Where is Sakai's primary properties file, sakai.properties?

Where is sakai.properties, the primary properties file for configuring Sakai?

As typically deployed, sakai.properties is at [apache-tomcat]/sakai/sakai.properties , where [apache-tomcat] is the path to your installation of the Java Servlet Container (Apache Tomcat).

There's no magic that puts the sakai.properties file there -- if you don't yet have your own sakai.properties file for defining the overrides to default property values in your environment, you'll need to add one there. You need only define those properties where you'd like to override the default values.
