Building and Deploying Instructions for:

...

wget http://downloads.jasig.org/uportal/uPortal-4.12.x/uPortal-4.12.x.tar.gz

• After you have downloaded uPortal, unpack the uPortal source outside the Tomcat container (i.e., /usr/local/src or any directory outside tomcat)

tar -xvf uPortal-4.12.x.tar.gz

Now, we can configure your uPortal for deployment

Step 1: Configure the build.properties file

 The uPortal build requires a build.properties file describing the deployment environment to be available in the root of the uPortal project.

     1. Go to your uPortal source directory and create the build.properties file by copying the build.properties.sample file to build.properties

...

• In the filters folder, locate the default local.properties file and configure the Database Connection Settings, uPortal Server Configuration Properties,  CAS Server Configuration, Logging information, and LDAP settings. Replace localhost:8080 with your server name.

uPortal provides an optional mechanism to override these settings with a file that is completely outside uPortal source. This approach allows systems administrators to change these settings without rebuilding.  It also provides an easy way for adopters to keep sensitive information outside of their Source Code Management system (See Properties Files and Properties Overrides).

tar -xvf uPortal-4.12-quick-start.tar.gz

Step 2: Set up JAVA_HOME

...

Start uPortal by running the ant command from inside the uPortal-4.12-quick-start directory
