Eventually everyone managed to get Java 1.8 on and things were good again. But just in the last few days CrashPlan has stopped backing up, and lo and behold, it's failing to apply updates again. Thankfully the partition isn't full (yet).
I looked at its most recent failure log and it seems to be saying it's not compatible with Java 1.8, and it's trying to download 1.7, but failing because it doesn't recognise the https certificate:

My pro-6 is running 4.2.28 firmware. I'd installed Java 1.8 in /usr/local/bin (which is still there).
Crashplan sucessfully upgraded on 25 March to version 4.6.0. It has installed Java 1.7 in /usr/local/crashplan/jre - not sure exactly when that happened, but I am thinking it was 14 March.
Backups are happening normally, including files successfully backed up today.
I am still having trouble with my Crashplan updating. The log shows the following:

A little background. I too upgraded to 1.8 a few months ago because of the upgrade failures we expereienced last time. I also applied the glib6.2.13 upgrade as described here. So I was good for a while until 4.6. I've seen some previous posts suggesting to edit .wgetrc file to disable certificate checks, but that didnt' work for me. Maybe I did it wrong. But this is what i followed. In my $HOME directory there was no .wgetrc file so I ended up just creating one. Do I have to bounce the readynas for it to take affect? I am running a ReadyNAS Ultra + 4. Anyhow, my update keeps failing and my partition keeps getting filled up. Any help would be appreciated.
I am having problems as well. Upgrade to 4.6 is failing due to having Java 1.8 installed. I had to install it when Crashplan released version 4.5 several weeks ago. The log shows as follows:
ReadyNAS:/usr/local/crashplan/log# cat upgrade.1435813200460_382.1459956386859.log

I read another thread that suggested disabling wget cert verifcation. I tried it, but it didn't work. Basically the thread said to modify my .wgetrc file. But a side note, I did not find a .wgetrc file in my home directory. So i ended up creating one. Also, after i create a .wgetrc file, do I have to bounce my readynas? Anyway help would be greatly appreciated.
I downloaded the jre manually from the link Crashplan was trying to us, extracted it to the /usr/local/crashplan/jre directory, and changed install.vars to point to it. Now I'm getting this error:
Which I assume is because whatever user the crashplan service is running under doesn't have access to the java directory. But the permissions on that directory have read and execute for group and all users, owned by root. So I'm a bit confused now.
I would say you could just download it manually yourself as I have, but you may end up with the same problem.
I got it to work following this thread. I had followed it before but i had a typo in the string I added in the .wgetrc file (not used to vi). Anyways. Hopefully this helps you.
