Trying to install elasticsearch on ubuntu 12; running into JAVA_HOME problems

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am having stupid NooB problems with elasticsearch getting it going on
ubuntu

I have followed https://gist.github.com/2026107 (s/19.0/19.9) and installed
JDK 7, and setup JAVA_HOME

however it is compaining when I try to start the service, "no JDK found -
please set JAVA_HOME"

yet both echo $JAVA_HOME and sudo echo $JAVA_HOME give me "/usr/bin/java"

Any suggestions?

As far as I'm aware of the application appens "/bin/java" to the JAVA_HOME
path. So try setting this:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr

Sometimes on ubuntu, you can run the update alternatives command to pick
the main java executable referenced by the OS:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

I would suspect that it's still pointing to some alternative Java version
that is not compatible...
