Hi Christian,
Thanks for your prompt response. I hadn't really understood the implications of that little line in the documentation, and you are correct that the server administration dialog is a little misleading.
May I ask why this is the case? Is there some technical reason that makes it unadvisable to have the GUI talking through the server/client architecture? If it's just a matter of development efforts, I would love to help, but I'm afraid my java leaves a lot to be desired...
Thanks again. Best, jta

Hi José,
thanks for your mail.
You’d probably like to hear something different, but the BaseX GUI is not connected with the client/server architecture (you can find more details here [1]). This is one reason why the "Server Administration" dialog will probably removed in a future version of BaseX. We have both received and developed prototypes for a web admin interface based on RESTXQ [2], but we didn’t regard them as mature enough to be officially deployed with BaseX.
Hope this helps, Christian

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.
