Pentaho Initialization Exception - PentahoSystem.ERROR_0014

Hi there,

I am trying to install Pentaho BI Suite CE 4.8.0 using an Oracle database and have made all neccesary changes from following Prashant Raju's really helpful guide. However, i am now completely stuck with this error:


Please see the server console for more details on each error detected.

I have checked the logs under /pentaho/tomcat/logs/catalina.out and pentaho.log, but it doesn't give any useful information that can help me solve the error. It just gives me a "PentahoSystem.ERROR_0014 - Error while trying to execute startup sequence for org.pentaho.platform.plugin.action.mondrian.MondrianSystemListener" inside the logs. Help will be greatly appreciated as I am going no where with this.
