NullPointerException after installation

Question

Hi,

i'm thinking about purchasing Stash, so i want to try out the Trial version first. I just set up a Raspberry Pi (current Raspbian), installed the Apache with MySQL and PHP, GIT and also Java with "apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk". Finally i followed all the steps for installing Stash. But when i now try to call http://homeserver:7990/setup (i want to use the Pi as a small homeserver) i get the following error message:

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

I don't know what to do next. I tried to reinstall Java several times (.tar.gz installations and apt-get packages), but it fails every time i tried to call the setup-wizard.

Does anyone have an idea what's going on here?

Thanks :)

Hi,

thanks for your answer. While closing unused pages on my iPhone i randomly went to the setup page again and it shows up without any errors... I could enter my license but after submitting the admin account settings i got an error again... I am now thinking about switching my Windows Rootserver to a Debian or Ubuntu Rootserver and then i'll try again ;)

Thanks for your help :)

Hi,

My guess (from comments of people trying to run Stash on the Pi) is that you don't have enough memory to run Stash on the Raspberry Pi and as a result the OSGI system is only starting up partially. You need at least 512Mb and probably closer to 768Mb allocated to the JVM to run Stash.

Update:

The local test results in the following:

A fatal error has occurred

The following problems occurred which prevents Atlassian Stash from starting correctly:

Required plugin com.atlassian.stash.stash-jira-integration has failed to start
Required plugin com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.admin has failed to start
Required plugin com.atlassian.applinks.applinks-plugin has failed to start
Required plugin com.atlassian.oauth.serviceprovider.sal has failed to start
