The config module in the source code does NOT correspond to 
the a config directory or webapp in the Tomcat artifact tree. 

Instead, if you examine:

shared/lib/configuration-bundles-2.7.0.jar

you will see that the "default" sakai.properties is in there:

org/sakaiproject/config/bundle/default.sakai.properties

To override the default settings, you can place a 
sakai.properties file in a "sakai" directory in 
$CATALINA_HOME by default or set a different directory by 
passing "-Dsakai.home=/a/different/directory/" in your 
JAVA_OPTS per:
