title: Gerrit fails to load "Starting Gerrit Code Review: FAILED" no errors in log
body: <p>I've installed Gerrit according to the <a href="https://review.openstack.org/Documentation/install.html" rel="nofollow">Standalone Daemon Installation Guide</a> with MySQL. All plugins match the Gerrit install 2.12.2. </p>
  
  <p>When starting Gerrit with ~/gerrit_install/bin/gerrit.sh start the output is simply: </p>
  
  <p><strong>Starting Gerrit Code Review: FAILED</strong></p>
  
  <p>There are no errors in ~/gerrit_install/logs/error_log</p>
  
  <p>If I modify gerrit.sh to #!/bin/sh -x and run in gerrit.sh start, I see:</p>

  <p>I'm probably missing something very obvious, but don't see it. Anyone else have a suggestion what I might be missing?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> Starting from scratch with a minimum install, it would appear the issue is with the Bouncy Castle add ons. Gerrit 2.12.2 is asking for v1.52. Since Bouncy Castle only hosts the latest version 1.54, I used jar files from Maven.org:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/bouncycastle/bcpkix-jdk15on/1.52/
  http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on/1.52/
  http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/bouncycastle/bcpg-jdk15on/1.52/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Once I install these after asking the enable signed push support, everything went back to the issue above. I'd still like to figure out how to get this working </p>
