HTTP ERROR 404 while installing java 7 on Ubuntu 14.04

I am trying to install java 7 on Ubuntu 14.04 following the instructions at Installing Java 7 on Ubuntu .

When I try to install java 7, I get a HTTP 404 ERROR.

Does anybody know if installing java 7 using these instructions is still supported?

Am I missing something that is obvious to everybody else and not to me‽

Thank you in advance for advice.

I executed the following commands as per the instructions:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

Here is the output:

You are getting 404 error meaning page not found. It looks like though the connection was established package manager could not download the tar.gz file.

If it is some internal error from oracles site retry should so it. However if you are behind some proxy that is not allowing this transfer there is not much you can do.

Either way try doing

wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u60-b19/jdk-7u60-linux-.tar.gz?AuthParam=1409603301_59d736536b051796a298904fd90f70bd

and see if you can download the file.
