At this point in the code, a log file is expected to be in the log directory, but from your comments the log file has not been created. Do you have the correct permissions to read/write to the directory? Is the disk full? >From the exception you're getting, it would seem that uselessLogFile is null, thus the call to getPath() throws a NullPointerException. It's not quite clear to me how this could happen, but perhaps someone more familiar with the store code could answer that question. andrew
