search websphere portal 6 and websphere portal 8 - websphere-portal

I have configured remote search and configured the collections. When in default theme, if I search I can see the search results in the search center. However when in custom theme when I search I see search-results.html page not found error. Could some one point me to resources to debug this issue for version 6 and version 8 of websphere portal. Also I want to show search results of external application like Alfresco using portal 8.

Given that the search results can be seen in the default theme, but not in the custom theme using the same portlet, it seems that the issue is with the custom theme itself.
Make sure that all the necessary DOJO modules and configuration is included in your theme by comparing the HTML page and resource loading (e.g. using fiddler or firebug), and compare with the original theme. Check for any javascript errors or 404s during the page load.
Here are some theme-related troubleshooting guides:
Collecting Data: Problems with modular-based themes in WebSphere Portal
Troubleshooting Web 2.0 issues in Portal 6.1
Deploying Custom Portal 8 Themes - Step By Step Guide
Also, you can index and search a remote site such as an Alfresco-based site using WebSphere Portal Search, but it is limited to public pages only (i.e. portal search will not be able to apply any security to those results that are access-controlled) - .e.g:

Azure app insights are not working after the application is being deployed to Azure App Service

Azure app insights are not working after the application is being deployed to Azure App Service but it's totally looking good on the local.
I have added the Instrumentation key on ApplicationInsights.config file that's being provided by the Azure App Service on the local app and saw the requests are logging on the portal.
In some articles, it suggests that we should not keep some DLLs like
Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll
Microsoft.AspNet.TelemetryCorrelation.dll
System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource.dll
But seems like it's essential for the App insights. I am not sure where I am missing. Could anyone of you guide me on this?
Here are few reasons and solutions that you can have a look why application insights aren't working after deployment.
SCENARIO - 1
Disabled Application insights on portal
Like #Vinez mentioned You can enable them from your appinsights overview page. Scroll down on the same page to see the left pane that shows an option of Application Insights and then “Turn On Application Insights”.
SCENARIO - 2
Missing AppInsights settings
You can navigate to Configuration -> Application settings and check if the appinsights settings (i.e.. APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY, APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING, ApplicationInsightsAgent_EXTENSION_VERSION, XDT_MicrosoftApplicationInsights_Mode) have been added or not with appropriate values.
SCENARIO - 3
ApplicationInsights.Config not deployed with the application.
You can go to App Service Editor (preview) and check whether the AppInsights.config file is being deployed.
You can check this similar thread which deals with build and publish.
SCENARIO - 4
Due to restricted firewall.
Please try checking Enable Azure Application Insights on the VM-Series Firewall
Further you can log the traces and act accodingly using perfview.

DotNetNuke ControlBar not showing

Windows Server 2008 R2
IIS 7.5
DNN 7.2.1
Application Pool - .NET Framework Version = v4.0
After fresh install I get the problem when ControlBar is showing like this in IE10:
and does not respond to any actions.
And Google Chrome shows the website like:
Start by checking to see why your IIS site isn't serving up STATIC Files. Looks like your CSS and Images aren't loading.
Also, make sure the site is not running in Compatibility Mode or you didn't accidentally place the site on the Compatibility list.
You can also try hitting F12, going to the Network tab and refreshing the site. This will let you see if any resources (css/js) aren't getting loaded (404).

Understanding DNN on existing website

I started working on an existing website that uses DNN. I am having difficulty understanding and accessing DNN in their staging/test environment. In IIS there are a few different websites. How can I figure out how to get to the main Admin DNN screen by looking at the information in IIS and exploring to files. Once there I need to apply new licenses for DNN.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
In IIS, right click on the website and choose the Manage Bindings option, that will show you the various Host Names (URLS) that are configured.
Try those URLs, and then put ?CTL=login on the end of the URL to get DNN to load the login control. From there you can login with a HOST or ADMIN account, HOST/SuperUser account would be best, as you can then go to the Host/Portals (Site Management?) page and see how many different "sites" are configured within the DNN installation.

How to set Google Analytics on my website which is created on DNN 6.3?

How can we set Google Analytics on my website which is created on DNN 6.3.
Is there any need to install google analytics module in DNN 6.3 (I think it is already inbuilt in upper version of DNN 6.0) or it just start working by only set Tracking Id in admin section.
Actually what i did :> I have created an account with "Google Analytics" & set our site parameters after that I got Tracking Id which I have set to my DNN account.
Now what i had seen on my Google Analytics account there was no counting of any report all are showing zero. But during that time i was visit more than 5 times on my website.
So if anyone have an idea what i was doing wrong kindly suggest to me :)
There is no such thing as DNN 6.3. It went from 6.2.x to 7.0.x... But, you don't need to install any additional modules for DNN 6.x to get Google Analytics to show up. You just need to enter your Tracking ID in Admin -> Google Analytics.
Then you can check whether it's working correctly by verifying it rendered in the HTML. Bring up your site in your browser and then view the source of the page. Then search for "UA-". If it finds it, then that should be the Google Analytics snippet. If it didn't find it, then there's something going wrong.
Keep in mind that by default Google Analytics won't show the current day's hits. You have to modify the date range to include todays date.
