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. /Nicklas On 2013-09-25 09:24, François Vallée wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to install BASE-3.2.3 from pre-compiled release following > the instructions on this page : > http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/latest/html/admin/installation.main.html > and i am stuck at the database initialization step. > > When I use the command : > > ./initdb.sh [baseadmin] baseadmpwd > > I have the error: > > [0%] --System information----------------------------- > BASE : 3.2.3(build 6317) > Database : jdbc:postgresql:base2 > Dialect : org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect > JDBC : org.postgresql.Driver; version 9.1 > Java : OpenJDK Runtime Environment; 1.6.0_27-b27; Sun Microsystems Inc. > OS : Linux; amd64; 3.2.0-53-generic > ------------------------------------------------- > ERROR core:308 - Exception while loading mapping files > java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file > at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method) > at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:132) > at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:151) > at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:88) > at > net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.addStaticMappings(HibernateUtil.java:269) > at net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.init2(HibernateUtil.java:207) > at net.sf.basedb.core.Application.start(Application.java:493) > at net.sf.basedb.core.Install.createTables(Install.java:131) > at net.sf.basedb.install.InitDB.main(InitDB.java:75) > 08:58:29,934 ERROR Application:655 - Exception when starting... > net.sf.basedb.core.BaseException: error in opening zip file > at > net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.addStaticMappings(HibernateUtil.java:309) > at net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.init2(HibernateUtil.java:207) > at net.sf.basedb.core.Application.start(Application.java:493) > at net.sf.basedb.core.Install.createTables(Install.java:131) > at net.sf.basedb.install.InitDB.main(InitDB.java:75) > Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file > at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method) > at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:132) > at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:151) > at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:88) > at > net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.addStaticMappings(HibernateUtil.java:269) > ... 4 more > > [30%] Building database failed: error in opening zip file > > net.sf.basedb.core.BaseException: error in opening zip file > at net.sf.basedb.core.Application.start(Application.java:658) > at net.sf.basedb.core.Install.createTables(Install.java:131) > at net.sf.basedb.install.InitDB.main(InitDB.java:75) > Caused by: net.sf.basedb.core.BaseException: error in opening zip file > at > net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.addStaticMappings(HibernateUtil.java:309) > at net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.init2(HibernateUtil.java:207) > at net.sf.basedb.core.Application.start(Application.java:493) > ... 2 more > Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file > at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method) > at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:132) > at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:151) > at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:88) > at > net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.addStaticMappings(HibernateUtil.java:269) > ... 4 more > > Maybe my installation of hibernate fails somewhere but I can't figure > out what to do to check it. > > Cheers, > François > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
