Topic: Small bug on dvinstall/installUtils.py for Dataverse 6.10.1

Juan López (Apr 10 2026 at 20:00):

Hi everyone,

I’d like to report a small issue in installUtils.py when installing Dataverse with newer versions of Payara. When attempting to install Dataverse using Payara 7.2026.2 (as recommended in the documentation), running python install.py always results in the following error: Invalid Payara directory!

This is because the function "test_appserver_directory" in installUtils.py is checking for Payara 6 and not 7.

Updating the condition to allow Payara 7 resolves the issue.

Hope this helps anyone facing the same issue!

Juan
