SCSM 2012 PORTAL DOES NOT WORK. AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG? PLEASE HELP

Ok, so SCSM 2012 Beta is now released and available. I downloaded and installed it. No brainer, everything pretty much straightforward. THen I installed Portal, and selected both options - SharePoint and Silverlight pieces. All installed with no errors. ALl looks good. Now when I open SMPortal WEB page, all I get is this:

As you can see, it works somehow, partially. I tried different browsers, no luck. I even completely removed SCSM 2012 and SharePoint 2010 and re-installed everything up to last byte - still the same. I'm wondering if I may be doing something wrong?

My URL for self-service portal I use is: https://<server_FQDN>:444/SMPortal as shown on the picture. This is what I got at the end of installation process. Is this is right URL? I know in SCSM 2010 it used to be https://<server_FQDN>/EndUser but I think this is now changed to SMPortal.

Does anybody have any issue with SMPortal? Does it work? I start thinking that this thing just does not work, or maybe I'm missing something? Do I need any connector? I established AD connector so far.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I have had this problem as well and have put alot of effort into solving it.

This is my discoveries so far:

1. The webpart and the webservices cant be installed on the same server.

2. When installing the Webpart you must use a FQDN for the webservice including the port

Example: https://scsm01.contoso.com dont work as webservice url but https://scsm01.contoso.com:443 does work

3. When you install it like this you also need goto the server where the webservice is installed and edit the web.config file in the contenthost application with the fqdn.

I used the default location so my web.config file is placed at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\System Center Service Manager Portal\ContentHost\Web.config

Example:

Edit from

<add key="ContentHostAbsoluteUri" value="https://SCSM01:443/ContentHost" />

To

<add key="ContentHostAbsoluteUri" value="https://SCSM01.contoso.com:443/ContentHost" />

I needed to edit this otherwise i could not open KA on the portal.

I hope it helps

Hi Alexgarin

I can confirm that the solution that Jesper suggest is working.
If you want to do it another way, directly in the IIS, there is a very fast and simple way to do it.

You can look in my blog post how it´s done:

Fantastic, this solved the problem!

I spend so much time on this, and at the end with the help from this forum it was fixed under 1 minutes!

Good stuff! Thank you very much! I'm sure this will help lost of other people too!

P.S. Now I'm wondering if the same issue will happen when RTM is released :-)

November 7th, 2011 4:42pm

This also solved my problem - Thank you for the post.

I'm now having the same problem with my request offerings.  Even if I click on the generic "Create a request" button on the Portal home page, I end up with the same blank portal page.  Basically, any request offerings end up with the blank Silverlight portion of the page.  The page does get redirected to the request offering page, but no silverlight content.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks.

Thanks for your responses.

Your post helped me make a little progress.  I added in the request offering sharepoint web part and I now see content on my request offering page.  However, now I can't open the form when I click on "Go to request form".  See screenshots below.

All that happens when I click on "Go to request form" is that the page changes to include "This request belongs to:".

Sorry for all the questions and if I'm missing something simple.  I'm new to SM.

Thanks.

Hi All,

After Follow above solution my problem still not resolved.

Give any Good Suggestion to resolve this issue 

June 16th, 2012 5:23pm

Your page is still blank?

Can you submit a screenshot of your portal?

And then aswer these 3 questions 

1. what is the url of your portal?

2. what is the name of your server hosting the scsm web content service?

3. have you configured the portal to use SSL?

Check your port numbers. The web.config file, the bindings on SCSMWebContentServer (in IIS), the Application Settings in the Service Manager Portal site in IIS need to match up.

The Service Manager Portal bindings port number does not need to match up (shouldnt match up?). However, this is the port number you use when accessing the website from a client.

For my install 443 is the port for the former and 444 for the latter.
