Null pointer exception while trying to start MWS 7.1.2

We did an upgarde from 71 to 712 and from then on we are receiving below error. Can someone throw some light where we should start?

The only way you can make your MWS working is point the MWS server to new database.
I tried installing multiple times but it didn’t work, finally i changed the database and now it is working.

Sorry … I am new at this forum … I don´t know exactly how to search and how to post my doubts.

But I saw this … related to my problem …

Thanks.
