drop the alfresco database and create it agian. Also delete the alf_data folder from the bin of your tomcat, restart the server…

Also, make sure that you have <em>alfresco-remote-api-x.x.x.jar</em> in your alfresco.war's /WEB-INF/lib folder.

This error some time comes due to partial shutdown of alfresco instance.
So, when we try to start it second time it gives error.
Either we can end all the alfresco related services forcefully and then try again.
Or if you are not able find the related jvm and other db services related to alfresco just restart your machine
