- Unzip file "liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3.zip" to a suitable folder. Do not use a path, which contains spaces! Otherwise you will get runtime errors. So use e.g. "D:\". New folder is then "D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\".
Configuration
Connector Port
If you do not want the portal to run under the port 8080, you have to edit the tomcat configuration file D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18\conf\server.xml, e.g. to use 18080 instead:
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
...
<Server port="*18005*" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
...
<Connector port="*18080*" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="*18443*" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
...
<Connector port="*18009*" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="*18443*" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
...
</Server>
|
Database
If you do want to change the database from the default (in memory) database to e.g. PostgreSQL, you have to create/edit this in the file "...\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\portal-ext.properties":
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
... # # PostgreSQL # jdbc.default.driverClassName=org.postgresql.Driver jdbc.default.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/pg_liferay jdbc.default.username=pg_liferay jdbc.default.password=life1ray2 ... |
Hint: Copying of JDBC-driver to Liferay is not necessary, it's already there in "...\tomcat-6.0.18\lib\ext\".
Usage
You can start the enclosed Tomcat in the same way as you would if you had downloaded Tomcat separately.
Tomcat is launched by way of a script which is found in its bin subfolder.
...
After successful startup you can view the portal pages under: http://localhost:18080/ (depends on your configured port).
Be aware that Liferay is running on an In-Memory-Database unless you do not configure your own database! All changes will get lost.
Login
The default login should be "test@liferay.com / test" , which did not work for me... (solution will follow soon hopefully)(admin handbook), but for some reason they changed it. Now the login is "bruno@7cogs.com / bruno".
