Issue while installing fisheye

While installing fisheye 3.0.2 in linux

I am facing the issue

[root@esjirq71 log]# tail -f fisheye.out
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.7rh)
at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.7rh)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: com.cenqua.fisheye.FishEyeCtl (unrecognized class file version)

my java version is

[root@esjirq71 log]# java -version
java version "1.7.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_60-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.60-b09, mixed mode)

What version of Java do you have installed? Have you followed the directions here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/Installing+FishEye+on+Linux+and+Mac

That error suggests either running a really old java, or GNU Java, instead of a Oracle/Sun's Java, or OpenJDK

We ran start.sh

but no error was found.

but there is no httpd installed in the server.

Do we have to install?

It seems indeed like an old version of GCJ being used by FishEye. Perhaps your user and the user running FishEye version have different environment settings, as your java output shows you are using Oracle's HotSpot JRE while FishEye is using GCJ.

Check your environment with env command, ensure JAVA_HOME and PATH variables point to HotSpot java and try starting FishEye again.

Kind regards,

What about the env of the user you are starting fisheye as. (I would not recommend running it as root!)
