NullPointerException while using "How to Create a Fully Featured Internet Website"

[Former Community Member]

I am new with CQ5 and was trying the steps given "How to Create a Fully Featured Internet Website" (http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/howto/website.html). I have two issues -

1.

I have uploaded the "website-1.0" package and I can see the output in author environment but the top navigation image is not appearing.

When I hit "http://localhost:4502/cf#/content/mywebsite.html" I get following exceptions -

Error during include of component '/libs/foundation/components/toolbar'

Error Message:
org.apache.sling.api.scripting.ScriptEvaluationException

Under full exception list I see following  -

Caused by: org.apache.sling.api.SlingException:

2. When I publish the website using "Replication-Activate Tree" , I see only blank page when I hit "http://localhost:4503/content/mywebsite/en/products.html" URL.

When I hit "http://localhost:4503/content/mywebsite/" I see following error -

403 Forbidden

Cannot serve request to /content/mywebsite/ on this server

Please help as I am not able to get the solution for these 2 issue.

Many Thanks!!

There could be issue with the steps or your environment. What version of CQ do you have?

I am going going to step through this with AEM 5.6 to see if i get the same results as you. However - the steps should be valid for the corresponding version of CQ. 

I will post the results and let you know if there is an issue with the steps.

I wanted to provide an update on this thread.  I am going through this section this weekend to make sure that there are no issues that would explain the Java exception.

I am up to this point:

I followed the topic  -- and i got the proper result as shown here:

Thank you for your quick response. I am using version 5.6.0 of CQ.

Please find attached screen shots for the issues. Screen shot page1 to page4 are for 1st issue and the screen shot 2nd_issue for 2nd issue of publishing site.

Thanks for your help!!

Can  you try un-installing the website-1.0 package, clearing your browser cache, then re-installing the website package. I have tested this and it works.
