It's better to ask these questions at dspace-tech. When you see a stacktrace, the like to look at is usually the first one after "Caused by" starting with "org.dspace":
> Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.dspace.storage.rdbms.DatabaseUtils.updateDatabase(DatabaseUtils.java:547) When you look here https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-6.0/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/storage/rdbms/DatabaseUtils.java#L547 you can see that dataSource is null. Now, this should be handled with a more graceful error message than a stack trace, but in the end it means that DSpace can't connect to the database. Is Postgres set up and running? Does dspace.cfg or local.cfg contain the correct DB connection string?
