Virtual: Why not - the benefist are huge
Preferred OS: Ubuntu LTS 64-bit
Hardware: At least 2 CPU's and at least 4 GB Ram
Different Libs for image support (ImageMagick), SWFTools (Flash), etc
sudo apt-get install mysql-server ImageMagick GhostScript smbclient libjpeg62 libgif4 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ffmpeg sudo apt-get install libart-2.0-2 wget http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/swftools/swftools_0.9.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb chmod a+x swftools_0.9.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i swftools_0.9.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb sudo rm swftools_0.9.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb |

Create the Database
mysql>mysql> create database liferay CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,ALTER,INDEX on liferay.* to liferay@localhost identified by '*****'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) |
Download Liferay from https://www.liferay.com/downloads/liferay-portal/overview
JAVA is not integrated, and must be installed
MySQL Driver is at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
Upzip the download
cd /opt unzip liferay-portal-tomcat-6.2-ce-ga2-20140319114139101.zip mv liferay-portal-tomcat-6.2-ce-ga2-20140319114139101 liferay |
If You use MySQL, we need to copy in the driver (get it here) first to /opt/alfresco/tomcat/lib:
sudo cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar /opt/liferay/tomcat-7.0.42/lib |
Enter MySQL stuff
vi /opt/liferay/tomcat-7.0.42/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/portal-ext.properties jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/liferay?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false jdbc.default.username=liferay jdbc.default.password=****** |
Start Liferay
cd /opt/liferay/tomcat-7.0.42/bin ./startup.sh Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/alfresco/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/alfresco/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/alfresco/tomcat/temp Using JRE_HOME: /opt/alfresco/java Using CLASSPATH: /opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar Using CATALINA_PID: /opt/alfresco/tomcat/temp/catalina.pid Tomcat started. /opt/alfresco/tomcat/scripts/ctl.sh : tomcat started root@myserver:~# |
See everything is ok:
root@myserver:~# tail -f /opt/alfresco/tomcat/logs/catalina.out |
If the database bootstrap fails due to Driver failure, Yo will see:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Database connection failed: Cannot create JDBC driver of class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver' for connect URL 'jdbc:mysql:localhost/alfresco' |
Easiest way to restart setup is to kill the java process and remove the install dir:
killall -9 java rm -rf /opt/alfresco |
Also review http://docs.alfresco.com/community/concepts/prereq-opt-install.html
You can move the data dir /opt/alfresco/alf_data to another location (Renaming is not recommeded, the "alf_data" name is in several config files allover)
unzip /etc/init.d/alfresco stop cd /opt/alfresco/ mv alf_data /data/ ln -s /data/alf_data . /etc/init.d/alfresco start |
Edit the /opt/alfresco/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties and check paths
Edit the /opt/alfresco/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

There are good reasons for using an Apache or Traffic Manager in front of the Alfresco Installation, some are:
Se my example in Apache2 Proxy Passing
Instead of having Alfreso putting deleted files into the contentstore.deleted directory, which has to be cleaned manually, read http://blyx.com/2014/08/18/understanding-alfresco-content-deletion/ and add the amp https://code.google.com/p/alfresco-trashcan-cleaner/ into /op/alfresco/amps/
Edit the /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

Batch upload to Alfresco sites via CIFS
Set up logrotate to avoid ever growing catalina.out log file. Here JIRA_Home is /opt/jira, logs are rotated daily and kept for 7 days:
