A couple of things i forgot to mention
* If you get a "Sum file already exists" error wile deploying remove the
META-INF/config.ser.sh1 file
from the liferay-portal-geronimo-tomcat-4.2.0.car
* Correction: You don't need to run the mysql-index script as the
index:s is already there.

Hi all
After trying lots of alternatives to get Liferay 4.2.0 running in
Geronimo 1.1.1 without getting a
"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" or other errors i finally
got it up an running.
The setup I ended up with was a slightly modify
liferay-portal-geronimo-tomcat-4.2.0.car
to match the mysql database pool settings by editing the
geronimo-web.xml file in the car:s /WEB-INF/ dir.
Obs! you do not need to do this modifications if you intend to use the
derby database pool car file that are
part of the liferay download files at
http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/downloads the thing you may need to
take a look at is the "Memory settings" section below.
Setup Instruction
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
The following is a short setup instruction that hopefully will help
other Geronimo users to get Liferay
up and running smoothly with a mysql database back end.
Memory settings:
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
This is the memory settings i found useful
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xms128M
-Xmx1024M -server -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT"
The important part here is the -XX:MaxPermSize setting as the default
64m did not work (on my machine).
Thanks Kevan for the hint, I though i had it right.
Database setup:
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Download the liferay-portal-sql-4.2.0.zip extract and run the
create-mysql.sql script it will create a
database called lportal for you. For better performance you should
also extract and run the
indexes-mysql.sql file.
Setting up the pool is easily done using the geronimo database pool
wizard giving the pool the
name "LifrayPool" and database type "MySQL" setting the (your
preferred) user and password combo.
This will create a J2EE connector with the following component name
"console.dbpool/LiferayPool/1.0/rar".
Modifying geronimo-web.xml to match the db pool:
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Extract the /WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml file from the
liferay-portal-geronimo-tomcat-4.2.0.car and
change the pool dependency settings to match your mysql pool from
<dependency>
<groupId>liferay</groupId>
<artifactId>liferay-pool</artifactId>
<type>car</type>
</dependency>
to
<dependency>
<groupId>console.dbpool</groupId>
<artifactId>LiferayPool</artifactId>
<type>rar</type>
</dependency>
(note: don't miss the type change)
* Replace the the files in the
liferay-portal-geronimo-tomcat-4.2.0.car file with your changes.
* Stop the geronimo welcome app. (as it is running at the root "/").
* deploy the modified liferay-portal-geronimo-tomcat-4.2.0.car file
and you should be up and running.
I hope these instructions comes in handy ;)
Cheers

My JAVA_OPTS is fine.
I decided to try out the MySql setup using liferay-portal-4.2.0.war,
liferay-portal-sql-4.2.0.zip,
liferay-portal-dependencies-4.2.0.zip and roughly following the 4.0
install doc
http://content.liferay.com/4.0.0/docs/install/ch01s01.html
After modifying the geronomo-web.xml file to match my database pool
settings i manage to load liferay into geronomo
but when starting it i get the following error.
ERROR [[/liferay]] Error configuring application listener of class
com.liferay.portal.servlet.PortalSessionListener
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/liferay/portal/PortalException
:
and yes looking in the portal-kernel-2.4.jar (and the other
dependency jars) checking for the com.liferay.portal.servlet path
it dose not exist, without looking at the source code the closest you
get to the package path is com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet
It seems that ether the web.xml file or the portal-kernel-2.4.jar
file has been packed wrongly.
Dose anyone familiar with Liferay know whats going on?
As I mentioned i modified the geronimo-web.xml file a bit as it
assumed a dependency (and context root) as follows
<dependency>
<groupId>liferay</groupId>
<artifactId>liferay-pool</artifactId>
<type>car</type>
</dependency>
<context-root>/</context-root>
to the following using the geronimo database pool wizard to set up
the mysql pool and changing the context root to /liferay so that it
would not clash with the welcome app.
<dependency>
<groupId>console.dbpool</groupId>
<artifactId>LiferayPool</artifactId>
<type>rar</type>
</dependency>
<context-root>/liferay</context-root>
This worked find and geronimo accepted the plan and deployed the
liferay app.
Assuming I get hold of the right dependancy jar:s (or already have
them) should they maybe be set up as dependency:s in the
geronimo-web.xml file to make sure the classes get loaded?

Hi all
Liferay 4.1.0 just got public ;) (yesterday) but I'm having
problem getting it running in Geronimo 1.1.1. I have tried both
the liferay-portal-geronimo-tomcat-4.2.0.car plugin (with the
dbpool liferay-portal-geronimo-derby-pool-4.2.0.car) and the
Liferay Portal Enterprise 4.2.0 (Bundled with Geronimo+Tomcat)
Using:

Has anyone else got it up and running on G1.1.1?
Anny ideas about what may be wrong here or pointers to something i
may have missed?
Hi Peter,
I haven't tried deploying Liferay.
If you haven't already, suggest you bump up your PermGen space with
something like:
export JAVA_OPTS=-XX:MaxPermSize=128m (if you're already setting
JAVA_OPTS, adjust accordingly...)
Let us know how things go...
