I am having the following error when I try and start Apache James on my Ubuntu Server:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.frontends.CLISetup.parse CommandLineOptions(
CLISetup.java:202)
at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.frontends.CLIMain.main(C LIMain.java:122)

at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.launcher.Main.startup(Ma in.java:135)
at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.launcher.Main.main(Main. java:84)
It looks like something is going wrong in the phoenix library but I am not clear as to why this is happening and the underlying cause. Searching on the internet I haven't found much or any information about this problem and wondered if anyone has had similar problems when trying to run Apache James on Ubuntu. I have happily been able to install James on Windows several times and am not new to Linux. I installed Tomcat with no problems but James doesn't seem to want to work.
