JRE_HOME

[Adam Cameron]

G'day:

I just did another Lucee Express "install", and when I started it up, it bleated about me not having a JRE_HOME environment variable set. OK, this is true, but I'm wondering why my JAVA_HOME didn't suffice here?

I can't ever recall having to set a JRE_HOME variable before (this could be an artifact of bad memory, that said ;-)

Railo Express came bundled with a JRE

Lucee does not

We decided no longer to provide Lucee with 5 different versions of the Eexpress, because we assumed Java will not be the issue for most people...

None of these comments really answers (or even addresses) my question.

That explains a lot.

I did a fresh install of Lucee instead of migrating from Railo and was surprised that it failed because of JRE (didn't recall that I had to do so with Railo)

In addition, I was running JDK v1.6 on Mac Yosemite, and the error was probably not clear what it was. 

Upgrading to JDK v1.8 to match Tomcat requirements seems to solve the issue.

I need to check, are you sure java_home is set?

Micha,

Please refer to Adam's blog post about the express install, there are some wrinkles.

Thanks

Aha... it was set, but not to a valid value. Once I sorted that out, I don't need the JRE_HOME value.

Makes sense!

My JAVA_HOME var was set, to a valid value, and I had the problem documented in the other thread.

After seeing this thread, I set JRE_HOME to point to the JRE inside that same JDK in startup.bat, and everything works, so thanks much for that.

No sure if this is the right solution or not, given that Micha has said (I think) that something needs to be fixed for that build in Windows.

[Michael Offner]

the fix for me is, not depending on JRE_HOME...

I did the same thing as Peter. Wanting to do a clean install not a migration. I followed step by step the express setup instructions.. The first time I ran the startup.bat the first thing it did was complain about my environment variables. a quick check of the system variables showed I had the following set. CATALINA_HOME, JAVA_HOME. and TOMCAT_HOME. I added the system variable JRE_HOME and poof up and running.
