First U have to create an empty database, for example jbossportal Configure your datasource more or less like this (depending on the db u r using, in this case im using mysql) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <local-tx-datasource> <jndi-name>PortalDS</jndi-name> <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jbossportal?useServerPrepStmts=false&jdbcCompliantTruncation=false</connection-url> <driver-class>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</driver-class> <user-name>root</user-name> admin </local-tx-datasource> - Copy the data source to your Jboss AS deploy folder - Copy the jboss-portal.sar to your Jboss AS deploy folder (the jboss-portal.sar Im using is the one included in the jboss-portal-2.4.0.zip) Greetings :) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3996724#...
