@tpentusiast The controller requires Java version 8. You have a few options. Firstly, make sure you have Java 8 installed on your system. Google the specific package name for this. 
 

1. Change your global Java version to version 8 instead of 11. Adjust the symlinks in /etc/alternatives to do this. This may break other things on your system using Java so be cautious. 

 

2. Use a docker container or similar method to make a container whose Java version is 8. 
 

3. (What I did) Edit /opt/tplink/EAPController/bin/control.sh to the following instead and of what comes out of the install for these 2 lines. You'll have to do this same change each time you upgrade versions. 

JRE_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre"
JAVA_TOOL="${JRE_HOME}/bin/java"

Hi. I was having the same problem, running Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 and the Omada Controller v5.0.30.

 

The startup script /etc/init.d/tpeap has this line:

 

JRE_HOME="$( readlink -f "$( which java )" | sed "s:bin/.*$::" )"

 

If you run that command in the bash script, you'll see which JRE version the startup script is trying to use:

 

echo $( readlink -f "$( which java )" | sed "s:bin/.*$::" )

/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/jre/

 

So in my case, both the java-11-openjdk-amd64 and java-8-openjdk-amd64 directories existed at /usr/lib/jvm/, but this line in the startup script was picking the java-11-openjdk-amd64 directory, hence the error.

 

Instead of modifying the start up script, I uninstalled the java-11-openjdk-amd64 package with the following command:

 

sudo apt remove openjdk-11-jre-headless

 

Make sure you've installed version 8 with:

 

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless

 

This command should now return the correct directory:

 

echo $( readlink -f "$( which java )" | sed "s:bin/.*$::" )

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/

 

And the service should start now:

 

sudo service tpeap stop

sudo service tpeap start

sudo service tpeap status
