Creating a New Portal on the Same Node

When you create a new portal on the same node where you have the first Portal Server installation, you need to create a web container instance. Then, you need to duplicate the Webcontainer.properties file that is available in the Portal Server installation directory and modify the Webcontainer.properties file to direct to the new web container instance. Finally, you can run the psadmin create-portal sub command to create the new portal.

This section explains how to create a new portal on different web containers, such as Sun Java System Web Server, Sun Java System Application Server, IBM WebSphere, and BEA Web Logic.

To Create a New Portal on a New Configuration of Web Server 7.0

Before You Begin

Ensure the following:

• The first Portal Server installation is up and running.

• Access Manager Administrator console is accessible.

• Web Server 7.0 is installed in the default directory.

1. Create a new configuration of Web Server 7.0 on the same node where first portal is up and running.

2. Name the configuration secondportal and assign the port 8100.

3. Copy the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/template/Webcontainer.properties.SJSWS7 file to a PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/secondportal.properties file.

4. Edit the following properties in the secondportal.properties file.

   • Host=hostname.domain

   • Port=8100

   • Scheme=http

   • WebContainerType=SJSWS7

   • WebContainerInstallDir=/opt/SUNWwbsvr7

   • WebContainerInstanceName=secondportal

   • WebContainerDomainName=secondportal

   • WebContainerDocRoot=/var/SUNWwbsvr7/docs

   • WebContainerAdminHost=hostname.domain

   • WebContainerAdminPort=8989

   • WebContainerAdminScheme=https

   • WebContainerAdminUid=admin

5. Create the new portal.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin create-portal -u amadmin -f ps_password -p secondportal --uri /portal -w secondportal.properties

   ---

   Note –

   The ps_password file contains the Access Manager password.

   ---

6. Restart the web container.

7. Verify whether the new portal has been created.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u amadmin -f ps_password

To Create a New Portal on a New Domain of Application Server 8.2

1. Create a new domain, seconddomain, on port 8100.

   /ApplicationServer_base/appserver/bin/asadmin create-domain --adminport 4850 --adminuser admin --instanceport 8100 seconddomain

2. Start the new domain.

   /ApplicationServer_base/appserver/bin/asadmin start-domain --user admin seconddomain

3. Copy the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/template/Webcontainer.properties.SJSAS81 file to a PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/secondportal.properties file.

4. Edit the following properties in the secondportal.properties file.

   • Host=hostname.domain

   • Port=8100

   • Scheme=http

   • WebContainerType=SJSAS81

   • WebContainerInstallDir=/opt/SUNWappserver/appserver

   • WebContainerInstanceName=server

   • WebContainerDomainName=seconddomain

   • WebContainerInstanceDir=/var/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/seconddomain

   • WebContainerDocRoot=/var/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/seconddomain/docroot

   • WebContainerAdminHost=hostname.domain

   • WebContainerAdminPort=4850

   • WebContainerAdminScheme=https

   • WebContainerAdminUid=admin

   • WebContainerAdminPassword=ApplicationServer admin password

   • WebContainerMasterPassword=ApplicationServer master password

5. Create the new portal.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin create-portal -u amadmin -f ps_password -p -secondportal --uri /portal -w secondportal.properties

6. Restart the web container.

7. Verify that the new portal has been created.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u amadmin -f ps_password

To Create a New Portal on a New Domain of BEA WebLogic 8.1 Service Pack 5

1. Create a WebLogic domain, seconddomain running on port 7002.

2. Create a managed server, 7022server, running on port 7022.

3. Go to the WebLogic_base/user_projects/domains/seconddomain directory and start the managed server.

   ./startWeblogic.sh

   ./startManagedWeblogic.sh 7022server

4. Copy the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/template/Webcontainer.properties.BEAWL8 file to a PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/secondportal.properties file.

5. Edit the following properties in the secondportal.properties file.

   • Host=hostname.domain

   • Port=7022

   • Scheme=http

   • WebContainerType=BEAWL8

   • WebContainerInstallDir=/usr/local/bea/weblogic81

   • WebContainerInstanceName=7022server

   • WebContainerInstanceDir=/usr/local/bea/user_projects/domains/seconddomain

   • WebContainerDocRoot=LEAVE BLANK

   • WebContainerAdminHost=hostname.domain

   • WebContainerAdminPort=7002

   • WebContainerAdminScheme=http

   • WebContainerAdminUid=admin userid

   • WebContainerAdminPassword=admin passwd

   • WebContainerJDKDir=/usr/local/bea/jdk142_08

   • WebContainerManagedServer=true

     The value is false, if new portal is installed on the administrator server itself.

6. Create the new portal.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin create-portal -u amadmin -f ps_password -p secondportal --uri /portal -w secondportal.properties

7. Restart the web container.

8. Verify that the new portal has been created.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u amadmin -f ps_password

To Create a New Portal on a New Domain of WebSphere 5.1.1.6

1. Create a WebSphere domain and start the domain.

2. Copy the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/template/Webcontainer.properties.IBMWAS5 to a PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/secondportal.properties file.

3. Edit the following properties in the secondportal.properties file.

   • Host=hostname.domain

   • Port=9080

   • Scheme=http

   • WebContainerType=

   • WebContainerInstallDir=/optM/WebSphere/Express51/AppServer
