:shock:
Did you see ther errorlog you posted?

Caused by: org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver'

AND

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

It seems you configured alfresco to make use of mssql, but forgot to provide the jdbc-libraries needed to connect to it.
(you can place the libs in your /alfresco/tomcat/common/lib (or something corresponding)).

Check microsoft or google for your jdbc drivers. Or try MySQL as a database instead.

Thanks for info. I saw the 'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver' error. but new to Alfresco and tomcat, so dont know what it means.

The jdbc files are in the lib folder. Still doesnt go, hence wondered what else could be wrong.

Cheers
