I have downloaded Neo4J enterprise from the Neo site and have untar'd it under /opt
I have successfully downloaded and installed the Java 7 Server edition from the Oracle web site. Note after indicating I want a server JRE, Oracle downloads this : jdk1.7.0_51
I have untar'd both under /opt giving me /opt/neo4j-2.0.0 and /opt/jdk1.7.0_51
I have successfully installed Neo4J 2.O on AWS with Centos Linux, such that it should run as a Service under a service account. To do this I used the Neo install command. The command ran successfully
I can successfully start Neo4J as myself. After editing my ~/.bash_profile to define JAVA_HOME and exporting.
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.7.0_51/"
export NEO4J_HOME="/opt/neo4j-2.0.0"
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$NEO4J_HOME:$PATH
Apply source ~/.bash_profile
cd /$NEO$J_HOME
bin/neo4j start
Works just fine.
However, we are not able to successfully get Neo to start as a service
sudo service neo4j-service start
which: no java in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)
ERROR: Unable to find java. (Cannot execute )
* Please use Oracle(R) Java(TM) 7 to run Neo4j Server. Download "Java Platform (JDK) 7" from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
* Please see http://docs.neo4j.org/ for Neo4j Server installation instructions.
If I echo $JAVA_HOME it returns as expected If I echo $PATH it returns as expected
by as expected we can see java on the path.
If I simply type java -version before I run sudo service neo4j-service start the response shows the java version.
A bit of background: the Linux service command is not available unless I first run a special script per our normal it policies. However, the script clobbers the exports that I would otherwise use.
Accordingly the command service neo4j-service start
returns -bash: neo4j-service: command not found
indicating that the 'service' command cannot be found
So sudo is required in our environment to execute the service command
We have tried simply placing jdk1.7.0_51 under /sbin/jdk1.7.0_51 that does not work. We have also tried extracting the jre folder from jdk1.7.0_51 and placing it under /sbin/jre
Also tried creating a java.sh file under /etc/profile.d/
Still no success.
So the simple question....
Where is Neo4J 2.0.0 looking for Java when running as a service? Is it using the environment variable JAVA_HOME, or is it looking in one of the following locations as the Neo4J server error message would seem to indicate? "no java in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)"
Under my installation configuration the neo4j service is intended to run under the account neo4jservice. Is this as simple as making sure JAVA_HOME is available to the neo4jservice accound? Why the error message "no java in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)"?
Thanks in advance
