I am sorry you are having trouble installing the Mashboard framework. I can assure you the framework functions well. I have not seen any posts from you on the forum, we could have helped you get things working quicker. 
 
You have deployed the Framework on the embedded Information Console underneath iServer Express on Windows. 
 
That would make your link to the QuickStart application: 
 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://localhost:8900/iportal/mashboard.do?project=QuickStart'>http://localhost:8900/iportal/mashboard.do?project=QuickStart</a> 
 
Is this the link that is not loading correctly for you? 
 
What loads if you point to the following URL? 
 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://localhost:8900/iportal/'>Information Console Home</a>

arno

what i got clicking on this URL
is the welcome page (the one seen on youtube)
but once i try to login i have got the HTTP500 error.

that is all
perharps you could help me
make this frame work run correctly?

i did all what was mentionned into the
mashboard install guide given within the zip file.
all the files are loaded under the path you asked for.
all the rights set up were ALL got all rights (even on all files).
the mashboard and the portlets folder are on the same level than
the activeportal or jsapi folders.
web.xml file was modified regarding what was said.

i really do not understand what i have missed

bhanley

Can you attach your web.xml file to the thread so I can have a look?

arno

sure
please find here after my web.xml file
this web xml file is stored under :

C:Program FilesActuate10iServerservletcontaineriportalWEB-INF

arno

ok there was a problem in the attachment
rename the rptdesign file in xml or doc file
you will be able to read it

thanks in advance

The issue is likely your default locale. it is currently set to French (fr_FR). The Mashboard does not install a localized version of the QuickStart application. As a result it is having trouble loading the correct files. 
 
The localized versions of the application are stored under: mashboardQuickStartcontent 
 
You have two options to test this this and determine concretely iof that is the issue. 
 
Copy the en_US directory under mashboardQuickStartcontent and paste it in the same directory, re-naming it to "fr_FR". Also copy locale_en_US.properties, pastwe it in the same directory and re-name the new copy to "locale_fr_FR.properties". This will give you the correct files needed for your default locale. 
 
-- OR -- 
 
Change your default locale in web.xml to read en_US. Re-start the iServer and try to log in. 
 
You can try either option to confirm this is the issue blocking your log in. 
 
Let me know how your testing goes.

arno

i have choosen the first version of your possibilities.

and it works!!!!!

well done man
that application is really great
everything run great but not the jsapi tab
may you please explain more about this tab and what it is supposed to do?

one additionnal note:
the second posibility (the easiest for me ) did not work
so creating the folder and creating the properties file is mandatory.

once again well done

bhanley

I think the second option did not work because of the locale set on the iServer over-rides the locale on the Information Console. I am glad you got it working using the copy method. That was the better option as now you have a sandbox where you can experiment with localizing your deployment. 
 
The JSAPI page has an environment-specific line inside the HTML that you should check. Open up mashboard/QuickStart/content/fr_FR/mashup.html and check line number 41. 
 
The default installation reads: 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>var url = "http://localhost:8700/iportal";</pre>
 
That points to a full iServer installation. Change yours to point to the iServer Express install: 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>var url = "http://localhost:8900/iportal";</pre>
 
Save the file and re-load the tab (you do not have to log out of the Mashboard). 
 
Let me know if that does the trick. 
 
Good Luck!

arno

correcting the port numbers into the file you mentionned
correct the problem.

everything is fine now
i got a big sandbox now to build my castle :-))

thanks a lot for your help

best regards

hi everybody: 
please find here under how i did install the mashbooard on iserver express 10 
it is on windows xp sp3. 
 
Installing over a standard, non-customized version of Actuate Information Console 10: 
 
Before installation we assume that your iserver installation folder is the 
c:program filesActuate10 (it will called later ) 
the following was tested on a iserver express 10 on windows XP SP3 
 
Stop the Information Console service. 
 
Backup your existing web.xml file. 
(this file is stored under: 
C:Program FilesActuate10iServerservletcontaineriportalWEB-INF) 
 
download the needed files under : 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/devshare/deploying-birt-reports/801-mashboard/#description'>Mashboard - Other Resources - BIRT Exchange</a> 
 
extract the downloaded package. 
the extracted package got this structure: 
 
--- mashboard 
--- iportal 
--- iportal 
--- mashboard 
--- portlet 
--- WEB-INF 
--- lib 
 
--- src-mashboard.jar 
--- volume 
 
Copy this package’s iportal into your installed Information Console’s folder. 
In fact merge all the folders the following way: 
 
/*********************************************/ 
copy the full content of --- mashboard 
--- iportal 
into: C:Program FilesActuate10iServerservletcontaineriportal 
 
/*********************************************/ 
copy the full content of --- mashboard 
--- iportal 
--- iportal 
into: C:Program FilesActuate10iServerservletcontaineriportaliportal 
(so the trwo folders mashboard and portlet are directly visible into this folder) 
 
/*********************************************/ 
copy the full content of --- mashboard 
--- iportal 
--- WEB-INF 
into C:Program FilesActuate10iServerservletcontaineriportalWEB-INF 
(this is where you copy your new web.xml file) 
 
/*********************************************/ 
 
in the folder C:Program FilesActuate10iServerservletcontaineriportalWEB-INFlib 
rename the file "activation-1.0.2.jar" in activation-1.0.2.jar_file or delete it. 
copy the full content of --- mashboard 
--- WEB-INF 
--- lib 
into the C:Program FilesActuate10iServerservletcontaineriportalWEB-INFlib 
 
/*********************************************/ 
 
 
Edit your backup copy of web.xml, 
take note of the values for the DEFAULT_LOCALE, 
DEFAULT_TIMEZONE, SERVER_DEFAULT, 
and DEFAULT_VOLUME parameters, 
and then apply them to your newly copied web.xml. 
 
Take care about the DEFAULT_LOCALE value!! 
if your DEFAULT_LOCALE value is different from en_EN 
or en_US the following section is for you: 
 
go into C:Program FilesActuate10iServerservletcontaineriportaliportalmashboardQuickStartcontent 
Create a folder with the name of the DEFAULT_LOCALE value 
copy the full content of an existing folder (like en_GB) into this new folder. 
copy the "locale_en_GB.properties" and paste it near the original one. 
rename this new file in "locale_DEFAULT_LOCALE.properties" 
 
do not forget to do the following: (for the jsapi tab) 
 
The JSAPI page has an environment-specific line inside the HTML that you should check. 
Open up mashboard/QuickStart/content/fr_FR/mashup.html and check line number 41. 
 
The default installation reads: 
Code: 
var url = "http://localhost:8700/iportal"; 
 
That points to a full iServer installation. Change yours to point to the iServer Express install: 
Code: 
var url = "http://localhost:8900/iportal"; 
 
Save the file and re-load the tab (you do not have to log out of the Mashboard). 
this was given by Brian previoulsly in this thread 
but do not forget that if you use the iserver express 10 the port number is the 8900 and not the 8700. 
 
Start the Information Console service. 
 
 
enjoy!!! 
 
hoping this will help people to use this application

bhanley

Glad your install is up-and-running.
