What should I do to get it working?

Check your database connection is working. The error

org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Cannot open connection

is because Alfresco can't connect to your database.

Search through the forums, this is has been resolved for various databases before. You can find all those posts here: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Aforums.alfresco.com+GenericJDBCException
