Earlier in the console output there should have been a stack trace stating exactly what the problem is. Please post that. What you have posted is the report that said something failed, which usually does not help solve the issue. My closest guess, based on what you posted, is either a database error occurred (would be in the stack trace) or you changed the default cms content. Also post which version of JBossAS, JBoss Portal, and JDK. Also which database are you using? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4128241#...
