I am not able to reproduce the error. Unfortunately there is a glitch in the error handling which causes a second error to hide the original one. If you turn on debugging there might be some more information displayed. You turn on debugging by editing the /www/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties file.
In the "Base 2 CORE loggers" section change the line: log4j.logger.net.sf.basedb.core=warn to: log4j.logger.net.sf.basedb.core=debug and run the initdb.sh script again. /Nicklas Emil Lundberg wrote: >>> * System specs >>> Solaris 10 / SPARC, 6 GB, in a zone >>> JDK 1.5.0_01 >>> MySQL 4.1.18 >>> Tomcat 5.5 >>> >>> * Problem 1: using binary BASE 2.0 >>> When running the 'updatedb.sh' script, java crashes after building the >>> initial database: >>> >>> [0%] Building database........................ >>> [30%] Database built successfully. >>> >>> java.lang.NullPointerException >>> at >>> net.sf.basedb.core.Update.getSchemaVersion(Update.java:319) >>> at >>> net.sf.basedb.core.Update.adjustExistingItems(Update.java:599) >>> at net.sf.basedb.install.InitDB.main(InitDB.java:66) >> I have checked the code and it turns out that it is currently not >> possible to update the RC1 release.
