PeopleFluent LMS cannot connect to the database.

Without a database connection, PeopleFluent LMS cannot start. Please check:

  1. Have you downloaded and installed the JDBC drivers (if using Microsoft SQL Server)?
  2. Is the User ID, password, and database connection string correctly set in ekp.properties?
  3. Is the database running? Can you connect to it using another tool?
  4. Was the PeopleFluent LMS database created properly and fully? Are all the tables and data available in it?
  5. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of PeopleFluent LMS, and the upgrade kit contains a file named WEB-INF/web.xml, have you copied this file into your PeopleFluent LMS installation directory?
  6. If applicable, has the audit schema upgrade been executed? Please ensure the audit schema is up-to-date.
For more help and further details please check in the PeopleFluent LMS Troubleshooting Guide and your PeopleFluent LMS Installation Guide. The stack trace in ekp.log will contain additional specific information that will help pinpoint the failure.
