1. Add the following to knowledge-base-portlet-6.1.0.1.war\WEB-INF\classes\portlet-ext.properties:
   • admin.kb.article.sections =Application Server,Authentication,Content Management,Database,Development,General,Plugins,Portlets,Security,Server Configuration,User Interface
2. Start Liferay
3. Deploy the Knowledge Base portlet
4. Navigate to Control Panel > Knowledge Base (Admin)
5. Click Add Article
6. Title: "This is KBASE"
7. Content: "This is a Kbase Article created from the control panel"
8. Publish

System error message and the following console errors:

Same thing when adding an article through the portlet.

No Longer Reproducible on:
Jetty 7.5.1 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.1.x EE GIT ID: 6698dc5c5f413f7a0b5c8abb544f68f9eb203551.
Knowledge Base Plugin 6.1.x EE GIT ID: 7adca366f13998369c44c0a32d9975fa4774e213.

Seemed to have been fixed some where along the way.
