[SOLVED] Screenconnect - Stopped Working

scottalanmiller

Well you can't argue that Java isn't a lot more secure now!

scottalanmiller

I would start here and see if this works...

yum -y install java

Let's experiment. This will install the open source Java replacement that Red Hat ships natively.

WTF. The server was working fine the whole time!

DNS was updated by mistake.....

Boy do I feel silly.

scottalanmiller

LOL. It's generally the simplest things that get us

Alex Sage

I went to the IP, and working fine.... So I was like hmmmmmmmmm.

Alex Sage

So should I remove Java now?

scottalanmiller

Yes, you should remove it.

Sadly, renaming the thread after the title has been posted breaks links to the threads. That is something that we wish NodeBB would address.

@scottalanmiller And reboot? or is that the windows admin in me? =P

There is a new Q&A module that we are considering to allow the site to designated questions versus discussions and a way to mark them as answered.

As a fellow Windows admin... I spend 1/3 of my work day waiting on a server to reboot... and another 1/3rd of my work day trying to figure out why it didn't do what I told it to do before I rebooted it.

It's amazing how long Windows takes to reboot. CentOS reboots on a VM can take easily under thirty seconds from the time that the command is issued. And saying "reboot" is so much faster than navigating to a Windows and selecting an option. I'm always amazing at how quickly I can get back into a UNIX system that just rebooted.

Did I not remove it right?

Did you do a yum -y remove java

Yup.

That's all that you need to do. Sometimes installers leave things behind, which sucks. Might be empty files though. Often configs are left behind in case you need to restore.
