[opencms-dev] running JServ

[T. Morgenroth]

Hello all,
now i'm nearly ready to run openCMS. thanks for your help.
but now i've another problem when calling:

http//192.165.0.15/servlets/opencms/system/workplace/action/start.html	or
http//192.165.0.15/servlets/opencms/examples/index.html

the error-message in .../apachejserv/logs/jserv.log is:
[22/11/2000 13:20:34:561 CET] opencms/com.opencms.core.OpenCmsServlet: init
[22/11/2000 13:20:34:576 CET] java.lang.NullPointerException

i believe it's because the only actions i've done as root-user are:
>mysqladmin create opencms
>mysql opencms < databasesetup.txt
(all other steps i've done as a user who is in the group 'root')

was this my failure or is their also another explanation for this error?
