I am trying to install Roller 3.0 on Win XP with MySql 5.1.11 with UTF8,
Tomcat 5.5.17 and Java 1.4.2_08.
Followed install guide.
Unzipped apache-roller-3.0-incubating.zip into C:\Roller.
Added contents of required-jars-roller-3.0-incubating.zip to WEB-INF/lib
directory, except for mail.jar and activation.jar which I added to D:\Apache
Group\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib.
Add the file mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar to the common\lib
directory.
Created user scott/tiger on MySql, granted all permissions and ran
createdb.sql script. This ran successfully.
Created roller.xml as described in install guide and updated server.xml to
add URIEncoding="UTF-8".
Created roller_data/uploads and roller_data/search-index directories and
changed references in roller.properties to point there.
This may not be the source of your problem, but you shouldn't modify
roller.properties. You should instead follow the intructions in the
unstall guide (and in the properties file) and create an override file
"roller-custom.properties" and override only the properties you need
to set.
The null-pointer exception that you are getting (excepted below) seems
to indicate that the property "search.index.dir" is undefined.

Hope that helps,
