Problem with openmrs-standalone.jar

Implementing
1

Hi, I apologize for asking such a basic question, but hopefully the answer will be easy. I have installed the standalone OpenMRS on my Lenevo Thinkpad. I downloaded, and extracted all files from the Zip folder, while having java version “17.0.2”. I also restarted the computer just in case it mattered. Now when I right click on “openmrs-standalone” and Open with Java ™ Platform SE binary, nothing happens whatsoever. I tried, on command prompt to change to the directory of the extracted standalone and type this command:

java -jar openmrs-standalone.jar

and it gave me the the following error:

Attempting to load properties file in current directory: openmrs-standalone-runtime.properties Using runtime properties file: openmrs-standalone-runtime.properties Unrecognized VM option ‘PermSize=256m’ Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. Exit:1 [MysqldResource] Mysqld not running. No file: C:\referenceapplication-standalone-2.12.2\database\data\MysqldResource.pid

Does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you. Charbel.

@charbel you try java versions between 8-15 and see if you still face the same issue

is this valid:

Java Archive Downloads - Java SE 15

And is it okay to add this version file path to “Environment variables > user variables” (if yes under what name)? Same question for this version bin file path to “Environment variables > System variables > Path”? Knowing that the current java version “17.0.2” file path is present in “user variables” under the name “JAVA_HOME”, and the bin file path is present in “Path”.

I sincerely appreciate the assistance, and am deeply sorry for such basic questions or english related errors. Thank you. Charbel.
