Errors when trying to run the forums - ("Unable to Initialize the Application")

 

I'm getting the following errors in the tomcat log file when I try to run the forum....

The url I use to get to the forums is http://localhost:8080/forums/ ...

 

 

Any ideas?

Glad reinstalling fixed your problem!

 

As an fyi, or for any others that might come across this with a similar problem, the issue is that your connection pool was unable to create connections.  This is normally due to invalid connection parameters--url, username, password, or one of those attributes changing without the application being aware.
