applications/BaseX.app

Thanks,

It maybe was because the basexserver script is erroneous in the doc that I was confused by having an error while running it.

The links to both scripts basexserver and basexclient are the same (basexclient) in the doc: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Startup

I figured out what was the basexserver script (only the last line changed?), but could you leave me a note when it will be fixed?

Well, you'll only succeed if the argument of your -cp argument points to a JAR file, or a directory with Java classes. Otherwise, the Java runtime environment will have no clue where to locate the code to be executed.
