Re: unable to deploy on Openshift platform

What version of Roller are you running -- hopefully 5.1.1?  Have you 
seen my blog article: https://web-gmazza.rhcloud.com/blog/date/20131216 
for pointers?  I would stick with getting the JNDI method to work, it's 
connection pooling is probably better.

Also, you may wish to activate the roller-startup logging file in the 
WAR's log4j.properties file 
(https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/trunk/app/src/main/resources/log4j.properties) 
-- it's located probably under the WEB-INF/classes folder; it sometimes 
will output more informative error messages prior to Roller starting 
up.  (Doing this config in your roller-custom.properties may not work as 
well as some startup system errors occur prior to that properties file 
getting read.)

HTH,
