Issues with Starting Pentaho Community Edition server

I'm trying to install Pentaho Community Edition 7.0 BA server on CentOS 6.8 and getting the following error.

HTTP Status 404 - /pentaho

type Status report

message /pentaho

description The requested resource is not available. Apache Tomcat/8.0.37

The file I downloaded and unzipped was pentaho-server-ce-7.0.0.0-25.zip

I've checked the ports (8080, and 9092) and they are open and listening. I tried to change tcp port to 9093, but still does not work.

I thoguht it worked out of the box but I'm having trouble.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

The same thing happened to me when installing on Ubuntu 16.04.

It turned out to be the Java version being used. Since I am running several versions of PDI alongside each other, I have both Java 7 and 8 installed and it was picking the 7.

The proper solution is to configure the PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the java 8 installation, for example "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle". I couldn't do that without breaking some older applications.

What I ended up doing is hacking start-pentaho.sh, commenting out the lines involving setPentahoEnv and instead putting the hardcoded values:

_PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle _PENTAHO_JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java

Fill in your own Java paths obviously and don't forget the starting underscores.
