Greetings,

I have a new CentOS 5 server on which I am attempting to load a backup program for testing. The installation process is failing early on, and the failure appears to point to a particular .jar file.

Support asked for the output of "jar xf setup.jar" to determine whether there is a problem with the file. However, when I attempt to run the command, I get an en error that the command is not found. A search of the filesystem locates no jar executables or symlinks, so I thought maybe I missed a package during the install process.

Attempts to determine the theoretically missing package have not been fruitful. I did come across a reference to simply running "yum install java", but that says that it's already installed and at the latest version, then helpfully adds "Nothing to do"

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,

Ted

the command "jar xf setup.jar" is used to extract the contents of the jar file. If you don't have jar (provided by jdk), you can use unzip, as jar files are actually zipped archives.

Thanks bathory,

That got me the information that I needed to get back to product support.
