Manuel, If you followed the instructions carefully, I would not expect this message (just to reassure you).
Can you tell me where you obtained the below log file extract? Path and file name, please. Can you tell me how you start OpenMeetings ? And what happens when you put http://[yourOpenmeetingsServerIpAddress]:5080/openmeetings/install in a web brower? The output from the below commands can be helpful too. netstat -anp | grep java ls -al /etc/init.d/red5 Thanks, George Kirkham -----Original Message----- From: Manuel Michaelis [mailto:man...@manuelmichaelis.de] Sent: Monday, 27 August 2012 6:27 AM To: openmeetings-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: OpenMeetings 2.X Installation on Ubuntu By trying to setup OpenMeetings 2.0 on ubuntu 12.04, following the instructions titled " OpenMeetings 2.X Installation on Ubuntu 64bit 12.04" following error occurred: HTTP Status 500 - type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception java.lang.NullPointerException org.apache.velocity.tools.view.VelocityView.performMerge(VelocityView.ja va:9 42) org.apache.velocity.tools.view.VelocityView.merge(VelocityView.java:902) org.apache.velocity.tools.view.VelocityViewServlet.mergeTemplate(Velocit yVie wServlet.java:318) org.apache.velocity.tools.view.VelocityViewServlet.doRequest(VelocityVie wSer vlet.java:220) org.apache.velocity.tools.view.VelocityViewServlet.doPost(VelocityViewSe rvle t.java:192) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:637) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) org.openmeetings.servlet.outputhandler.ServletRequestExFilter.doFilter(S ervl etRequestExFilter.java:53) org.red5.logging.LoggerContextFilter.doFilter(LoggerContextFilter.java:7 7) note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/6.0.32 logs.
