I downloaded liferay 6.1 with bundled tomcat from the website and i am currently trying to add a new repository in the documents and media portlet, using the process described in here.
Although the integration succeeds, in the repository list, the newly created cmis repository (alfresco) displays the following warning: "an unexpected error occured while connecting to the repository". Nothing on the catalina.out and the liferay logs though. Then when i try to create a subfolder, i get the following exception: in apache chemistry CmisRuntimeException: Length Required.
I checked with wireshark and, in fact the POST request from liferay to alfresco misses the content-length indeed. How can i enable it ? has anyone had similar issues ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Best regards
Portal Settings - Authentication - Use screen name.
Nickname and password for account creating repository should be same as for alfresco.
Add parameters to portal-ext.properties
session.store.password=true and company.security.auth.type=screenName
Create repository. Use URL path /alfresco/service/cmis (not /alfresco/cmisatom). Live repository ID blank.

I'm having a strange issue with my (i admit) very old liferay. Sometime yesterday morning my system broke down and doesn't start up again. I have no idea why it broke down.
Now when I restart my liferay again according to the logfile it starts fine. But when I try to acces the page via browser all I get is inifite loading. No log messages, no exceptions, no timeout, nothing. This all was Liferay 6.0.5 and JBoss 5.
I then downloaded a Liferay 6.0.6 bundle with Tomcat 6 and connected it to my oracle db. Same behavior. Next thing I did was not using an oracle connection so liferay used its built-in memory DB. And voila, startup worked immediatly. reconnecting to oracle results in failure again. I tried this liferay-tomcat bundle with all needed themes and portlets.
Then I undeployed all custom webapps and startet again and suddenly my log showed this message: No theme found for specified theme id <MY_CUSTOM_THEME>. Returning the default theme.
So the request must reach liferay somehow. Sadly the browser still doesn't show anything.
I'm short on ideas so I'm grateful for any help. Btw: I'm planning to relaunch with liferay 6.2 and an other db schema in couple of weeks, so a dirty workaround would totaly be enough for me.
Thinking out of the box: Is it possible to export all data from my database as sql inserts, etc and import them into liferays memory db? I know the memory db is not build for production use, but since it's only a couple of weeks I might give it a shot.
EDIT: I switched back to my jboss 5 and liferay 6.0 setting. I just noticed another strange thing. When I type a non-existent like liferays default community url (not configured in my particular portal instance) I see this message in my log Current URL /de/web/guest/home generates exception: null
. So apparently the illigal requests are recognized but legal requests are not served.
Thanks guys and regards. Sebastian
I am getting stuck while creating a new plugin project in liferay, eclipse get stuck everytime and console displaying only [ivy:resolve] message
It appears that the Ivy resolve process inside of the Liferay Plugins SDK is failing when it tries to create a new process.
Go into your Liferay Plugins SDK folder and open the ivy-settings.xml file. Notice that it points to some online repositories. It seems that your system is having trouble connecting to those remote repositories. See the log messages about the failing certificates (when its trying to connect to the https:// server of jboss repository ).
Maybe will be any special configuration required for connecting to those repositories, proxy...
Try from here
I need to make an upgrade of Liferay, as mentioned above(5.2->6.0) So far, as my research (1,2,3) shows I need to:
Make backups of the Database and file system of plugins (especially portal*.properties).
Overwrite dependency jars
Deploy new .war
Set permission algorithm to 5 in the properties (as L-5.2 uses it, however L-6.0 uses 6)
Start application,
see if the DB updates correctly
see if the portal is working correctly
Clean up user-specific permissions
Convert legacy permission algorithm to 6 in the control Panel
Migrate a custom theme.
Upgrade EXT to EXT Plugin(p. 398)
It's fairly understandable, but I stumbled upon this thread(Missing FileEntryForm class). Are there any more changes of this kind?
Also, is there something else I'm missing?
Thanks :)
Liferay migration from one server to another help required. Can anyone share there steps for migration of Liferay portal 5.2.3 from one server to another. I am using Windows + Tomcat + MySql.
I have uploaded whole tomcat folder to the new windows machine and imported the database too with the corresponding change to the configuration file like Database details.
But after starting the tomcat server it is showing some error like "Unable to load repository http://plugins.liferay.com". Any idea why I am getting this error ?
These are the steps that I have followed and able to migrate the Liferay successfully:
Take the backup of Liferay files and database from first windows machine.
Install the same version of Liferay (Say Liferay 5.2.3) on second windows machine.
Shut down Liferay.
Import the database on new system.
Add portal-ext.properties with relevant entries. (e.g Datbase Name, User Name , Pasword etc)
Add \liferay-portal-5.2.3\data\document_library files from old machine.
Start the tomcat. It will automtically do the rest.
NOTE: In the above method I have not deployed Theme and custom plugins etc, you have to deploy Theme and custom plugins also that are used on old system.
Lifery is trying to connect to plugin repository to find whether there are updates for plugins.
Does your new machine have internet conectivity?
Also you have options to ignore that message or configure liferay not to check for updates.
For later put in portal-ext.properties
plugin.repositories.trusted=
plugin.repositories.untrusted=
UPDATE:
If behind proxy create (if not existent) system-ext.properties (beside portal-ext.properties) and add
com.liferay.util.Http.proxy.host=proxy_host
com.liferay.util.Http.proxy.port=proxy_port
Change proxy_host and proxy_port with your values.
Also remove from portal-ext.properties if you want liferay to check repositories
plugin.repositories.trusted=
plugin.repositories.untrusted=
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?
