Hi
Is it possible to change the default context "/portal" to a custom one if required? For example I want to change the <<host>>:<<port>>/ portal TO <<host>>:<<port>>/ MyPortal
If someone has done something like this I would like to know.
Thanks

In an older version of Vignette we needed to do this, I assume it still applies to the latest Vignette version.
We renamed the portal.war (or the directory once it was deployed to on JBoss) to "ourPortal". We then changed the portal.http.root property in /vignetteInstall/config/properties.txt to "ourPortal".
Once we fired JBoss up after the changes we browsed to <host>:<port>\ourPortal
Again we did this in in an older version of Vignette 7.1 I think and I assume it still applies as we have upgraded to 7.4 and it still works after we make the chnages.
Hope this helps and if you have any other questions let me know.
Good Luck!
Brett , thanks for the input.
I am using VAP 8.0, I have one question if you can recollect the correct properties file.
The property "portal.http.root" is it to be found in /<<installdir>>/confir/properties.txt or
does it have to change in /<<installdir>>/systeme/portalserver.properties
Because, though it works after the change ( property has been changed in portalserver.properties) but the pages are unable to find the style sheets path. I was wondering if there is any other change that may be required.
Thanks for inputs

I don't recall us having that problem; then again we are on Vignette 7.4 not 8.
The only change we made was to the properties.txt file in the conf directory; we didnt touch the portalserver.properties. I assume that you changed the portal.war (or the directory name) to yourPortal.war and bounced the server.
One other thing that my need to be done is in /usr/jakarta/tomcat/conf there are 2 files portal.xml and portal.000 they should be renamed to yourPortal.000 and yourPortal.xml; all references to "portal" in these files should be changed to "yourPortal". We did this a few years back on tomcat, we have since moved to JBoss and I dont receall if we needed to make the changes there too.
Hope this helps!
