Task #7177

Updated by ben leinfelder over 7 years ago

I was working with Eva-Maria.Gerstner@senckenberg.de on an installation of Metacat 2.8.1 and we could not get Metacat to fully initialize after configuring it in the admin screens. On restart, we would get as far as the  

 <pre><code class="text"> 
  
 metacat 20170324-18:24:19: [DEBUG]: XMLService.doRefresh - refreshing the schema service. [edu.ucsb.nceas.metacat.service.XMLSchemaService] 
 </code></pre> 

 and then it would never get beyond that because of an unexpected exception in that routine:
