Tomcat Context stopped Grails GGTS Cloudfoundry plugin

Question

I'm using the cloud foundry plugin. I have set my credentials in Config.groovy. Can you tell me more about the errors I get?

If it's a Grails app you should use the http://grails.org/plugin/cloud-foundry plugin instead of STS since it has an awareness of the Spring beans for JDBC, MongoDB, Redis, etc. and will reconfigure them automatically for you on deployment. See the docs here: http://grails-plugins.github.com/grails-cloud-foundry/docs/manual/index.html

Also - do you really want both a MySQL and a PostgreSQL database? You should probably pick one :)

You can see the actual problem by looking at stacktrace.log and the "localhost" log in the tomcat/logs directory on the server - that's where the real stacktrace and error messages will be, not in the stdout that you see when deploying.

I did use the cloud-foundry plugin, but you're right : I messed it up with the db services!My stacktrace.log file is empty. How to access the tomcat/logs? Thanks for helping but still an error.There is something wrong with my mysql dependencies, I typed grails install-dependency mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.16 --dir=lib but then also commented out the line in BuildConfig.groovy runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.20'. How to delete the lib directory with the jar? – Guillaume Barthe Oct 23 '12 at 07:32
A new project. A little bit "better"!

Thanks to my friend bertrand from odelia technologies, I succeeded in pushing my app to the cloud.I turned off one of the plugins I added and ran the command : grails cf-bind-service mysql-f1..(I had not done it!) Then I had to modify my DataSource.groovy;

 production {
            dataSource {
                dialect= org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect
                driverClassName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
                    dbCreate = "update"
                username = "n/a"
                password = "n/a"
                url = "n/a"            
             }
     }
