[opencms-dev] installation error with version 5 rc 2

[gwelding at softhome.net]

Hi, 

try to install the latest build on a W2K PC using: 

Tomcat 4.1.12
MySQL 3.23.54 

I did include, according to the installation notes, the CATALINA_OPTS 
setting for UTF-8, copied the "opencms.war" to the Tomcat webapps directory, 
did unpack it and was able to get the .../opencms/ocsetup fist page. When 
hitting the "continue" button a HTTP 500 error occured with a 
NullPointerException starting at com.opencms.boot.CmsSetup.getExtProperty 

Thanks for your help.
