Dave, Thanks for the info. I solved the problem by putting database configuration to planet-customer.properties as you suggested.
I am still not clear on how to set up a community site from the documentation. It will be very helpful if the documentation has steps/example on setting up community site. I did the following steps but still not sure how to proceed to get a community site. 1. create a 'frontpage' blog 2. make 'frontpage' as frontpage blog in server admin section. 3. check 'Enable aggregated site-wide frontpage' checkbox. When I get front page of roller, I just see an empty blog page for 'frontpage' blog. How do I proceed from here? Any document on how to set up a community site based on roller blogs?
