Hi, Thank you for responding. Below are the commands I used to check java. i am confused because which java is reading /usr/bin/java; i think it should be /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_20. As you see from the alternatives command, I have set the default java to /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_20/bin/java;
Please advise. What is the difference between java_home and jre_home? [r...@www2 conf]# which java /usr/bin/java [r...@www2 conf]# alternatives --config java There are 3 programs which provide 'java'.
