How do I solve "Roller Weblogger has not been bootstrapped yet"?

Question

I'm getting the following error when I try to access Roller:

I'm running it on Tomcat on Windows 7. I've just put the roller.war file in the webapps folder, Tomcat is properly configured, but Roller does not work. How do I solved it? Why this error happens?

Answer 1

There are two situations that make this error: The first check the connection to the Database (do you use correct driver or not). The second is to check that javax.mail.jar exists in the lib folder of tomcat.

Hope this help you resolve this problem.

Answer 2

This error is often presented if the database is not started or not accessible. You might find some messages like "RAR5038:Unexpected exception while creating resource for pool RollerPool" in your Tomcat's log files.
