title: Can't run dotCMS - cms500Page
body: <p>I downloaded the zip file of dotCMS two days ago from <a href="http://dotcms.com/download/" rel="nofollow">http://dotcms.com/download/</a>. I followed <em>exactly</em> step by step the instructions of dotCMS documentation and I managed to connect correctly the dotCMS with mySQL (<a href="http://dotcms.com/docs/latest/DatabaseConfiguration" rel="nofollow">http://dotcms.com/docs/latest/DatabaseConfiguration</a>).</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that when I am running the Apache tomcat (by executing the <code>startup.bat</code> file), a blank page appears on localhost:8080/ and sometimes a page appears containing the number 500(of course in the ROOT folder in webapps I have the dotCMS files). Also in <code>catalina.log</code> I see the following error:
  <code>ERROR org.apache.jsp.portal._500_jsp - cms500Page</code></p>
  
  <p>Any idea about how to fix this?</p>
