Hi, I've been trying to make Roller 1.2 work but I can get nothing other the following exception when I request a page:

ERROR 2005-11-04 19:29:32,868 | NavigationBarTag:prepareContext | org.roller.RollerException: ERROR creating Page Model ERROR 2005-11-04 19:29:32,878 | NavigationBarTag:doEndTag | EditorNavigationBarTag exception
org.roller.RollerException: Failure initializing ContextLoader.
at org.roller.presentation.tags.menu.NavigationBarTag.doEndTag(NavigationBarTag.java:158) at org.roller.presentation.tags.HybridTag.doEndTag(HybridTag.java:64) at org.apache.jsp.main_jsp._jspx_meth_roller_NavigationBar_0(main_jsp.java:556)
       at org.apache.jsp.main_jsp._jspService(main_jsp.java:181)
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:94)
... (usual Tomcat stack trace follows.)

What does this mean? It appears to be somewhere inside Velocity. All that is displayed is a page headed "Unexpected Exception", with the body "null Reason 500".

This is a clean installation of Roller 1.2, on Tomcat 5.0.28 and Postgres 7.4.7. The context config is a copy of roller_tomcat_5_0.xml in the installation guide, with the database details modified for Postgres. There are no exceptions when Roller starts up, and it has created a file "segments" in its index directory and persisted 18 rows to the roller_properties table.

After the application has been up for a while, I also get this in the log:

WARN 2005-11-04 19:42:38,124 | PingQueueProcessor:processQueue | WARNING: Skipping current ping queue processing round because we cannot yet determine the site's absolute context url.

I looked on the mailing list archive and one other person reported this same exception, when upgrading to 1.2. Nobody replied to him (I have confirmed this with him by email). I hope someone can help with this.

Thanks, Jon
