[Building Sakai] Starting up Sakai 2.6 on mysql fails?

[Nicola Monat-Jacobs]

Hi -

I've having the very frustrating problem where I can't get 2.6 working  
locally on my mac. I have MySQL 5.0.84 installed with the following  
settings in sakai.properties:

## MySQL settings - make sure to alter as appropriate
vendor at org.sakaiproject.db.api.SqlService=mysql
driverClassName at javax.sql.BaseDataSource=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect
url at javax.sql.BaseDataSource=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/sakai? 
useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
validationQuery at javax.sql.BaseDataSource=select 1 from DUAL
defaultTransactionIsolationString 
@javax.sql.BaseDataSource=TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED

I can log in to MySQL just fine with the username and password that I  
have in sakai.properties. I have created the sakai database with
create database sakai default character set utf8;
Sakai starts up fine (so the subject of this email is a little  
misleading), but as soon as I try to login with admin/admin I get the  
following stack trace and can't proceed. I've dropped and recreated  
the database a couple times. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
Nicola
