Hello everybody,

I'm stuck with an error while starting Jforum when linked with a Posgresql database.
Here is the error when accessing the URL http://localhost/jforum-2.3.3/forums/list.page (tomcat web server):

java.lang.NullPointerException

	java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)

	java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)

	net.jforum.ConfigLoader.loadDaoImplementation(ConfigLoader.java:216)

	net.jforum.JForum.startApplication(JForum.java:329)

	net.jforum.JForum.init(JForum.java:112)

Prior to that, I migrate my database from Oracle to Postgres so I dont need to make a fresh install. I checked all my configuration files but didn't find anything.
SystemGlobals.properties:

# Database type to use

database.driver.name = postgresql

postgresql.properties:

#Sun Jul 26 12:58:14 CST 2009

dao.driver=net.jforum.dao.postgresql.PostgresqlDataAccessDriver

database.driver.name=postgresql

database.connection.driver=org.postgresql.Driver

database.connection.string=jdbc\:postgresql\://${database.connection.host}\:${database.connection.port}/${database.connection.dbname}?user\=${database.connection.username}&password\=${database.connection.password}

database.connection.host=xx.xx.xx.xx

database.connection.port=1531

database.connection.dbname=postgres

database.connection.username=OWN_JFORUM

database.connection.password=XXXXXXXXXX

database.connection.pool.min=5

database.connection.pool.max=50

database.connection.pool.timeout=5000

database.support.autokeys=false

database.support.subqueries=true

dbencoding=utf-8

jforum-custom.conf:

#Installation specific configuration options

#Tue May 15 14:26:04 CEST 2012

container.app=Apache Tomcat

container.version=7

forum.link=http\://localhost/jforum-2.3.3

homepage.link=http\://localhost

i18n.board.default=fr_FR

installed=true

search.indexing.enabled=true

Can someone help me solve this issue?

thanks

ok, my bad... in fact the Migration Tool Kit included with postgres does not understand "sysdate" properties so he fail to copy table, and especialy JFORUM_USERS.

If you do manual installation of JForum 2.3.3 (and earlier version), you need to copy the content of postgresql.properties into jforum-custom.conf.

And this issue has been reported and fixed as issue 31.

Thanks for the reply !
