Hi all - installation problems on linux

[overbyte]

I'm just starting out with electro server and i'm having a few problems getting going.

I've managed to get electro server running on my local machine (using os x 10.3) with no problems but i get the error java:

./StartElectroServer.sh: java: command not found

after i use the command:

./StartElectroServer.sh
from within the correct folder on the remote server (a shared Linux hosted server [with Apache vs 1.3.31 (Unix)])

The server is running the following:
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0, mixed mode)

and i have had .jsp support installed (although i don't think that should affect electro server)

Has anyone had any experience of this and could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot

Hi overbyte,
Could You check if You can run any other .jar or if You have standard JRE or SDK installed?

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03/bin/java -version and paste here results,

thanks a lot for your help guys

i have tried to run /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/java -version but i get the following error:
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/java: No such file or directory

so i've an idea that the problem is bigger than simply not running the server

i'll keep this thread posted to let you know how this gets resolved

Hi overbyte,
Remember that "/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03/bin/java -version" was an example command (Sorry, that I don't wrote that).
You must fill correct path to installation folder of Your JAVA installation. Simply I don't remember how to invoke java setting on Linux in another way,

no problem ;) - in my correspondence with my host support - they suggested to do the same command (with the same path) so i'm waiting on confirmation from them on what the problem might be
