Failed to start Cloudera Director Server. Return value: 3 [FAILED]

[#1]

After following the steps that are found in the below link the following error happens.

Command:

sudo service cloudera-director-server start

Error message:
Failed to start Cloudera Director Server. Return value: 3 [FAILED]

When I review the java version 

Command: echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_151

No errors took place during the install. 

[#2]

Which OS are you using? Also can you check the Director server log if it's present, it should be at /var/log/cloudera-director-server/application.log

[#3]

OS: Linux 7.2

That log file is not present 

Here are the only files in that location 

4 -rw-r--r--. 1 cloudera-director cloudera-director 307 Dec  6 23:17 cloudera-director-server.out

[#4]

Any helpful information in cloudera-director-server.out ?

[#5]

The log file was empty. 

[#6 · Accepted solution]

Issue was resolved with a reinstall of JAVA and then using the command: /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java  

[#7]

kindly install java
