[opencms-dev] Why is that exception thrown on a fresh install - The OpenCms setup wizard is still enabled

[Christoph Kukulies]

I did a fresh installation of the opencms_11.0.1.zip,
downloaded it and deployed it as a ROOT webapp. This had worked all over the years. Only this time I would change the frontend server to haproxy rather than apache2.

But at the time I’m doing the installation I’m using tomcat 9 (I know 8.5 is only supported but I don’t think that this matters here)
I stop tomcat, copy the opencms.war to ROOT.war and start tomcat.

What is bugging me is an exception I get in tomcat/logs/localhost.log:

It’s obvious that the setup wizard is enabled at this time since the setup han’t yet taken place, but why does this throw an exception?
