Thanks for the quick reply. I removed those dirs but still had the problem. The jbp_users table was empty so I created the user admin/admin through the portal create user form. I'm not sure if my admin/admin user will have the correct privilages. But now I'm getting the following exception: | ERROR [JDBCExceptionReporter] Table 'jbossportal.jbp_instance_per_user' doesn't exist | ERROR [ControllerCommand] Rendering portlet window default.default.CatalogPortletWindow produced an internal error | e.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query | rg.hibernate.exception.SQLStateConverter.convert(SQLStateConverter.java:67) | Progress? Hopefully. Anyone know what columns are in jbossportal.jbp_instance_per_user? Any suggestions View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3967901#...
