Can't start metabase

Can’t start fresh metabase on RHEL 7.

I have installed openjdk 11.0.6.
openjdk 11.0.6 2020-01-14 LTS

When I try to start metabase, I’m always getting the following error:
Metabase Initialization FAILED
liquibase.exception.UnexpectedLiquibaseException: Cannot find ChangeLogHistoryService for unsupported

It created a metabase.db.mv.db file but can’t start metabase.

@noesberger I’m sure there’s more errors than just the final one. Can you post the entire startup log?

@noesberger So the error is Cannot search jar file ‘/home/myuser/metabase.jar’ for classes due to an IOException: invalid distance too far back
I think your JAR file might be corrupted.
Download the latest and verify the check on the release page ( https://github.com/metabase/metabase/releases ) with the downloaded file: sha256sum /home/myuser/metabase.jar

Thanks, this was the problem.
I think the proxy was blocking something.

@kevin01 You're providing very little information.
Download the latest release: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/releases/latest
And make sure you're using Java 11: https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/java-versions.html
If that doesn't work, then it's up to you to provide more information.
