1. Application Servers

This chapter contains detailed instructions for installing Liferay Portal using its EAR or WAR distribution. This allows system administrators to deploy Liferay in existing application server installations. It is recommended to have a good undertanding of the deployment procedure of Java EE applications in the application server of choice.

Please note that while Liferay Portal supports a wide rage of databases, for brevity this section assumes MySQL as the database. To use other databases, please subsitute that database JDBC driver and URL to those required by your database. Consult the databases section below for special instructions for some databases.

[Note]Note

The following instructions assume an installation on a local machine. When installing to a server just change localhost with the host name or IP of the server.

    Note: If you are using JDK 1.4, you must download and install the JDK 1.4 Compatability Package at tomcat.apache. For JDK 1.4 users: delete $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar. For JDK 5 users: move $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar to TOMCAT_HOME/common/endorsed.

  3. Download MySQL from www.mysql.com and install.

  4. Create and edit $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml to set up the portal web application.

  8. Configure data sources for your database. Make sure the JDBC driver for your database is accessible by Tomcat.

    1. Download mysql-connector-java-{$version}-bin.jar. (This is the JDBC connector for MySQL, for other databases, go to appropriate website to download.)

    2. Copy to $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/ext.

  9. Edit $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml.

    <Context...>

    		name="mail/MailSession"
    		auth="Container"
    		type="javax.mail.Session"
    		mail.transport.protocol="smtp"

    	/>
    </Context>
    
  12. Configure JAAS.

    Edit $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml and configure a security realm.

  14. Create $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/jaas.config.

    PortalRealm {
    	com.liferay.portal.kernel.security.jaas.PortalLoginModule required;
    };
    
    
  15. Edit $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.bat so that Tomcat can reference the login module.

    rem ----- Execute...
    
    set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT -Djava.security.auth.login.config=%CATALINA_HOME%/conf/jaas.config
