Unfortunately this isn't enough either. What download link did you use?

This information doesn't match the screenshot that you sent earlier in this post.

from this page
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en

I've chosen the version Linux x64, downloaded it from this link
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/A...eId=101400

the instructions I have been using are these
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/lin...nstall.xml

the screenshot reflects the command "java -version"

I do not know the reason why the two do not match ...

I thank you so much for your help ...

You can use this tutorial to install the correct version of java. Steps 2, 8 and 9 are particularly important. The jre-8u31-linux-x64.tar.gz file that you already have should be fine if you got it from the Oracle website.

If you use this approach for installation, you need to have your PATH set up so that the correct java executable is found before the default system version of Java. The instructions that you used don't include this vital step.

A simple way to do this on most Linux systems is to run the command:

sudo ln -s /usr/java/jre1.8.0_31/bin/java /usr/local/bin

This assumes that you installed Oracle Java in the /usr/java directory.

Sorry for reviving an old thread but i am now having this same issue. After I installed Minimserver on Lubuntu yesterday it worked great until I restarted my pc. Even after I used the stopall command i still get this error after doing startc. Also, when I click on the desktop icon nothing happens. I have autostart and desktop integration enabled.

Any ideas?

[simoncn]

This message means you already have an instance of MinimServer running and using the same HTTP port number. This instance was probably started by your autostart setting.

Thank you for the reply. I understand that this problem is caused by multiple instances of Minimserver running but why is this happening? I have it set to autostart. Is that wrong? What should the setting be to avoid this? And why when I use the stopall function then startc do i still get this error?
