I thought this was going to help making launching mirth easier but have run into this error. It seems quite a few people have seen this no there doesnt appear to be any clear solution.

Mirth Launcher and Java 1.8

Hi all! I found myself trying this after a cache clear left me unable to connect to one of my client Mirths. It worked perfectly, but something concerned me - the bundled Java is 1.8 and this still breaks my 3.0.1 sites. I get the "This channel is invalid. Verify all required extensions are loaded correctly." message if I go into Channels.

Per this post, Java 8 and 3.0.1 don't mix - https://www.mirthcorp.com/community/...ad.php?t=10283

Per the post about the launch, the Mirth Launcher supports Connect back to 2.x.

Is there something I need to set or do for the install so that 3.0.1 works? Thank you!

Yeah unfortunately for 3.0.1 you'll have to launch using Java 7 instead. Use the "Custom Java Home" option and point directly to your Java 7 home directory in this case.

The launcher is not saving my connections. Is there a file that is used in the user's home directory that should keep these connections? Or (more likely) are there file permissions that need to be altered in order to store the connections?

Thanks for the explaination..

Thank you - I installed a 1.7 JRE (Ubuntu 18.04, 1.7.0_80) and set that connection to use 1.7's path. I also enabled the Java console but when I launch, the console still shows my machine's 1.8 Java Home and the channels are still uneditable.

Is there anything else I need to do permissions or config-wise to allow the Administrator to see the 1.7 JRE? I tried using /opt/jre1.7.0_80 and /opt/jre1.7.0_80/bin with identical results.

default port 8443

hi,
I've inserted ip and port in the text box Address of the GUI as

https://localhost:8444/webstart

but when the login form opens, the server address becomes
[url]https://localhost:8443
I need the port to remain the one I set in the connection address, that was 8444.

when I used the jnlp files, I modified the file and the desired port was proposed to me.
how do you leave the same port (8444) indicated in the Address text box in the login form?
in any case, great work, thanks

[agermano]

I believe you can set the server.url property in your server's mirth.properties file to the url you want the jnlp file to contain rather than having it build the url based on your other settings.

Hi,

Anyone know if it is possible to install and run Administrator Launcher without the bundled Java 8?

Or if it is possible to replace the bundle 8 with Java 11?

Have tried deleting the bundled java 8 directory and replaced it with java 11, but each way the Administrator Launcher errors on loading.

I know wec point the Launcher to default or custom, but we have request to remove java 8 completely for security reasons.

Thanks in advance.

Hi All. Has anyone run into issues with saving connections on macOS Big Sur? I can create the connections, but if I close and re-open the launcher, the connections are no longer there.

It looks like administrator launcher 1,20 is out now, any release notes? I don't see any obvious changes after install

Hi All. Has anyone run into issues with saving connections on macOS Big Sur? I can create the connections, but if I close and re-open the launcher, the connections are no longer there.

I've found that I need to run the launcher as root to save the connections. After that, I can run as my normal user, unless I need to edit the connections again.
