Not able to create folder for editable templates - AEM 6.3

[vitis90]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new folder for my project to create editable templates but its always throwing an error. I'm getting this in error.log. I'm using 6.3. Has anyone seen such an error?

Where are you trying to create a folder?

vitis90​, it looks to me like you are using the Template console (http://localhost:4502/libs/wcm/core/content/sites/templates.html) that we use for creating templates and not "FOLDERS". Folders for hosting Editable Templates need to be created from CRXDE Lite and grant proper permissions.

Now, going back to your question, the error message states "com.day.cq.wcm.core.impl.servlets.CreateTemplateServlet Unable to create template java.lang.NullPointerException: null", which suggests to me that some values are missing; it's like you didn't provide proper name for the Editable Template or may you are logged with a user other than "admin" and don't have permissions to write to selected folder.

We need more information as to what steps you're taking that result in that error.
