Hi all,

when I'm using the /share application I can't create a new site. After filling in name and description the app stops responding with the error "can't create site".

The site name itself is a simple 5 character word: atoll. The error messages from the log (catalina.out) follows..

Thanks for help,

Cheers,

Ama

I have the same problem, when I am trying to search for sites I get the following error:-

Error during processing of the template 'Expression jsonUtils.encodeJSONString(x) is undefined on line 2, column 23 in org/alfresco/repository/site/site.lib.ftl.'. Please contact your system administrator.

Expression jsonUtils.encodeJSONString(x) is undefined on line 2, column 23 in org/alfresco/repository/site/site.lib.ftl.
The problematic instruction:
———-

 in user-directive siteLib.siteJSON [on line 5, column 17 in org/alfresco/repository/site/sites.get.json.ftl]
