New Install - HQ Agent - Invalid JAVA HOME

[jimesti]

Hi,

Just installed the server and then the agent on a brand new Centos 5.3. I used the 32 bit RPM builds.

The server went fine.

Howevever, the agent won't start - when I go service hyperic-hq-agent status it tells me:

Invalid Java Home detected at /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12

That export is in the hyperic-hq-agent script in the /etc/init.d....but there is no /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_12 directory on my server.

What step during install did I miss? Was I supposed to install java along the way?

K...did more reading and it looks like the RPM version does not include the JDK/JRE (whatever).

Is there a nice yum install command to get it installed on Centos?

Correct, RPM version of HQ Agent is noJRE.

And I'm pretty sure the Sun JRE is not distributed with CentOS, so you'll need to grab it from java.sun.com.

I installed jre-6u11-linux-i586.rpm (downloaded from sun website).

You'll have to make some modifications /etc/init.d/hyperic-hq-agent
modify the java home line to read:
export HQ_JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default

Then everything should be fine.

I am having the same problems, but I can't get it to work.

[root@LXEN-1 bin]# rpm -qa | grep jre
jre-1.6.0_20-fcs
[root@LXEN-1 bin]# echo $HQ_JAVA_HOME
/usr/java/default
[root@LXEN-1 bin]# ls /home/hyperic/hq-plugins/
xen-plugin.jar

I am curious to see if HQ supports the latests version of XenServer.
Thank You very much for your assistance.
