Failed to start labkey (first time) with exception, "java.lang.NullPointerException" cameron macpherson  2015-11-19 08:54
Status: Closed
 
Hello,

I have tried to install Labkey on my Mac, but fail to initialise the Labkey app at, "localhost:8080/labkey".

Error:
"""
ERROR ModuleLoader 2015-11-19 17:30:56,896 localhost-startStop-1 : Failure occurred during ModuleLoader init.
java.lang.NullPointerException
"""

I followed the instructions on the website at, "https://www.labkey.org/home/Documentation/wiki-page.view?name=manualInstall".

Versions:
OS, OS X 10.10
Java, 1.8
PostgreSQL, 9.4.5
Tomcat, 8.0.28
Labkey, 15.1-3

Thank you for any help.

Gratefully,

Cameron

Hi Cameron,

Tomcat 8 is currently only supported on LabKey 15.3 right now. Please see our Supported Technologies page for more information:

https://www.labkey.org/wiki/home/Documentation/page.view?name=supported

If you wish to use LabKey 15.1, you will need to downgrade to Tomcat 7. Otherwise, I would recommend you install LabKey 15.3 which is now available for download here:

Regards,

Jon
