Failed While running elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I am trying to run elasticsearch after installation and getting the following error:

I checked everywhere and it looks like the problem is with the Java version.

I asked to upgrade the Java version, it was done, but still same error.

See below:

vpadmin@hbdchv016!:/var/log> java -version
java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)

vpadmin@hbdchv016!:/var/log> which java
/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_31_64/bin/java

I also checked the PATH:

echo $PATH
/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_31_64/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/local/bin:/tsanas/tsa/tooladm/scripts

This is the installation we use for new Java installations:

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 326768640 Mar 1 11:01 jdk-8u31-linux-i586.tar
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 327393280 Mar 1 11:02 jdk-8u31-linux-x64.tar

Who can assist here pls?

Regards,
Sharon.

Did you set JAVA_HOME or something?

FWIW this is a old version of Java8. You should upgrade.
Yours is not supported: https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#show_jvm
