- 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.
