Problem deploying JBoss Portal
I'm following the User Guide to deploying JBoss portal on SLES 9 with JDK 1.4. I created the MySQL DB as named and defined in the guide. I placed the jboss-portal.sar and the mysql-ds.xml file under the jboss/server/default/deploy folder...then started up the application server and logged into the JXM console and it worked fine. I then tried opening localhost:8080/portal and got the following Error 500:
