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.

To Create a New Portal on a New Domain of Application Server 9.1

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.SJSAS91 file to a PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/secondportal.properties file.

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

   • Host=myhostname.mydomain

   • Port=8080

   • Scheme=http

   • WebContainerType=SJSAS91

   • WebContainerInstallDir=/opt/SUNWappserver/appserver

   • WebContainerInstanceName=server

   • WebContainerDomainName=seconddomain

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

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

   • WebContainerAdminHost=myhostname.mydomain

   • WebContainerAdminPort=4850

   • WebContainerAdminScheme=https

   • WebContainerAdminUid=admin

   • WebContainerAdminPassword=Application Server admin password

   • WebContainerMasterPassword=Application Server master password

   • ClusterID=cluster id

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
