Question

Tried everything but it just wont work, im running tomcat7 on an EC2 instance (amazon AWS). I can start up tomcat7 manually by starting startup.sh, but not automatically on startup. The error message I get in logs/catalina.out is the following:

/etc/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/bin/catalina.sh: 1: eval: /etc/jdk1.7.0_07/bin/java: not found

My enviroment variables are also setup properly:

echo $JAVA_HOME -> /etc/jdk1.7.0_07/bin/java
echo $PATH -> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin/:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/etc/jdk1.7.0_07/bin

I can also type “java -version” in shell getting proper output, however “/etc/jdk1.7.0_07/bin/java -version” does not work and only returns “No such file or directory“.

Im really not sure what to do now, feels like i tried everything, hope someone can help me!
Also the instance is running Ubuntu server 12.04.

Do sudo su vi /etc/bash.bashrc and copy following

JAVA_HOME=/etc/jdk1.7.0_07 //you have to only specify path until java dir not bin
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH
