I have previously tested Liferay 6.x, and found it very interesting - but I has no project to use it for.
Now, I will take a look at Liferay Portal 7 (still have nothing to use it for)...
First, the basic install it pretty simple, add Java and Postgres to the Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install default-jdk sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
JDK is needed, not JRE, this will give this in the logs:
13:04:21,995 ERROR [http-nio-8080-exec-1][render_portlet_jsp:77] null org.apache.jasper.JasperException: PWC6345: There is an error in invoking javac. A full JDK (not just JRE) is required
Add the database:
postgres=# CREATE ROLE lruser WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'jellyfish' VALID UNTIL 'infinity';CREATE ROLE postgres=# CREATE DATABASE lportal WITH ENCODING='UTF8' OWNER=lruser CONNECTION LIMIT=-1; CREATE DATABASE
Unzip the downloaded portal and start it:
First screen:
Next screen:
Restart the Portal:
root@lrserver:/data/liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga3/tomcat-8.0.32/bin# ./shutdown.sh root@lrserver:/data/liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga3/tomcat-8.0.32/bin# ./startup.sh
Reload the portal:
Here it get a bit wierd, as Username/password was never given/setup to the install - after a short google, I found that test@liferay-com/test works.
And the portal is up:
And looking at my User "NN" its not impressive - a stange mix between the input I have given and some setup automatically:
