Unable to start mirth-server-launcher

[abdallahkadour]

I have downloaded the last version NextGen Connect 3.8.0 for Windows x64, which is a zip. I unzipped it and tried to start the jar mirth-server-launcher.jar as adminstrator. But, I got the following error:

WARN  2019-08-04 19:52:12,559 [Main Server Thread] com.mirth.connect.server.Mirth: Could not start web server

Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance.

How did you try to run Mirth as an admin ? If you opened a cmd window as Administrator, and run > java jar -mirth-server-launcher.jar

it should work. Even you are an admin in your PC, by default your operations are constrained. You need elevated rights. As MAC users need sudo.
