Unistall Postgres to install MySql on Mac OS X 10.6

[wyattbiker]

 I am new to this. I downloaded the jasperserver 4.5. I already have mysql and apache on my Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Is there a way to install Jasper server using the binary installer for the Mac OS X, then remove the Postgres and install MySQL manually?

Or is Postgres compiled into the server so I have to recompile anyway?

Thanks

Postgres is not compiled into the server. You can store the JasperServer repository in any database (we're using Oracle). You configure the database JDBC URLs in the file SERVER_HOME/webapps/jasperserver-pro/WEB-INF/js.jdbc.properties.

 

However, you'll need to initialize your database with the tables that Jasper needs to populate the repository. Chapter 6 of the JasperReports Server Install Guide describes manual database creation. Section 6.1.2 gives details for MySQL.

 

It might be easier to install the WAR distro of the server, instead of trying to modify the version installed by the Mac installer. The WAR installation is described in the Install Guide in chapter 5. You can get the WAR file distro at http://jasperforge.org/website/jasperserverwebsite/JSJA%20Website/js_download.html?header=project&target=jasperserver
