pbx.war won't run-Ubuntu Server 8.04/Tomcat

[carneym]

1. Brekeke PBX 2_1_6_6

2. Java version: 1.6.0.0/TomCat5.5

3. Ubuntu Server 8.0.4

I have TomCat 5.5 running fine on my Ubuntu server and it loads the http://localhost:8180 test page perfectly. However, after copying pbx.war to the webapps directory where it appears in a /pbx folder evidently created by Brekeke, when I try http://localhost:8180/pbx/ I get an HTTP 500 error page and the following blizzard of errors:

What can I do to get Brekeke PBX running?

Thank you for your help,

I know this issue.
I suppose you are using the Ubuntu's pre-installed Tomcat.

For solving the issue, you need to install the latest Tomcat.
http://tomcat.apache.org/

Try it.

I also try installing brekeke on ubuntu 8.04 and on debian 4, but it won't run , but on fedora 9 its working fine.... so try on it.

Hi tagaamo,

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Ubuntu's pre-installed Tomcat cannot work properly with Brekeke products, it throws "java.lang.NullPointerException".
To solve the problem, Ubutu users need to install the latest version of Tomcat.

Thank you.
