I can't even get the portlets to display the conent so I can create a community... The portlets show up but they are blank.

1. is the derby database running? ps -ef|grep java ... you should see a java process w/ the sys prop derby.system.home. if it's not running, refer to the portal 7 docs on how to start it:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3031/6n59fp3va?q=derby&a=view

2. take a look in /var/opt/.../config/desktopconfig.properties, and check the portletRenderModeParallel property. make sure it's set to false. you need to restart the web container to affect a change in this.

hope this helps.

this is not really on the subject but should the derby db be running all the time. I have noticed when doing a config and unconfig with psconfig that it complains about it not being able to contact port 1527. but everything seems to work out fine. Should I be starting it with a script in rc? with a nohup or is it called by portal?

also I notice when I do start derby db that it i killed after whatever proccess was using it is done. ex: doing a psconfig --unconfig unconfig.xml it will print out

root@foo /var/opt/SUNWportal/logs/admin > java -Dderby.system.home=/var/opt/SUNWportal/derby org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl start

Server is ready to accept connections on port 1527.

Connection number: 1.

Shutdown successful.

This seems not correct to me. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

hi,

psconfig starts and stops the process as it needs the process to be running in order to configure the database. otherwise, for normal portal operation, it's up to you to manage the process.

the process for starting and stopping the database is documented here:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3031/6n59fp3va?a=view

or, you can follow the instructions from the derby manuals from apache. you can create an RC script for this, or whatever suits your needs.
