[ball]

I am not able to login to the prediction application, getting the error like "An unexpected error has occurred."

tried with username= testeD and password = testtest. when i use these credentials, the application keep on asking usrname and password.

when i tried to create an account (using not registered yet), it is showing the following error

"Sorry, we goofed.

An unexpected error has occurred. An email describing the details has likely been sent to the webmaster"

here atteched the log file also.

edited perdict.xml file and placed in tomcat home (Tomcat 6.0\conf\Catalina\localhost\predict.xml). in this file added mysql username and passwored.

created the a recaptcha account and replaced in web.xml & WEB-INF/tags/captcha.tag files with private &public kys.

could anyone plese help me on this issue.

thanks in advance,

balaji

Hello,

It looks like the database connection is ok, which is good.

The log file shows *4* different start-ups in quick succession. It's
as if it's deployed more than once. Why is that? You should only have
1 deployment.

The startups end prematurely, after this line:
May 10, 2013 4:59:03 PM hirondelle.predict.main.codes.CodeTableUtil
fetchAndRememberCodeTable
FINE: Code Table 'OUTCOMES': (6) {
'1' = 'Right'
'2' = 'Mostly Right'
'3' = 'Half Right'
'4' = 'Mostly Wrong'
'5' = 'Wrong'
'6' = 'Undecidable'
}

After that, you should have more logging, but you don't.

Note that there is an example log file output that is distributed with
the Predictions app (named EXAMPLE_LOG_FILE.txt).
Here is a working example:

Search under your Tomcat instance for its log files. **You may see the
actual error in those locations, not in your app's log file**.

Suggestions, if you are still having problems :
- please ensure you complete the tutorial first; it doesn't take long,
and it's is easier to configure
- look for error messages in Tomcat's log files
- send a stack trace to this forum
