Error when trying to apply 2.11.1 patch

[winstonwaite]

I downloaded a fresh install of SF 2.9 for unices here:

http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/173

And the patch here:

http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/191

I untar and unzip the files and place the patch in the SmartFox

Code: Select all

[root@server SFS2X-Patch-2.11.1]# ./install-linux.sh
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object


I then can cd to the untouched jre directory and try the following:

Code: Select all

[root@server bin]# pwd
/home/user/newSF/NEW/SmartFoxServer_2X/jre/bin
[root@server bin]# ./java -version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object


This is a CentOS box... but don't understand why the included jre isn't starting up. Is the download corrupted? I did not have trouble doing similar on a fresh 2.9 with a 2.10 patch a couple of months ago.

Hi,
the embedded Java runtime is compressed and can't be run out of the box without first running the server.
You will need to run the sfs2x-service at least once to decompress the JRE. After that you can run it.

cheers

Perfect... thanks!
