Re: Empty error at end of installation

This is very strange, and certainly the first time I've seen this error.

- Which version of Jahia did you encounter this with ?
- Are you running the default Tomcat packaged with Jahia ?
- Did you have any errors before this, that could have triggered this 
problem ?

Finally if you don't have any need for the web applications and they are 
causing the problem, you can simply delete all the files in 
jahia/WEB-INF/var/shared_components.

  Serge Huber.
