Crashplan JRE update needed
Crashplan released an update on 21 September 2015 (4.4.0) which fails to install on my pro-6 (running 4.2.28).
The issue is that the new service requires jre 1.7 or jre 1.8, and my system was r...

I tried 4.3.3 after installing java 7 and what i get is:
engine_output.log:
Exiting!!! java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""
[10.09.15 12:22:17.117 INFO main root ] ***** STOPPING *****
i tired to reinstall crashplan and i get lots of errors with cpio. I got around this somehow - yet still it is not starting:
engine_error.log:
Exception in thread "Thread-1" java.lang.NullPointerException

i have no clue what to do :(
I see you are trying to install 4.3.3 they have a newer version 4.4.1 (I beleive it is 4.4.1 - 1435726800441 (2015-07-01T05:00:00:441+0000) - Build: 30) try that version. as far as I can tell this version does not install a seperate JRE as did 4.3.)
I had to unstall 4.3 and reboot and then install 4.4.1 to get mine to work.
My /usr/local/crashplan/install.vars has now changed to:
TARGETDIR=/usr/local/crashplan BINSDIR=/usr/local/bin MANIFESTDIR=/usr/local/var/crashplan INITDIR=/etc/init.d RUNLVLDIR=/etc/rc2.d INSTALLDATE=20151006 APP_BASENAME=CrashPlan DIR_BASENAME=crashplan JRE_X64_DOWNLOAD_URL=http://download.code42.com/installs/proserver/jre/jre-7-linux-x64.tgz JRE_I586_DOWNLOAD_URL=http://download.code42.com/installs/proserver/jre/jre-7-linux-i586.tgz JAVACOMMON=/usr/local/bin/java
My symlink in /usr/local/bin/java now points to /etc/frontview/addons/bin/EJRE/ejre1.7.0_75/bin/java instead of pointing to the JRE that was installed local to Crashplan in 4.3..
They have a newer version 4.4.1.
I had to uninstall 4.3. and reboot and install 4.4.1 to get it to work.
My JAVACOMMON in install.vars now points to "JAVACOMMON=/usr/local/bin/java"
my /usr/local/bin/java now points to my global install instead of the EJRE that was installed locally in Crashplan 4.4/etc/frontview/addons/bin/EJRE/ejre1.7.0_75/bin/java.
My global install is the ejre installed via this link http://minimserver.com/ejre-installer.html.
4.4.1 came out shortly after 4.4.0. After I got java 8 installed, it upgraded first to 4.4.0, and then successfully upgraded to 4.4.1.
Why did you upgrade to java 7 when the current version is 8? Perhaps that is related to the issue.
You can also submit a support request to crashplan. Though their policy is that they don't support headless, they still have provided help to me. I have gotten good support on the tickets I've entered.
Hello,
i did the upgrade to java 7 as this is the latest version for Debian Wheezy (Readynas 516).
I tried with 8 manually - but had the same result...
I installed 4.4.1 (had no 4.4.0) and reinstalled it as well - same problem, null pointer exceptions are thrown in my face.
I do have a ticket open - no answer yet for 1+ days.
What i have done now is, i went back to http://www.shasam.net/blog/2012/3/21/crashplan-on-the-netgear-readynas-x86.html and the download link for that ultra old version is still working. So i installed that - and so farit running. Lets wait what happens on the next auto update... :(
