Hi,

I made some progress! I tried the latest MySql and Java. No difference.
So, in the what-the-heck-try-anything spirit, I changed the 'localhost' reference in $JREC_HOME/etc/jreceiver.properties to my actual host name and it worked!
Anyway, this led me to conclude that this line
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
in my /etc/hosts was confusing jrec/jetty. Once I commented this out, I could use localhost again.

If you could check your hosts file to see what yours has, that would be great.

Thanks for all of your help.

Cheers,

Jim.
