You lose!
Unless & until you get a 100% clean installation of the Infrastructure, you are 100% guarenteed to not get Portal to work.

Start by doing a "newfs" & then restart the V9.0.2.0.1 Infrastructure installation. You'll make it easy on yourself, if you simply accept all OUI's defaults; regardless of whether you agree or not with what is being offered. Received on Mon Dec 08 2003 - 19:39:06 CST
