Hi,

The proxy settings need to be specified to the JVM, so you need to set them in your JAVA_OPTS. 
And sakai.properties by default live in $CATALINA_HOME/sakai/sakai.properties but you can change the default location if desired (via another JAVA_OPT).

You've skipped over a few steps in the install guide, since you are building from source, check this page instead:
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Install+Guide+-+Source+Install+(2.7)

cheers,
Steve
