Delpoy portlets on "/portlets" instead of "/"

[Jam M, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

Hi,

I would like to deploy portlets on a non-root context. In fact, I would like all my portlets to be accessible through /portlet/<portlet-name> instead of /portlet-name.

I configured "Destination directory" in Control Pannel - Plugin installation - Install more portlets - Configuration with an absolute path like:

/home/tomcat//webapps/portlet

When I upload a new war to the deploy dir - I have downloaded a sample web form portlet -, Liferay seems to notice there's a new file, and in fact, it is deployed to the /portlet directory, but the portlet is not available. This is the log from catalina.out:

But I don't get the message "Portlet is available for use". I assume some configuration is missing. Any help? I have tried also setting portlet.virtual.path in portal.properties, but also without success.

Thanks in advance!

I am having the same problem. I cannot deploy any portlets on a web server where Liferay is running outside of root context. It hangs on the same message. I will post back if I find anything : /

Well your issue is different than the original. The OP had Liferay at the root context but wanted portlets under a different context which, if you know anything about an app server, doesn't work out very well.

Your issue sounds strictly like an issue deploying Liferay to a non-root context. I believe there's some wiki pages to help w/ that, but you might want to start a different thread to get a wider viewage and possible answer...

/home/tomcat/webapps/alumni-apps
or
/home/tomcat//webapps/portlet ?

I haven't tried this with Liferay, but the following pages may help you.
