Deploy the Geoportal Web Application

Copy the geoportal.war file from /usr/local/etc/geoportal/Web\ Applications/Geoportal to /usr/local/tomcat6/webapps.

$ sudo cp /usr/local/etc/geoportal/Web\ Applications/Geoportal/geoportal.war /usr/local/tomcat6/webapps/

Apache Tomcat should automcatically create a new geoportal directory in the webapps directory. This is the location of the geoportal web interface. If the directory is not created, verify that the Apache Tomcat service is running and try restarting the service. You may need to reboot your computer.

Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/geoportal. The default geoportal home page should appear.
