Hi Nigel,

the GUI (apart from the Server Administration Dialog that only allows to administer users and database) only works locally.
So queries or commands added in BaseX Gui are only executed in a local manner.
To perform queries and retrieve results over the wire you should use the BaseX-Client.
You can start it via:
$ java -cp basex.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -n <hostname>
Further information on BaseXClient can be found here:

Hope this helps!
Kind regards
Michael

Hi,

I can't work out how to connect from a client to a server.

I know that the server is running ok because I can connect to it locally
using "localhost" but I can't connect from the client. This is what I'm
doing on the client:

1. File menu --> Server Administration.
2. Administrator Logon password: admin
3. Administrator Logon hostname: 192.168.2.10
4. Click the Connect button.

The message "Connected to 192.168.2.10:1984" is shown.

If I then click on the database tab, the databases dropdown box shows "22
databases". One of which is called "bjd".

I then close the Server Administration dialog box and in the command line
type "open bjd" but I get "Error: Database bjd was not found."

Help! What's going on?

Regards

Nigel
