Mirth Connect Version 3.5.0.8232 Cannot Start Service


I installed Mirth Connect version 3.5.0.8232 on a Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. It appeared to be installed successfully. However, I clicked on Start to start the Mirth Connect service, and it gave the error message "The Mirth Connect Service could not be started." I checked the log file, and it had the exception message. Looking at the server Manager, it looked like the service did start because the start button is disable and the restart, stop, refresh, and administrator are enable. Does anyone has an idea how to resolve this issue?

If I clicked on the Administrator button, it gave the following message (will post the exception message for the administrator screen at the very bottom):

Could not load file/URL specified: http://localhost:8080/webstart.jnlp?maxHeapSize=512m

Solution

  • This could be due to using an incompatible JRE. Make sure you're using the official Oracle JRE version 8 or higher. What specific version are you using now?

    Make sure also that if you're running the 64-bit distribution of Mirth Connect, use the 64-bit version of Java.
