Cannot open Planning application : An error occurred while processing page

Question

Hi,
I'm using EPM 11.1.1.3 on Linux Server (Red Hat). Recently, I had to stop and start all services after which I am unable to open any Planning application. It gives me the following error:
An error occurred while processing this page. Check the log for details.Please close the current tab and open application again
An error occurred while processing this page. Check the log for details.
I cannot open it through Workspace also. There aren't any logs in %HYPERION_HOME%/logs/Planning which mention anything about this error. Appreciate if someone could suggest a solution.
Cheers,
Sahil

Thanks for sharing your expert opinions guys. I have checked the suggested log HYPERION_HOME/deployments/Tomcat5/HyperionPlanning/logs/catalina.out
It seems to be a JDBC connection error. This brings me to the point that I also reconfigured Planning over the existing configuration (8300). could this be the cause of the error as other utilities (Web Analysis, Essbase, Shared Services etc.) are working fine (I did not reconfigure these).
Kindly have a look at the log below from the aforementioned path and suggest a solution. Greatly appreciate any help.
