There are some opensource portals in the market: Liferay, Jetspeed, JBoss Portal Server, OpenPortal (Sun Java System Portal Server). Here we describe the setup of Liferay portal server. Installation Windows: 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 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: File "server.xml" ... <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> 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. Windows: Command line C:\> D: D:\> cd "D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18\bin" D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18\bin>startup.bat Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-6.0.18 Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-6.0.18 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13 Problem: If the CATALINA_BASE is different from your installation (like in this example), the startup-script found a "CATALINA_HOME" environment variable for another tomcat installation. Solution: Remove the environment variable or change the startup-script: Workaround Tomcat startup.bat ... rem if not "%CATALINA_HOME%" == "" goto gotHome ... Command line C:\> D: D:\> cd "D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18\bin" D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18\bin>startup.bat Using CATALINA_BASE: D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18 Using CATALINA_HOME: D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18\temp Using JRE_HOME: D:\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18/jre1. 5.0_17/win After successful startup you can view the portal pages under: http://localhost:18080/ (depends on your configured port). Login The default login should be "t...@liferay.com / test", which did not work for me... (solution will follow soon hopefully) Change Notification Preferences View Online | View Change | Add Comment
