Following is my addition to portal-ext.properties for setting up ImageMagick with Liferay
I have installed ImageMagick in D drive as mention below :
imagemagick.global.search.path=D:\\ImageMagick-6.8.3-Q16
imagemagick.enabled=true
preview functionality:
dl.file.entry.preview.enabled=true
dl.file.entry.thumbnail.enabled=true
Set this to true to enable conversion and previewing of videos in the Document Library portlet:
xuggler.enabled=true
In Server Administration--->External servics tab, I have configured it correctly and also downloaded/install jar related to Xuggler.
However, above settings are not working for me to generate preview functionality.
I am not even getting message dispalyed like "Generating preview require few more time, please refresh the page after some time....blah blah blah...."
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Have you configured Xuggler properly? Do you get an UnsatisfiedLinkError exception?
See Xuggler's FAQ for the steps to configure your path properly
If it shows that message "Generating preview...", seems that Liferay doesn't detect this file as a video file (the Mime Type isn't any of the values in the property: dl.file.entry.preview.video.mime.types).
I also saw this problem when uploading videos using some browsers. Try uploading using another one.
For me, the solution was to symlink /usr/bin/convert to /usr/local/bin/convert
Whatever I did, nothing seemed to work. All configuration was pointing to /usr/bin (both control panel and portal-ext.properties). As a last resort, not really believing that it will work, I just did the symlink, as that was the default location for liferay.
And it works! All my configuration still points to /usr/bin. So... it looks like liferay just ignores all that config and only looks to default folder.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, imagemagick from package manager. Liferay 6.1.2 GA3.
I hope it helps someone.

After start Crafter CMS Authoring mode successfully, I create a new site as instructed at Crafter CMS Your First Website, but the results are not the same as the description of the tutorial, all pages have status "Deleted". See the screenshot here.
Please let me know what's wrong and how to solve it. Thanks.
It's difficult to know what the issue is here because there is no log file (link does not work) but I do notice on the image a couple of things:
Everything is showing a deleted status, typically if the item is NOT in the repository it does not show at all. The deleted status typically shows up on historical dashboards.
Everything is lower cased/filename rather than internal name from the file

Anything you can tell us like:
OS version
Java version
Steps you took / how to reproduce
Other servers running for anything else?
I believe the correct answer to this is that there is an error in the Windows binary. I tried installing on 3 different Windows machines and had the same issue as the original poster. Plus the OP stated that the Linux distribution worked for them. I hope the Crafter people will look at this and make the correction.
In Liferay Developer Studio, I am try to set the Runtime Environment for my local server. After selecting a runtime environment from the drop down, I then try to save the change and get the following message:
The server cannot be saved for the following reasons: [Overview] Changing runtime base directories is not supported.
Is this a change I need to do manually in a configuration file, or should I going elsewhere to change the runtime environment?
It seems to be a known issue in Liferay IDE, check the issue.
You may have a clean version of the Liferay-Tomcat bundle given along with the Liferay IDE. What I recommand you is to create a new server that refers to this runtime environnement.
If you don't have a clean version of the Liferay-Tomcat bundle you can download new one from Liferay official site.
I found a way to get the existing runtime evironment changed.
I first had to go to the server properties and select "Switch Location". This moved the server properties from "[workspace metadata] to my workspace/servers/ directory.
Inside the .server file, I just had to change the runtime-id property to one of my predefined runtimes, in my case...
runtime-id="Liferay v6.2 EE (Tomcat 7)"
My Liferay server is now working as expected.
Problem
I uploaded an image using the inbuilt tool and added it to a blog post. All this on the production server, across the pond in Montana, US.
It displays fine (using the correct absolute path it should: "/Media/Default/BlogPost/...") in the preview of the blog post. But once I publish it, I get a broken image in the live site. The reason being that the path renders as:
http://localhost:[port number]/Media/Default/BlogPost/...
Obviously, if running on a Dev machine, this will still work, but once on the live web server, this no longer works.
History
I downloaded WebMatrix onto my machine, downloaded orchard, installed the Minty theme, made a new theme that uses Minty as the BaseTheme. Then, once everything was almost there, uploaded onto the live web server.
I can't see how this can affect how the server interprets an absolute path, but maybe I am missing something?
Fudged solution
I can fudge a solution by using the URL of the site i.e. I open the image picker and in the URL for the image resource text box I put:
http://blogs.mysite.co.uk/Media/Default/BlogPost/...
With this full URL, the problem goes away, but it is a fudge and I shouldn't need to do this.
Any suggestions?
#gelistir from the Orchard discussion pages answered this.
It is caused by a module, the Vanderlay Relative URL Filter module. Disabling the module (that I wasn't using anyway, not even sure what it does...) solved the issue.
For whatever this is worth, more than 2 years have passed since the question was asked. Anyway, if the problem described here happens to you, on the dashboard go into Settings and under "General", set your base url to your "http://www.yourdomain.com", instead of to "http://localhost[portnumber]". This is where the Vanderlay module gets the url to rewrite from.

Im new with liferay have a problem with portlet deployment using the plugins sdk,
Platform:
liferay-portal-tomcat-5.5-5.1.2,
liferay-plugins-sdk-5.2.2,
windows vista.
Problem:
I have successfully created a sample portlet with ant and deployed it into the hot-deploy folder. It is automatically picked up by the server but the console messages say that the portlet has been copied successfully and never registers it.. and i cant find it in the add application drop-down menu.. pls your help will be very appreciated.
I don't know if anything important changed in these versions, but you say you're using Liferay 5.1.2 with the plugin environment 5.2.2 - try with matching versions - at least on the second digit.
also, make sure that all required files are available - among them are WEB-INF/web.xml, WEB-INF/portlet.xml.
Create a new sample portlet with "create.bat" in the plugin SDK's portlet folder and deploy this - it should succeed. Then make sure that all config files from the new one are present in your current one.
How did you create your current portlet? What did you do/change?
I recently switched from Vista to Windows 7 (with IIS 7.5). But i can't seem to get it fully working.
My problem: I run Visual Studio 2008 (sp1) (run as administrator) and i see my WebSite (webforms).
I publish my website, and all seems well, except my layout is wasted.. why? i get a 404 on my CSS and javascript file.
I read an article that you need content server (service?) installed. After some translation i figured that should be "Statische inhoud" (dutch.. translated static content).
I triple checked that the .js and .css files are in te folder i'm pointing to (tried root folder of the website), but all in veighn...
Here is my IIS-component list that is installed (in dutch).
Anyone able to figure out why i get 404's? or even beter, how do i fix it?

I had this problem and spent 6 hours doing research and trying out many suggested solutions.
We resolved this by granting the default IIS user access to the application folder.
Well, i finally figured it out :)
Hope some else will be helped by this answer:
It was related to the Static File Module.
Microsoft has a solution which did not work for me.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942052/
It was already configured this way.
But i deleted it, added it again, i could access my CSS... but ASPX didn't work anymore. The Fix for that issue: Make the list Sorted, and move your static filehandler to the bottom (or a least after aspx, but probably the best is at the bottem).
Thanxs everyone for the pointers though!
