Requirements
To create a portal, you must first have installed a database.
The following guide assumes that you are using PostgreSQL.
You have the option of creating a portal directly on the Linux server using a shell script.
The following describes how to do this as "root".
Create a portal as the root user
Run the following command to create a portal from the terminal:
root@linux:/opt/intrexx/bin/linux# ./buildportal.sh -t
The routine for creating a portal will start.
