Serviio doesnt start after updating packages on Ubuntu 14.04

Hi.

First of all, props to the developers for writing a good & stable app. I enjoy using it most of the time.

I just applied some updates to Ubuntu 14.04 and now Serviio doesn't want to start anymore. Doesn't say why.

I can attach any file if you tell me what you need. Thank you!

I think the problem is related to the new java version I just upgrated to (java version "1.7.0_65").

Serviio stops after a few seconds and this is the last log entry:

  Code:

2014-09-23 09:14:16,766 ERROR [MediaServer] An unexpected error occured. Ending the application. Message: null

   at org.serviio.update.DBSchemaUpdateExecutor.updateDBSchema(DBSchemaUpdateExecutor.java:59)
   at org.serviio.MediaServer.main(MediaServer.java:116)

Help please!

does the same happen with a clean install? It looks like it cannot connect to the database.

Thanks. I deleted the old files and copied them once again and it works now. Can you please tell me which files to back up in the future so that my settings & licence details won't be lost?

normally it'd be the library folder, but it might be the one you had a problem with
