jamesmrush, you should have started a new topic, not appended to an existing one, especially since your problem is not related to the original problem posted. Are you able to access the home page or the jmx console? Try http://localhost:8080 and http://localhost:8080/jmx-console. Are you starting the app server with a -b option (such as run -b 0.0.0.0)? Which version of the Portal are you running? Are you running the app server + portal bundle, or did you install the app server and portal separately? If you are not using the bundle, what database are you using? Are there any stack traces in the terminal window? (You might have to increase the history/buffer size to scroll all the way back to where you started the app server.)
