goto this path ${TOMCAT_HOME}\conf\Catalina\localhost
Open the root.xml and add the following lines in it.
<Context path="" crossContext="true">
<Resource
name="jdbc/LiferayPool"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/lportal?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF-8"
username="root"
password="root"
maxActive="20"
/>
