Using "forge-1.12.2-14.23.4.2705-installer.jar" fails installation.

It gives the following error code.

I've already placed the 1.12.2 server jar from Mojangs websites in the same directory as this, so it shouldn't be failing. The directory is /root/minecraft btw. (root being the folder, not the actual VFS root "/" )

 

https://pastebin.com/nNCfbXjX Here is the pastebin that contains the log.

 

This is a headless server, so I am unable to use a GUI. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me install it.

    You need to rename the minecraft jar to "minecraft_server.1.12.2.jar" for the Forge installer to detect it properly. 

    This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

     

    As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

    The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

    If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

     

    For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

    It still gives another error. Here's the pastebin link. I used the same command, after renaming the server.jar file. https://pastebin.com/BHRU6e7N

    Try putting  

    -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

    before your -jar argument

    cd /root/minecraft

    java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.4.2705-installer.jar --installServer

    Leads to the same error. I've also made sure my DigitalOcean Droplet's firewall was off.

    javax.net.ssl.SSLException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

     

    Only thing google tells me is your JRE is not installed correctly.

    Run using a different JRE or re-install your java.

    I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

    Why doesn't Java 9 work with Forge? Where does the software let us know that?

     

    Anyways, I've installed Java 8, and it doesn't seem to work still, giving the same error.

    If its giving you the same error then SOMETHING is broken with your JVM. Or your trust chains. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6784463/error-trustanchors-parameter-must-be-non-empty for more info. This isn't a Forge or installer issue. Its something wrong with your server.

     

    As for Forge not working on J9, the installer will work fine on it. However LaunchWrapper, the core loading system assumes some things about the classpath that J9 breaks. It'll just error when you try and actually run the server. As I said, the installer will work fine. As for where this is told yo you, in the error, and in our EAQs
