fails to start after clean install

[Barry Kaplan]

(hmm, my last post seems to have disappeared)

I have just installed 2.5.2 on ubuntu 14.04 using the .deb package. But at service startup I gets gobs of exceptions. 

I see the error is in the spring init phase, but its not clear at all what the underlying cause is. Any help would be

appreciated.

Check java version.

I think my posts were being screened for a bit. This is way old. But, the problem was not java version, but incorrect database creds.
