Default 5.2.3 doesn't work on Fedora 11

[Christophe R FRAULE, geändert vor 14 Jahren.]

Hello,

I tried the easy path to get a Liferay server up and running for evaluation on Fedora 11.

Downloaded the bundle, unzipped as root. Did a chown 777 -R on the liferay install top directory, chdir to tomcat-6.0.18/bin and launched ./startup.sh.

[root@Fedix bin]# ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/liferay-portal-5.2.3/tomcat-6.0.18
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/liferay-portal-5.2.3/tomcat-6.0.18
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/liferay-portal-5.2.3/tomcat-6.0.18/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr

All looks good in catalina.out:

[root@Fedix logs]# tail -f catalina.out

But then I try http://127.0.0.1:8080 with Firefox from the server I get:

And not a single additional line into catalina.out.

What's wrong here ?

Many thanks for your help,

There are some dependencies to install. In order to make sure that you have them all, install tomcat from YUM and then deploy the Liferay war. See if that works for you.

If that works, then you can uninstall it, see what it removes, and try the bundle again. I'm guessing that something hasn't been met.

This is a mysterious one that I had but can't remember how I got rid of it then. See this thread for some possible ideas on how to tackle the problem. Please report what solution (if any) worked for you.

Regarding the permissions, I'd rather unzip the bundle as the user you intend to run it as and chmod +x $LIFERAY_TOMCAT/bin/*.sh instead of setting everything everywhere to 777.

You also might want to delete everything in $LIFERAY_TOMCAT/work/ and $LIFERAY_TOMCAT/temp (keep these directories, but have them empty) and verify what java version you use.
