Solution: Install Java. Specifically the JRE version 1.5. Unlike this report here it has nothing to do with 32/64 bit conflicts, because it’s a 32 bit machine. If you don’t want to install Java, and its associated clutter, then you could try following the advice in the Crashplan readme file about running the UI locally and connecting to the remote crashplan service via the service port:

Remote GUI Config of CrashPlan on a shell account:

What if you have a remote shell account on a box that has SSH access, but no X windows interface or GUI? We’re going to show you how to attach your local desktop CrashPlan UI to the remote CrashPlanEngine on a remote box.

We’ll do this by using SSH to forward local traffic to the GUI control port of the service on the remote machine.

Step 1. Install & start engine on host 1.2.3.4 (this is the far away text only server)

Step 2. Install CrashPlan on your local desktop. (Mac, Windows, Linux, doesn’t matter)

Step 3. In the CrashPlan folder of your local install, there is a folder called “conf”, edit the file called my.ui.properties. Add this as a new line at the bottom of the file and save it. Shut down the GUI, and add this as a new line at the bottom of the file and save it. (If you are running a CrashPlanPRO blue client, substitute 4283 for 4200 in the commands below.)

servicePort=4200

Step 4. We need to forward port 4200 locally to our remote server using SSH. Type this in terminal:

ssh -L 4200:localhost:4243 yourusername@1.2.3.4

Step 5. Run your CrashPlan UI. You’re now connected to remote CrashPlanEngine and can configure it at will.

Step 6. (optional) Pointing your UI back to local crashplan. Edit the “my.ui.properties” and comment out the servicePort change by putting a “#” in front and saving it. That’s it! Next time you use UI it will connect to your local CrashPlan again.

#servicePort=4200

Let me know if it works for you!

It’s great to hear somebody encouraging men to stand up and take responsibility for their relationships – putting them ahead of their pride. Looking forward to the next instalment, Andy!

I know the REISUB article is pretty popular. Some of the other technical bits like Obscure python urllib2 proxy gotcha and Batch file comments have their fair share of visitors, but apart from those, I’ve no idea if anybody looks in on me, here.

If you do, I’d love it if you said, “hi” in the comments!
