Mirth Installation

[chrisA]

How do you install the program once you download the zip? I'm not familiar with Java apps.

Chris,

After you download and unzip Mirth, simply run "Mirth.bat" (if you are on Windows) or chmod +x Mirth.sh then ./Mirth.sh if you are on Linux/Unix/OS X.

Once the Mirth server has started, you can start the client GUI by going to http://localhost:8080.

Re: Mirth Installation

I am trying to run Mirth on Fedora Core 6 with JRE version 1.5.0_07-b03.

I untarred the distribution and ran the 'shell.sh' script which produced the following message on the console;

com.webreach.mirth.client.core.ClientException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
	at com.webreach.mirth.client.core.ServerConnection.executePostMethod(ServerConnection.java:89)

I checked that there were no other ports listening on 8443, which appears to be the port that the server listens.

The content of the 'shell.sh' script is;

#!/bin/sh
java -jar shell.jar -a https://127.0.0.1:8443 -u admin -p admin

Re: Mirth Installation

Hey gturrill,

What are you trying to do? If you are trying to start "Mirth", in which case I am referring to the server-side app, you need to run "mirth.sh", NOT "shell.sh". When you run "shell.sh", it is trying to connect to the server, and if you haven't already started the server with "mirth.sh", it is unable to connect, so your connection will be "refused".

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Aaron.

Re: Mirth Installation

Hi aaron,

Thanks for the quick response. Yes it was the case that I was putting the cart before the horse. It must have been the lateness of the day.

Unfortunately, when I now run 'mirth.sh', I am getting the following error;

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.Logger.trace(Ljava/lang/Object;«»)V
        at com.webreach.mirth.server.launcher.ClasspathBuilder.getClasspath(ClasspathBuilder.java:77)
        at com.webreach.mirth.server.launcher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:36)

I have checked that

log4j-1.2.13.jar

is in the

lib

directory and that the CLASSPATH variable is pointing to it.

I'm obviously missing something and the JVM is somehow not locating the log4j jar file. Permissions aren't an issue, so it must be something else. Any ideas !!

The problem is now resolved. I downloaded the latest JRE (1.6.0_01) and installed it in a directory immediately below the base mirth install and modified the 'mirth.sh' script to explicitly run the JRE from this installation.

There is obviously an incompatibility with the JRE I was trying to use.
