Cant install Java

[Kev Lau]

I tried to install Java with Apache Solr the easy way using this tutorial:-

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-solr-on-ubuntu-14-04

If you want to install Solr the easy way, you should use this section of the article. Solr doesn't work alone; it needs a Java servlet container such as Tomcat or Jetty. In this article, we'll use Jetty, although Tomcat is just as easy. First, we should install the Java JDK. If you want to install a custom version, please see this article. If you want a simple installation, execute the following commands:

sudo apt-get -y install openjdk-7-jdk
mkdir /usr/java
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 /usr/java/default

Ubuntu provides 3 Solr packages by default: solr-common, the package that contains the actual Solr code; solr-tomcat, Solr integrated with Tomcat; and solr-jetty, which is just like solr-tomcat but with the Jetty web server. In this article, we will install solr-tomcat, so execute the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install solr-tomcat

Your Solr instance should now be available at http://YOUR_IP:8080/solr. Skip the next section on installing manually if you want to configure Solr.

Now I am getting this error:-

opt/solr# java -v
Unrecognized option: -v
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Someone please help me fix this!
Thanks!

I also get that same error when I run "java -v", it's just that '-v' is an invalid argument, the correct flag is '-version' (assuming that's what you intended):

$ java -v

Unrecognized option: -v
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

HTH,

Can u try as below and let me knwo

If you are running on Windows you should run with IBM JVM provided with WebSphere not with hotspot. So try to clear JAVA_HOME and PATH system variables from paths pointing to Oracle JVM. Then open command line, go to C:\IBM\SDP\runtimes\base_v7\bin and run manageprofiles script using correct parameters. Template path in your first try is for sure incorrect. No jvmhooks or Mercury stuff shouldnt be picked up during profile creation.

It amuses to this day that this has never been fixed. No one in hell should that be a "fatal exception" - I understand why it is, but that message has always seemed overly....dramatic.

$ java -e
Unrecognized option: -g
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. This command is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit, causing forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

If you fix this error you will have saved the lives of millions of vot^H^H^H coders.
