java execute permission denied

Subentu — Thu, 15 May 2008 09:40:41 GMT

I have a Rx7620 server.

When I try to run java as the user "reports" (java home directory in his home folder - /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin), it gives the following error message:

su: /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java: Execute permission denied.

I added these entries to the .profile file of the user "reports", but it still doesn't work.

export JAVA_HOME=/home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java

export PATH=$PATH:/home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/

The same error message is given when I try to run it as the root.

Can you guys please help me.

Thanks

Please run the java command as follows (using the "./")
./java -version

We need to make sure that the java is really from the mentioned directory.

Also post the output of:
echo $PATH

revert!

is this a new installation?

Post the output of:

It could also be that the version is not right!
Where did you download this software from?

Post more information like:
OS version

why does the "su" come up everytime you run java? Is "java" replaced by a script that contains the su command? Or is it an shell alias?

In the first example the "java" is run without an absolute path so an alias or a script in the PATH would have been picked up before the java binary (the java path is appended at the end of the PATH).

In the second example the ./java is run from the current directory we do not know if you had cd to the java bin directory.

Run the following commands

which java
alias java
file /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java
what /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java

It is possible that you downloaded the wrong platform java RTE.

Thanks for the replies.

I have no idea why su comes up.

I re-ran the commands with absolute paths here:

$ /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java
su: /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java: Execute permission denied.

$ /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java -version
su: /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java: Execute permission denied.

here are the outputs you requested:

$ which java
/home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin//java

$ alias java
java: shell alias not found.

$ file /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java
/home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java: ELF-32 executable object file

$ what /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java
/home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java:

I will check with the installation

Thanks

ehhh

home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04/bin/java: ELF-32 executable object file

You running a 32bit version on a 64 bit server!

which java version did you download and what OS version are you running?

RX means that you need the "itanium JRE 6.0.0" from

Did the java in /home/reports/apps/javaapp/jre1.6.0_04 come with the "report application" that you are using? If so maybe they supplied the wrong version and you should check with them. I you installed it yourself, download the correct one from the web site.

The HP-UX provides java under /opt so you could try the system supplied one by adjusting the JAVA variables for the "reports" user. Or, after you install the right version and platform in /opt, create a symbolic link in /home/reports/apps/javaapp pointing to the /opt/java1.6 area. You may have to adjust the link paths up or down one level depending on the installation directory tree.

So? There is nothing wrong with that. HP-UX is quite happy running 32 bit applications.
But there is something missing on the end:
/usr/bin/ksh: ELF-32 executable object file - IA64

So the problem could be due to running a foreign devil java.

You can also get just "ELF-32 executable object file" if you are on 11.11 and you use file(1) on an IPF executable.
