Portal 7 - more issues...

RHEL 3

1. Creating a new community fails at point where you give the community a name and description. Clicking next does nothing, re-displays page (no errors with the name according to the rules and no log entries). This worked on a clean install yesterday.

2. Cannot login to psconsole, authentication fails with access manager user, can login to access manager console though. This worked fine yesterday on a fresh install.

I have been examining the install logs, completely re-installing the software after a through cleaning (rm install directories and checking that all rpms are removed) and I get different subtle problems each time.

hi keith,

w/ regard to #1, can you ensure that the derby database is running?

$ ant -DPS_CONFIG=/etc/opt/SUNWportal/PSConfig.properties -buildfile /opt/SUNWportal/lib/derby.xml stop-instance

$ ant -DPS_CONFIG=/etc/opt/SUNWportal/PSConfig.properties -buildfile /opt/SUNWportal/lib/derby.xml start-instance

note that these are non-public shortcuts for starting / stopping the server. the somewhat more verbose derby standard method is described in the documentation.
