ArcGIS Server Linux 10.7 Installation error

QiushengWu2 — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 19:43:55 GMT

Hello,

I encountered an error "Invocation of this Java Application has caused an ExceptionInInitializerError. This application will now exit. (LAX) " when trying to install ArcGIS Server Linux 10.7 on Manjaro Linux KDE. However, ArcGIS Server Linux 10.6 installation works fine. Any help will be appreciated!

That OS is not listed as a supported OS at 10.6:

https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/system-requirements/10.6/linux/arcgis-server-system-requirements.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_B26370BE05834D038A68064E07B8036E

Unfortunately, there's no expectation that Server, or any Enterprise product for that matter, will work on unsupported operating systems, even if it worked at prior versions.

ArcGIS Server is not supported on that distribution of Linux. ArcGIS Server 10.7 system requirements—ArcGIS Enterprise system requirements | ArcGIS Enterprise

As to why it might have worked at 10.6 but doesn't at 10.7, we did change the version of the Java instance used in the installer. It is either incompatible with, or missing some dependencies from, your Linux OS.

I was able to install it on Manjaro Linux using the console mode: sh Setup -m console
