cubeSQL 4.5 and Yosemite

October 18, 2014 in Server

With the recent release of Yosemite, Apple changed the way startup items works (they removed support for the old StartupItems way).

So in order to automatically launches cubeSQL on system startup you need to copy the script:
http://www.sqlabs.com/download/cubesql/others/cubesql_startup.tgz
into the system folder: /Library/LaunchDaemons

Make sure the plist has the following privileges:
pListPrivileges

To change plist privileges from the Terminal just type:
sudo chown root:wheel com.sqlabs.cubesql.plist

Please note that the upcoming cubeSQL version 5 will automatically take care of the change.

I'm not able to get CubeSQL 4.5 to run automatically on my OSX Yosemite MacBookPro. I hope version 5 will be available one of these days...

Hello Olivier,
if you have copied the plist in the right folder and it does not automatically starts then it is a permission problem. Please make sure that privileges are as indicated in the post.
I'll release version 5 as soon as I'll be 100% sure that the latest issue will be fixed. It is almost finished and I am working closely with a customer who is reporting an issue under heavy load.

Hi Marco

That's great thanks and just what I needed.

First time I tried I received the message

no such file or directory

I found that I had to first change the directory to get this to work using the command

cd /Library/LaunchDaemons

Hope this might help others with the same problem :-)

If you copy (not move!) the file to the folder rights and owner of the file should be get corrected by Mac OS X.

You can copy it while holding the alt key – remember the green plus sign at the mouse pointer! ;-)

The plist is also working with version 4.3.0 (Engine 3.7.13) on Yosemite.
