Impossible to start portal after installing 10.5.1

[JulienLengrand-Lambert]

Hi there, 

We are trying to install our first ESRI site. 

I have used the entreprise builder, and everything is setup on the same machine.

I have been able to setup the server and the first web adaptor, but for some reason I have been unable to ever start the portal.

This is the stack trace I get in the logs when starting the portal:

Checking in the file system, I have indeed no portal/usr/arcgisportal folder.

I tried to uninstall / reinstall the entreprise builder, without success. I have also tried to install the portal only, without success either. Even after redownloading the whole installer files.

I do not get why the folder isn't there right after installation, and haven't found any resource online about the issue.

Any help would be largely appreciated.

It sounds like manually creating the folder solved the issue.....
