Looks like you have a problem connecting to your mysql database.

a) Is your database server running ?
b) Have you created an empty schema for alfresco to use ?
c) Have you configured your alfresco-global.properties w.r.t. your database settings.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Below are my observations

a) Is your database server running ?
<<PP>> Yes the DB is up and running. I am using My Sql as the DB. [root@cms init.d]# /etc/init.d/mysqld status
mysqld (pid 5192) is running…

b) Have you created an empty schema for alfresco to use ?
Yes I have created. I have executed the below 3 queries.
mysqladmin -u root create alfresco
mysql -u root -e "grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;"
mysql -u root -e "grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;"

c) Have you configured your alfresco-global.properties w.r.t. your database settings.

I have make 3 changes to the alfresco-global.properties located at (/root/sware/apache-tomcat-6.0.26/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties)

Hey I got it.
Have a look on the below things.
(1)Verify the path of the alf_data in repository.properties.
(2)Check Mysql is running or not /etc/init.d/mysqld status. It should be running..
(3) Check the log any issue related to pdf2swf or ImageMagick. If present u need to install swftool and set the path.
(4)Edit the Catalina.sh

Add the blow things after

elif [ "$1" = "start" ] ; then

shift
touch "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out

JAVA_OPTS='-server -Xss1024K -Xms1G -Xmx3G -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XXermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m'

(5) Also have a look on http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=15336
