default dashboard has odd error

Everything was fine when I left yesterday with respect to the dashboard showing up. I had yet to modify the default dashboard from what came with JIRA. Today, it shows (see screenshot) a little graphic box with the text dashboard.noportlets
dashboard.addportlet
Any idea why that came up all of a sudden? It is possible I.T. may have been re-organizing the installation...or maybe we have a technical problem? If I get internal I.T. to fix this before you guys wake up down under, I'll add a comment to the issue.

When clicking on the admin link to modify the default dashboard I get this error:

Could not execute action [EditDefaultDashboard!default]:Unable to esablish a connection with the database. (Cannot obtain connection: driverURL = jdbc:weblogic:pool:JIRAConnection Pool, props =
