Re: [base] BASE installation issue

[Nicklas N. <nic...@me...>]

Hello,

It could be an issue with the OpenJDK java version you are using. To 
confirm if this seems to be the case you can try to turn on info-level 
logging. Find the log4j.properties file inside the 
<base-install-dir>/www/WEB-INF/classes. A couple of lines down in that 
file is an entry for 'log4j.logger.net.sf.basedb.core=warn'. Change 
'warn' to 'info' and try the installation again. This will print a lot 
of information, but just before it crashes there should a line 
containing something like:

'... INFO core:268 - Loading mappings files from jar: ....'

Check that path given in the log statement actually corresponds to the 
real path to the 'base-core-3.2.3.jar' file.

If the path seems not be correct, try downloading and installing a Java 
version from Oracle instead.

Hope this helps.
