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 :(
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... :(
Here we go - as soon as i try to connect with the client (using 4.4.1 as i could not find an older version) the client says 'upgrading' and the engine output shows me the updates.
Upgrading to 3.5.3 3.6.3 3.6.4 3.6.5 3.7.0. 4.2.0 -> all went fine.
Coming to 4.3.0 i get the following error and the service stops running:

Stephen I do not know if you were asking me about why I upgraded to 7 but here goes.
I upgrade to 7 originally when I installed CrashPlan_3.6.4_Linux and I was running the original Java 6 that came with my readynas business pro. I couldn't get it to work but then I upgraded the global Java via EJRE Installer ReadyNAS add-on and it worked. When 4.3 came out I noticed that it installed its' own local Java and now that 4.4.1 came out it did not (at least that is the behavior on my nas). I was going through some code and I found that Crashplan checks to see if and or what Java version you have and determines whether or not to install a local version. Unfortunately this type of check changes between versions and sometimes does not work.
If you look at the code in /root/crashplan-install/install.sh it has those checks for Java but like I wrote it works in one version and not another very odd.
