I'm having the same problem.  I'm trying to install Jenkins 1.579 into Tomcat 7 which is running on a Synology NAS server.  The only thing I can find is the exception that's listed above.

Anyone know how to solve this problem?

When Jenkins fails to initialize, it tries to execute a user-definable script. But that can only work when Jenkins is already successfully initialized. Will file a bug about this.

That said, there should be another SEVERE message just above the null pointer with more details on what the actual problem is.

From my Tomcat's localhost log file; this is the first part of the file after installing the WAR file.
