I am trying to upgrade liferay from 5.1 to 5.2. I have updated the database with
update-5.1.2-5.2.0-mysql.sql
update-5.2.0-5.2.1-mysql.sql
scripts, but when I start the server I get:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Any idea how to fix it, thanks.

See this

2. when try to login I'm refused with "You have entered invalid data. Please try again."
There is no any sign in logs what went wrong

3. Can not acces documents with Document Library nor as references in WIKI
I see folders and document counts correctly but there are no any document.

Almost all 5.1.1 content (pages for Organization, Wiki, Polls, Rss) is accessible.

FIXED:
1. portal users were corrupted - don't know why. (new db restore fixed that problem)
2. there were some LDAP properties defined in portletpreferences table (probably admin played with it once). Clearing preferences fix problem.

any help here is really appreciable.

Hi Vikas,

It's quite sometime now, but do you know how did you resolved this problem ?
I am facing the same issue. There's also a bug reported for this: https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-5498
I have analyzed the problem and found that the entry of guest community in Group_ table doesn't have value for classNameId.
This is resulting into null value for role, which it is trying to derive in method

I am going to give it a try by providing classNameId of Group in Group_ table. Please let me know your fix for this problem.

It worked !

After executing below sql statements, it upgraded to 5.2.3 successfully



I setup a fresh Liferay-5.1.2 bundle.
I verified that, when we add a community in Liferay-5.1.2 it doesn't set value for 'classNameId' and 'classPK' fields in Group_ table. But it sets these values in Liferay 5.2.3.
I don't know why.
