[opencms-dev] Installation Step 5 (/opencms/ocsetup) gives Null Pointer Exception

[Carsten Kaemmerer]

Hi all!

I just tried to install OpenCms with no success.

Used Versions:
linux (debian woody),
tomcat4 (4.0.3), 
j2sdk1.4.0 from Sun,
opencms_4.6.1_major.zip

I followed the instructions in install.html and at step 5 (browse to the
'Setup-Wizard'), I called 'http://localhost:8180/opencms/ocsetup'.  (The
tomcat4 from debian woody seems to listen on port 8180.)

Then I get the following Page with a Trace, caused by a
'java.lang.NullPointerException'.

Uups, whats wrong here?  

Page Output:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Apache Tomcat/4.0.3 - HTTP Status 500 - Internal Server Error



type Exception report

message Internal Server Error

description The server encountered an internal error (Internal Server
Error) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
