Admin application won't load. HTTP Status 503

I've installed GF V2-b58g and cannot access the admin console (http://localhost:4848). I get a HTTP 503 error. I have looked through pages and pages of posts and Googled myself dizzy looking for an answer.

It looks like GF cannot find the right classes to do it's job, but I cannot figure out why not.
This is really frustrating as I previously had GF V1 installed and I could access the admin app just fine. Obviously something on my system has changed, but I swear I don't know what I've changed.

Here's the part of the server.log where I notice the error:
I've attached the full server.log for futher info.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
