So, from this, we gather that you really really like using ancient out of date software?

No-one should use CentOS 6.6. It came out in October 2014 so is heading towards 4 years old. There have been numerous high severity security vulnerabilities discovered and fixed since then. You should yum update to 6.9 plus the latest updates ASAP.

In addition, I went looking for the date that java 7u67 was released and that's similarly ancient. I couldn't actually download it without creating an Oracle account but I did find the following text on the Oracle web site: "This JRE (version 7u67) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for October 14, 2014." which means that 7u67 is even older than the CentOS 6.6 you're trying to use.

All of java 7 is EOL and should not be used.

I'd recommend the following:

1) yum update to CentOS 6.9
2) download and install the latest java 8 jdk *RPM* package and install that with yum
3) use the alternatives command to set /usr/java/latest/bin/java and javac as your active java and javac commands respectively
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Look at the alternatives subsystem (man alternatives as a starting point).
