Dear Lost, tired, bewildered, Your configuration says you want to do the JDBC configuration: database.configurationType=jdbc
But your log file says that Roller is trying to do the JNDI configuration: INFO 2010-11-21 07:58:48,234 DatabaseProvider:successMessage - SUCCESS: Got parameters. Using configuration type JNDI_NAME INFO 2010-11-21 07:58:48,234 DatabaseProvider:successMessage - -- Using JNDI datasource name: java:comp/env/jdbc/rollerdb INFO 2010-11-21 07:58:48,234 DatabaseProvider:successMessage - SUCCESS: located JNDI DataSource [java:comp/env/jdbc/rollerdb] ERROR 2010-11-21 07:58:48,250 DatabaseProvider:errorMessage - ERROR: unable to obtain database connection. Likely problem: bad connection parameters or database unavailable. I bet the problem is that Roller cannot find your roller-custom.properties file. How are you making the file available to Roller? Are you putting it in the Tomcat classpath or using the -Droller.custom.config property? Something must be wrong there. Hope that helps... - Dave
