What does the logs say before this error ? Look for exceptions above.

That error usually indicates that the OSGI class (responsible for plugins) isn't starting up properly.  This could be due to a misconfigured database, or possibly not enough memory depending on the stack trace.  I'd recommend reviewing https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Connecting+JIRA+to+MySQL to make sure that the database is configured properly.
