Spring Exception when Starting Container

[persiarash]

I'm using this script to start a VG container: https://github.com/Verigreen/verigreen/blob/master/utils/service-script/verigreen

After messing around with the configs a bit, I finally got the container to successfully start. Unfortunately, the web server itself does not start due to a Spring exception, as follows:

Nov 18, 2016 4:45:06 AM org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader initWebApplicationContext

Is this due to a mistake on my part in configuring the environment? I did not see anything about a "faq.offline" property anywhere in the guides. If you need me to submit additional information, please let me know.

Thank you.

Hey @persiarash, "faq.offline" needs to be set in the config.properties file, here is the link to the relevant documentation https://github.com/Verigreen/verigreen/wiki/Verigreen-config.properties-explanations#faq-page-parameters

Thank you @AndreeaDora that fixed the problem. Unfortunately that property is not listed here, which led to my confusion: https://github.com/Verigreen/verigreen/wiki/Verigreen-Collector-Required-Settings

Thanks again!
