first how did you install java 1.8 on a VERY OLD version of 6
i am betting you did NOT use the correct way
1)remove/ uninstall the already installed OpenJDK 1.6 or 1.7
2)install the oracle repo
3)use yum to install java 1.8
redhat is not even supporting 6.0 , the current in the 6 series is 6.8
6.0 was released in Nov. of 2010
to double check your redhat version please run and post the results of this
Code:
su -

cat /etc/redhat-release
