Answer 1

The error about CdApiLocalizationResolver which could not be resolved is remarkable. The CdApiLocalizationResolver is introduced in DXA 1.3 and only used if you install DXA 1.3+ for SDL Web 8; in the DXA Provider for 2013 SP1 this class does not exist and CdConfigLocalizationResolver is used instead. If you get that error, something seems to be wrong with your DXA Web App deployment/configuration.

Are you maybe using the DXA Provider for 2013 SP1 (Sdl.Web.Tridion - check the file properties)?

How did you deploy the DXA Web App?

Answer 2

Could you please check the MSDTC settings on the DB server and CD server. Looks like remote connection could not be established between the servers. Also check that port 8083 is enabled in firewall, if any.

Thanks
