Hi,
I was not able to get Sakai up and running as you said in previous messages.

I have described all steps see if you find any mistake in any of them.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I do not have a GUI to the said machine
just an SSH console on LAN.

Step 1)
I downloaded apache-tomcat-5.5.29 in /root/lmses/test/

Step 2 ) extracted and went to following
/root/lmses/test/apache-tomcat-5.5.29/conf

Step 3) Downloaded sakai-2.7  binary

Step 4) verified Java 1.6 is installed and JAVA_HOME is set in /root/.bashrc

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20
java -version gives following output

java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)

Step 6)
Checked page
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Install+Guide+-+Binary+Install+(2.7)

there is a section
Specify an HTTP Proxy (optional)
I am in a network which has a proxy
you have not mentioned where can I find the variable
-Dhttp.proxyHost=cache.some.domain
-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

which file can I find them.

Step 7) Opened /root/lmses/test/apache-tomcat-5.5.29/conf/server.xml
and changed value of following
Server port="9005"

Connector port="9090"
 redirectPort="9443"

there was one more line where following  Connector port was mentioned
as 8009 so changed to
 <Connector port="9009"
              enableLookups="false" redirectPort="9443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />

Step 8) In another file  in same directory server-minimal.xml

Changed
Server port="9005"


Connector port="9090"

there is one more line where following was mentioned as 8009
<Connector port="9009" protocol="AJP/1.3" />

Step 9) I checked on LAN http://192.168.1.5:9090
Got a Tomcat welcome page


Step 10) executed
svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/tags/sakai-2.7.0 sakai
from tomcat root
/root/lmses/test/apache-tomcat-5.5.29/

Now I have the full directory structures

access        blog       content-review
framework-shared-deploy  login        osp        presence    roster
  taggable        warehouse
alias         calendar   core-deploy                gradebook
     mailarchive  pack-demo  providers   rwiki        textarea
was
announcement  chat       courier                    help
     master       podcasts   reference   sections     tool
web
archive       citations  dav                        jstl-shared-deploy
     memory       pom.xml    reports     site         user
webservices
assignment    config     ECLv2-header-template.txt  kernel-deploy
     message      portal     reset-pass  site-manage  usermembership
authz         content    ECLv2.txt                  linktool
     metaobj      postem     rights      syllabus     velocity



otherwise the binary files were not having them.

Step 11) Checked if sakai.properties exist

find ./ -name sakai.properties


/providers/cm-authz-integration-test/src/test/resources/enrollment-only-configuration/sakai.properties
./providers/cm-authz-integration-test/src/test/resources/default/sakai.properties
./reference/docs/sakai.properties
./reference/demo/sakai.properties


Step 12) Changed /reference/docs/sakai.properties and copied it to
/root/lmses/test/apache-tomcat-5.5.29/sakai/sakai.properties

( I see a directory named portal in here)
but when I checked

http://192.168.1.5:9090

the server which has above line for sakai is not having a monitor
attached so is locahost correct for that or should  I replace it with
IP of remote server.
serverName is localhost

Step 13 ) I checked http://192.168.1.5:9090/portal
the url was not found

what mistake did I did in above.
