Introduction #

This page shows and links to some portal properties that are commonly used to configure Liferay installs. Please add properties that are only widely used to this page, and leave a good description so that people can understand what the property does. Also leave a version number next to the property that it was used with.

How to Use #

Portal properties can be set by creating a file called portal-ext.properties in your Liferay installation. For the tomcat bundle, you need to create it in:

 {install directory}/liferay-{version}/tomcat-{version}/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/portal-ext.properties
