Answer 1

Due to some jar file mismatch i got these error .Manually copy jar files from 2013 sp1 installer i resolve this problem.

Answer 2

By the looks of it I think you missed step #5 in the documentation topic Creating the Web application (requires login).

In short, you forgot to install a JDBC driver for your database in the bin\lib\ subfolder of the new Web application.

For example, when you are using a MS SQL server Content Delivery database, you should add the sqljdbc4.jar to the bin\lib\ folder (copy it from one of your Content Delivery Web applications, like the HTTP Upload or OData).

After copying the required jar(s) for your JDBC driver, you will want to recycle te Application Pool of the site and then you can try if it works.

UPDATE

The number of jars seem to match, and your cd_storage_conf.xml look sokay as well, assuming that you do have different property values in your actual one (pointing to your database server and with the correct username and password).

If all these things indeed check out to be correct, I would just delete the entire created webiste, and recreate it via the installation script, as it appears something strage is happening and figuring out what will most likely take a lot longer than to just recreate it through the installer script. Be sure to delete the website and its application pool and just let the installation script do its work again...

Answer 3

First do some basic validation like

1. Your cd license is valid.

2. Check if your website app pool has write permission to website's physical path.

If these are ok , then update your /bin/lib with one you got from your installation
