Unable to launch madsonic (Debian Wheezy)

Unread post by b1555457 »

I installed java 7 version 1.7.0_65 along jre-7-headless then installed madsonic 5.1.5200, however when it finishes and tries to start, or I try to manually start it, it doesn't start. My madsonic_sh.log shows this

Code: Select all

Perhaps you missed a step in installation for Debian?
As the main exception really seems to be it could not find the Main class in the booter...which is really bad. Not the java version so much.

Code: Select all

Could not find the main class: org.madsonic.booter.Main. Program will exit.
However just to be sure you do have the correct jre/jvm setup what is the output of?

Code: Select all

java -version
How are you starting madsonic?
