Serviio

okay so serviio is running, and i tried to stop it so i can make a change to the Profiles.xml page but it won't let me stop serviio

i get this error,
Error: Could not find or load main class org.serviio.MediaServer

so i thought okay, reboot my server still no luck, serviio is now not running anymore so il upgrade so i have upgraded to the latest version 1.5.2 and I'm still getting the same error to start the service,

root@zikofski:/opt# serviio start
Error: Could not find or load main class org.serviio.MediaServer

serviio has been running fine for about 2 to 3 years no problems until today >_< am i missing something? this is a ubuntu server, i installed the latest version by moving the old serviio folder to serviio.old and then moving over library and plugins folder i think that was the correct way to do it.

Since you didn't post your start script, I can only guess what needs to be done, but upgrading java might do the trick. And I'm not sure of OpenJDK, I'm using Sun's.

It might be a good idea to run it as a service (you just need to figure out the right type: systemd, upstart or sysv init), there might be the right script on the forum (at least upstart should be).

Also running it as a different user than root is recommended.

thank you for replying, the strange thing is it was working fine up until recently, this is my Java version i think it is upto date but maybe someone can confirm that

Code:: andrew@zikofski:/$ java -version java version "1.8.0_51" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)

even if i type in serviio in the terminal i get the error message :S

Code:: andrew@zikofski:/$ serviio Error: Could not find or load main class org.serviio.MediaServer

this is the start script found in /etc/init.d/serviio

Code:: . /lib/lsb/init-functions if [ -f /etc/default/rcS ]; then . /etc/default/rcS fi DAEMON_STOP=" -stop" NAME="$(basename $0)" PIDFILE="/var/run/serviiod.pid" TIMEOUT=10 if [ -f /etc/default/serviio ]; then . /etc/default/serviio fi [ -x "$DAEMON" ] || exit 0 running() { if [ "x$1" == "x" ]; then echo 0 return 1 fi PS=$(ps h -p $(echo $1 | sed -r 's/[\t \n]+/ -p /') | wc -l) echo $PS if [ $PS -gt 0 ]; then return 0 else return 1 fi } start() { log_daemon_msg "Starting Serviio media server daemon" "$NAME" start-stop-daemon --start -q -b -p "$PIDFILE" -m -c "${SERVICE_ACCOUNT}" -x "${DAEMON}" log_end_msg $? } top() { log_daemon_msg "Stopping Serviio media server daemon" "$NAME" if [ -r "$PIDFILE" ]; then PIDS=$(pstree -p $(<"$PIDFILE") | awk -F'[]' '/^[A-Za-z0-9]/ { print $2" "$4; }') if running "$PIDS" > /dev/null; then "${DAEMON}" "${DAEMON_STOP}" for PID in $PIDS; do if running $PID > /dev/null; then kill -TERM $PID fi done fi COUNTDOWN=$TIMEOUT while let COUNTDOWN--; do if ! running "$PIDS" > /dev/null; then break fi if [ $COUNTDOWN -eq 0 ]; then for PID in $PIDS; do if running $PID > /dev/null; then kill -KILL $PID fi done else echo -n . sleep 1 fi done fi if running "$PIDS" > /dev/null; then log_end_msg 1 else rm -f "$PIDFILE" log_end_msg $? fi } status() { echo -n "$NAME should be" if [ -r "$PIDFILE" ]; then echo -n " up with primary PID $(<"$PIDFILE")" PIDS=$(pstree -p $(<"$PIDFILE") | awk -F'[]' '/^[A-Za-z0-9]/ { print $2" "$4; }') RUNNING=$(running "$PIDS") if [[ $RUNNING && $RUNNING -gt 0 ]]; then echo -n " and $RUNNING processes are running." else echo -n " but it is not running." fi else echo -n " stopped." fi echo } case "${1:-}" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) stop start ;; status) status ;; *) log_success_msg "Usage: /etc/init.d/$NAME {start|stop|restart|status}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0

Your java seems to be the latest one - I have the same version installed.

Have you tried the /serviio/bin/serviio.sh file to run serviio? Looks like there are some important looking parameters - e.g. the `-classpath "$SERVIIO_CLASS_PATH"` part (SERVIIO_CLASS_PATH is set to "$SERVIIO_HOME/lib/*:$SERVIIO_HOME/config" in the script) - I think this is the reason for the "Error: Could not find or load main class org.serviio.MediaServer" error.

I've just tried to run the serviio via it, and it worked. Mayby I would redownload first (wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/se ... nux.tar.gz) and follow this: http://www.serviio.org/component/conten ... e?id=21#q8

Not sure about the init script - looks like the first from here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=71 - and I guess you'll find one more suitable - but I would still start via /serviio/bin/serviio.sh file (you can symlink it to /usr/bin/serviio...) That topis is a gold mine
