Play framework 1.x 'hibernate.properties not found' issue

Question

I have deployed my play framework 1.2.5 app on amazon ec2 ubuntu instance. And I did configuration according to what play.1.2.5 production tutorial says. After starting my app it throws exception for hibernate configuration. I am really struggling with deploying and configuring my app on production. The Information trace is like that.

2014-02-09 16:53:33,457 - Table 'emirbazaridb.CATEGORIES' doesn't exist

Answer 1

I think the hibernate.properties not found message is possibly a red herring. The last line of your stacktrace might be where the problem lies:

Table 'emirbazaridb.CATEGORIES' doesn't exist

Does the CATEGORIES table exist?
