Solved Help installing java 7...Redhat / centos :l

Not sure where to post this but, i am using centos redhat, and i cant install the latest java version :l it always installs java 6 with yum install java :l Any help? This is causing my bukkit plugins to not work.

 

You have to manually download it from the Oracle website, put it on your server, unpack, install. Just google 'How to install Java 7 CentOS'.

 

Can you please tell me how :l

Yeah. Oracle is a bioooch, you have to accept their terms when you download it now, so you have to upload it via FileZilla, WinSCP, or whatever you use, THEN extract and install it.

 

lol...can you explain how to do this...

 

Sure can!
Download this file. http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=68235
Open FileZilla (I'm going to assume that's what you use, if not, I don't know. :\)
Connect to your server.
Switch to your PuTTY terminal, type in mkdir /usr/java/
Still in PuTTY, type in cd /usr/java/
Now, go back to FileZilla and go to Remote Site: /usr/java
Drag the file you just downloaded (jre-7u7-linux-x64.rpm) over to the remote site.
Let the upload finish in FileZilla, Then switch back to PuTTY.
Type this in the terminal. : rpm -i jre-7u7-linux-x64.rpm
Give it a minute to finish it's magic.
Type in java -version
If it doesn't work, Either I told you something incorrect, or you did it wrong. If I told you something wrong and it doesn't work, I'll help you tomorrow.

Double post, I know, I'm sorry.
kittenchunks -- I'll give some pictures in a moment.

FileZilla (open) FileZilla (close)

I'm already connected to my server in the above picture.

mkdir (open) mkdir (close)

cd (open) cd (close)

Filezilla cd (open) Filezilla cd (close)

NOTE; YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANYTHING IN HERE. I ALREADY HAVE JAVA INSTALLED.
Drag jre-7u7-linux-x64.rpm to Remote Site (Should still be /usr/java)
Once the upload finishes, it shoul have the file in there.
Go back to PuTTY

rpm -i jre-7u7-linux-x64.rpm (open) rpm -i jre-7u7-linux-x64.rpm (close)
