Ok, I was able to install SP '13, I create an web app and a site collection using the Community Portal template, however, when I access the site, I'm getting the following message:
I have SP '13 running on a VM as a stand alone installation due to I'm doing a POC. I don't need any load balancing enabled or configured.
The load balancer is not provisioned. Verify the load balancer was provisioned successfully before retrieving endpoint addresses.
Correlation ID: d40a119c-eb25-20ff-0000-0f93d46fb54f
However, I was able to create another site and use the Team Site template and it worked fine. So what could be causing me an issue with the Community Portal template?
