unable to start/stop 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:

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
