Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Connections could not be acquired from the underlying database!

Symptom

Start up fails (as seen in attached logs). I know that Tomcat is running and IIS is still configured, because trying to access the wiki gives the following:
------------------------------------------------------
HTTP Status 404 - /

type Status report

message /

description The requested resource is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.23

Diagnostics/Test

Logs indicate the problem is with connecting to the database. Advised the customer to bounce both Confluence and the Database and see if a connection can be established.

Root Cause

Connection Problem With the Database due to invalid/expired password for the profile used to connect to their SQL Server database.

Solution

Reset password and updated it in the confluence.cfg.xml file. Problem fixed.
