After installing and configuring bonita/tomcat in a windows 2008 server with MS sql 2012
tomcat can’t start.
The error in catalina.log is

I have checked other " answer" similiar that write to solve it:
In /server/platform/conf/bonita-platform.properties DO NOT EDIT properties “platformAdminUsername” and “platformAdminPassword”. If you change their values your database will not be initialized and no tables will be created. - See more at: [http://community.ofelia.com/groups/installation-6x/resolved-bonita-6-oracle#sthash.hDJJPSKT.dpuf](http://community.ofelia.com/groups/installation-6x/resolved-bonita-6-oracle#sthash.hDJJPSKT.dpuf)
Could you please confim it ?
The user and password for bonita must be bonita/bpm always? and the databasename “bonita”?
In the documentation suggest changing it.
Thanks

hello, did you checked that you provided the good version of the jdbc driver, and followed our documentation ?

Thanks a lot for answer, I have very new in bonitasoft and I appreciate it
After solving this error and apparently the problem of the MS JDBC driver (sqljdbc4.jar not sqljdbc.jar), a new one appears and tomcat doesn’t work yet
WARNING: error running recovery on resource ‘jdbc/bonitaDSXA’
Could you help me?
Thanks
