Hello Cerise- This error message says the application can't connect to its MySQL database.
Did you complete all of the installation steps? The full installation instructions are at https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Installing+OpenMRS . The next things to check are: * Were you able to run the OpenMRS installation wizard in your web browser? Did it finish? If no, check the installation instructions and Tomcat server logs. * Is MySQL running? If no, start the service. If yes, check the connection. * Can you connect to MySQL as root through other MySQL tools? If no, it's a MySQl problem. If yes, the database is running and it's a login problem. * During installation, OpenMRS made a file called openmrs-runtime.properties . Open it and look for the MySQL username and password. Can you connect to MySQL with that username and password? If yes, hmm, this is interesting! Check the Tomcat server logs. See if it said anything else besides "couldn't connect to database." That will give us a clue. If you only want to look at the database tables, you could try connecting with a MySQL tool like Navicat Lite (www.navicat.com) . The standalone will tell you what IP address it is using. You'll use the MySQL login "root" with password "openmrs".
