If you use ATG Portal with the Portal.paf and Portal.gears modules, you can access an empty Portal application. This default Portal provides you with a starting point for Portal development. It defines the basic information (colors, templates, the admin user) needed to start building your own portal, but does not define any communities or community pages. To administer the default Portal and begin development of a new Portal:
Assemble an application that includes the
Portal.gearsmodule.For information about assembling applications, see the ATG Platform Programming Guide.
Deploy and start your application according to the instructions provided in your application server manuals.
Open the Portal Administration, as described in the Opening the Portal Administration Pages section, by pointing your browser to:
http://hostname:port/portal/adminwhere
hostnameis the machine that runs your application server andportis the port number your application server uses to listen for HTTP requests. For the default port, see the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.Create a new community folder, new communities, and new community pages, as described in the Community Administration chapter.
