I've followed the installation instructions to get ezFind running on CentOS5 with eZ4.0.0.

I have eZComponents, JRE and eZFind installed. Everything looks good but when I run start.jar, I get errors the following errors. Have I missed something or do I need to configure something?

[root@centos5 java]# java -jar start.jar

Just spent a bit figuring this one out myself. CentOS5 installs with an open source JRE alternative (libgcj) which is overriding your Java JRE installation.

If you haven't yet installed the Java JRE, get the RPM here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Install that, then manually relink /usr/bin/java to the new binary, which should be here:
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_05/bin/java

To relink:
ln -sf /usr/java/jre1.6.0_05/bin/java /usr/bin/java

Then try to start solr again and it should work.
