Incompatible java version

[berndtj]

When installing lightwave server via tdnf install vmware-lightwave-server, jre 1.8.0.131 is installed:

root@ip-172-20-40-102 [ ~ ]# tdnf -y install vmware-lightwave-server

Installing:
...
openjre                                                    x86_64                1.8.0.131-1.ph1                            219.34 M

Complete!

This is not the expected version:

root@ip-172-20-40-102 [ ~ ]# export PATH=$PATH:/opt/vmware/bin:/opt/likewise/bin
root@ip-172-20-40-102 [ ~ ]# configure-lightwave-server --domain kops.bjung.net --password 'VMware!1' --hostname 34.210.152.203

/opt/vmware/bin/configure-lightwave-server: line 386: /var/opt/OpenJDK-1.8.0.112-bin/bin/java: No such file or directory
PSC Installation failed.

I updated the scripts in /opt/vmware/bin and was able to continue. Though this seems rather brittle.

Solved this issue by first installing a very specific version of commons-daemon:

tdnf install -y commons-daemon-1.0.15-8.ph1 openjre-1.8.0.112 apache-tomcat-8.5.8

Hi Jung,
Thank you for reporting. Lightwave is currently sticky on specific version of JAVA installation.We will consider addressing this issue.

[berndtj]

You don't need to rev the version, just fix the package to pull the specific version of commons-daemon. As-is, the package is broken.

The issue seems to be with the installation of openjre8 on Photon3 which is failing to update /etc/alternatives.

[phoenyx762]

Thanks for the reply!!! Do you believe updating to openjre10 or higher would correct this issue? Since downgrading just does not seem to be an option.

[snambakam]

Unfortunately that does not help. Here is a temporary workaround while we fix the issue and submit a fix.

1. tdnf install -y lightwave
2. rpm -q --scripts openjre8 | grep -v postuninstall | grep -v posttrans > /tmp/test.sh
3. mv /etc/alternatives/jre/lib/ext /tmp
4. rm -rf /etc/alternatives/jre
5. bash /tmp/test.sh
6. mv /tmp/ext/*.jar /etc/alternatives/jre/lib/ext/
7. Edit /etc/hosts entries as per https://github.com/vmware/lightwave#set-up-the-hostname-for-the-instance
   Essentially, if the domain name is going to be lightwave.local and your hostname is photon-test, hostname should return photon-test and hostname -f should return photon-test.lightwave.local
8. /usr/bin/configure-lightwave-server --domain lightwave.local --password 'VMware123$'

Thanks for the reply. With the workaround the installation was successful this time. Now I am unable to access the web page as stated in step 5 (https://vmware.github.io/photon/assets/files/html/3.0/photon_installation/Installing-Lightwave-Server-and-Setting-Up-a-Domain.html) is there something else which I may be missing? I did add "--ssl-subject-alt-name " to the end of the configure-lightwave-server command since I would need to add users and groups.
