Start chat server failed: java.lang.Exception: group is null

[Roger]

Q: When I tried to start my chat, I get the error: Start chat server failed: java.lang.Exception: group is null, why?

A: This error has several reason, I'll give you the solution below:

1. The permission reason
In most Linux Server, if your account has no enough permission, you may met the error. You need contact with Server Administrator.

2. No enough resources.
You can check if your server has enough RAM, mostly, when the server has little RAM, you also met the error.

3. Another Java Process is started.
You can use the command: "PS -ef | grep Java" to check if your server has already had a java process, if so, you need kill it first, then start your chat.

Key Words: java.lang.Exception, Group is null, permisson deny, RAM

I have solved this error, I am now receiving a new error when trying to start server:

Init server database configuration error: java.lang.Exception: init server database pool error

Mysql.xml has the correct info, as it is the same that I inserted into admin control panel and after saving it said "Success"

in fcserver.xml manual says change "Default" to MySQL, but in actual fact it says "Derby" not "Default". I changed this to "MySQL"

It then says to change "On" to "Off" <database-server ip="127.0.0.1" port="10702" enable="Off"></database-server>

The port here is "10702" but in the manual its listed as "9001"

hi,nemo

maybe you'd referred to the older manual,

the latest is the best choice
