Just to let you all no if you dont already.

Do not update java or you may get an error and subsonic will not load.

just stay with the one that installs with subsonic and dont update it when the auto update ask to.

I think the update if v15 or some thing like that.

But updating my java to 15 killed it.

Is this just for playing things through subsonic? Do you know if this is affected on the server level?

The reason I ask is because I don't want my JRE to update on the server if this will break it.

Seems weird that a Java update would kill your Subsonic. Sun is AFAIK pretty good at keeping backward compatibility in updates. However what I have experienced personally with Java on Windows is that one version is never replaced by the newer. Instead the new version is installed on top of the old one. ( At one point I had 7 versions installed :shock: )

I am currently hosting Subsonic on a Linux host ( Fedora 11 ) with java 1.6.0_16 and everything is working just fine.

donpearson, not to encourage you to break your java, but you might consider removing java and then installing the newest update available. :)
