Documentation on installing the portal can be found

here: http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.0Final/user-guide/en/html/

key points on installing Portal :

• when configuring your database connector, make sure

the .jar file is in the $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib

directory

-example for MySQL connector is mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin.jar

• when you create the database the username and password should match

those specified in the portal-hsqldb-ds.xml file. Be sure to change

the descriptor according to your own flavor of database. Here is an

example of MySQL configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
