This is where I believe my mistake is. I installed Java on my home computer in response and now I'm working on getting the JAVA_HOME variable set. I thought I created the correct JAVA_HOME environment variable but I found out I was creating it in the top "user" box and not in the bottom "system" box. The "system" box is where my JAVA_HOME environment variable resides on my work computer which has the server installed correctly.
I'm also trying to determine if my PATH environment variable needs to include the path of my JDK directory. On my work computer the JDK directory is not indicated. However I have gotten instruction that this PATH variable needs to be set. So it seems to work without it but I'm no expert. This might be the cause of another problem I'm trying to get around. If you know for certain that this needs to be added to the PATH variable could someone confirm that it is the "system" PATH variable that I need to add the directory to.
