  2. Start the web container.

  3. Invoke the GUI installer and install the portal bits with Configure Later option.

    The example files can be accessed from <PS_INSTALL_DIR>/SUNWportal/samples/psconfig in case of Solaris and <PS_INSTALL_DIR>/portal/samples/psconfig directory in case of Linux. README.txt in the same directory explains the configuration of each example file.

  7. Start the CACAO.
