[xwiki-users] Exception while reading document XWiki.XWikiPreferences

After installing both my servlet container and Mysql database, I am still not able to log into xwiki. I edited the necessary files and am positive that Tomcat 5.5 is configured correctly. I can get the apache page but when I click xwiki home I get the error listed below. One strange thing is when I comment the mysql database back, it allows me to view the xwiki but when I uncomment like the directions say, it does not work. What could be the problem? Thanks, Tim javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: Could not create a DBCP pool org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processException(RequestProcessor.java:535) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:433) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:236) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1196) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:414) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter.doFilter(SetCharacterEncodingFilter.java:117) root cause com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: Could not create a DBCP pool com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getMainXWiki(XWiki.java:247) com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getXWiki(XWiki.java:397) com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiAction.execute(XWikiAction.java:94) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:431) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:236) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1196) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:414) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter.doFilter(SetCharacterEncodingFilter.java:117)
