    <summary type="html">Hello, I&amp;#39;m new to Liferay.   I install liferay with the steps in http://blog.163.com/sqw553554201@126/blog/static/92958282201122810146825/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I want to change something in portal.properties, but I can&amp;#39;t find it in my ...\liferay-portal-6.0.6\tomcat-6.0.29\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that folder, there&amp;#39;re only  &lt;br /&gt;log4j.properties&lt;br /&gt;logging.properties&lt;br /&gt;portal-developer.properties&lt;br /&gt;portal-legacy-4.4.properties&lt;br /&gt;portal-legacy-5.0.properties&lt;br /&gt;portal-legacy-5.1.properties&lt;br /&gt;portal-legacy-5.2.properties&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in some folders like webapps\kaleo-web\WEB-INF\classes , there are portal.properties.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I create a portal.properties in ...\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes, and change some configure like logout path, but it doesn&amp;#39;t work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if there are something wrong when I install the liferay , or other reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I use netbeans6.9.1 and liferay6.0.6. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forgive me my English. And thanks in advance.</summary>
