[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

which liferay, tomcat, OS version?

[skaka09 rictisnadol skaka, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi Ziggy .

I used the tomcat server.

i am using the liferay-portal-src-5.2.3.zip download from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lportal/liferay-portal-src-5.2.3.zip and follow by the instruction from the tutorial development enviroment.

Firstly, i set up the enviroment for liferay such as : JDK(i am used JDK 1.6.0_11), Ant(apache-ant-1.7.1) and Jikes(jikes-1.22)

i am Explode the archive into C:\projects\liferay\portal

and next i am create the EXT environment doing by the following here:

i am create the release.{username}.properties to add the content line:

##
## Extension Environment
##

lp.ext.dir=C:/projects/liferay/ext


it is successful creation the ext enviroment when i am Issue this command : ant clean start build-ext


next i am create the app.server.{username}.properties entry in the ext folderand add for the app.server.{username}.properties file with the content like :

app.server.type=tomcat
app.server.tomcat.dir=C:/projects/liferay/tomcat


(i am download tomcat 6.0 from the http://www.apache.org/ website and Unzip the tomcat archive to C:/projects/liferay/tomcat )

next step . i am type a command prompt and issue this command entry folder : C:\projects\liferay\ext >
ant clean deploy

This will clean the files currently on Tomcat, and then do a deployment from the code that is in your EXT.

it is also sucessfully, but when i am start up the tomcat to run server which it get the error like as :

Aug 12, 2009 6:23:59 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext Start
SERVER : ERROR listenerStart

Is That exist the 8080 port is running ?

It make me can not run liferay from internet explore.

Please help me.

thank regards.

I had the same problem before.

After you have run "ant clean deploy", go to the tomcat directory and move all the jar files from the apache-tomcat/lib/ext directory to apache-tomcat/lib tomcat directory.

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi Ziggy

thank your reply.

i follows by your instruction to move all the jar files from the apache-tomcat/lib/ext directory to apache-tomcat/lib tomcat directory but the error also appear .

look like as SERVER : error listenerStart.

thank regards

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

That error usually means that some jar files are missing. I also got that error becuase i downloaded tomcat and didnt use the bundle that is provided by liferay.

If you copy all the jar files from the tomcat's /lib/ext folder into the tomcat's lib folder it should work.

What is the first error that is generated? That screen dump you posted does not show all errors. Could you post the full stack trace as maybe there is another error. and also what is the full path of your tomcat installation?

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

That screen is only showing the end of the error. Can you attach the whole error?
All errors should be in apache-tomcat/logs/catalina.out

Try and attach the catalina.out file

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

hi Ziggy

thank your reply.

i am try to find the catalina.out file from the apache-tomcat/logs/ . It is not exist in this folder . all things have in this directory will attach by my following attach.
it is just contain .log file.

thank regards

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

For install apache-tomcat , i am just download from www. tomcat.apache.org website and unzip into E:\liferay\

that all


thank regards

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi,

It is easier to use the liferay bundled version of Tomcat which is available here.

http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/downloads/portal

and here is the direct download link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lportal/files/Liferay%20Portal/liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3.zip

The bundle version has all the necessary configuration you need to do.

Can you show me the contents of tomcat's /lib/ext and /lib folder as well.

-

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

hi

this is my tomcat's /lib/ext files

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

hi

this is my tomcat's /lib/ext files

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Does it work if you use the bundled version?

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi Ziggy .

thank your reply.

Because i am new user to liferay , The reason chose to use liferay-portal-src that is easy for me to write add some codes from my project , and modify what i want to code.

For the bundled version, i am aldready install seccessfully run on the classfish server.

Based on your experiment , liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3.zip and liferay-portal-src-5.2.3.zip.

Which is the verion better for user to programmming ?

thank you very much.

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

The two packages are different.

liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3.zip contains the binary files that have already been compiled.
liferay-portal-src-5.2.3.zip contains the source files.

If you are planning to programme your own portlets then you will have to use liferay-portal-src-5.2.3.zip and either the bundled version of tomcat or the one you download from tomcat.apache.org. Either way you will still need liferay-portal-src-5.2.3.zip.

It wont matter which version of tomcat you use. You can use both the one you download from httpL// tomcat.apache.org or the liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3.zip version that is already available on the liferay website. The only difference is that if you download tomcat from the apache website you will have to configure it a bit to get it to work. The bundle version on liferay is already configured.

Whichever one you use, you will still need liferay-portal-src-5.2.3.zip to do any programming of portlets.

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Also could you try this..

Go into the following folder

e:\liferay\tomcat\conf\

then open a file called catalina.properties

In that file find a line that looks like this

common.loader=${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar

or a line that starts with "common.loader="

Then show me that line.

That is where the libraries are specified. If the above entry is wrong then libraries wont be loaded and you will get errors like the one you got.

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi Ziggy.

thank your reply.

this is my catalina.properties

thank regards

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi,

It looks fine so i cant really tell why it wouldnt start. I would suggest that you try and redeploy it again from the begining and see what happens. Sometimes you will find that it doesnt work the first time but it work the next time.

I would suggest that you use the bundled version before you redeploy a fresh copy from the ext environment. If that works then that will mean that there is something wrong in the configuration.

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi Ziggy

i also copy the tomcat directory from the bundled version(liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3_3.zip) to replace the tomcat apache exists .But the final result gets the same error.

i will try it again.

thank regards

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi,

Try and follow it in the following order

Dont worry about jikes as you wont need it for the current version

1. Install ANT to c:\ant\apache-1.7.0
2. Install your JDK to c:\java\jdk1.5.0_13 {or whatever version you are using}
3. Set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to c:\java\jdk1.5.0_13 {set it on both the user variables and system variables}
4. Set your ANT_HOME environment variable to c:\ant\apache-1.7.0 {set it on both the user variables and system variables}
5. Set the path variable to include the above folders. For example if your current PATH is c:\somefolder;c:\someotherfolder, update it to include the two new folders as shown here (separated by semicolons)

c:\somefolder;c:\someotherfolder;c:\ant\apache-1.7.0;c:\java\jdk1.5.0_13 

6. download liferay bundle from this location http://sourceforge.net/projects/lportal/files/Liferay%20Portal/liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3.zip
7. Extract it to c:\liferay\liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3
8. Download liferay src and extract it to c:\liferay\src
9. Go into the src folder and create a file called release.{username}.properties. (the username is your current case sensitive username on the machine you are using.)
10.In that release.{username}.properties file add this line

lp.ext.dir=C:/liferay/ext

11. Then go into the src folder and run these commands

ant clean
ant start
ant build-ext

The above will create your ext environment. Try that and if it works we can move on to deploy the applciation.

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi Ziggy.

To based on your instruction , i sucesses create the ext enviroment .

How can i deploy application ?

thank you very much.

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Do you have a c:\liferay\ext directory? It should have been created from the previous commands.

If you have checked and confirmed that the c:\liferay\ext folder has been created then go ahead as described below.

- Go into the c:\liferay directory
- create a directory in there called liferay_home. The full path to this directory will then be

c:\liferay\liferay_home

Move the tomcat directory that you downloaded into c:\liferay\liferay_home\. The full path to the portal should then be like this

c:\liferay\liferay_home\liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0.5 	(check the name of the tomcat folder)

The reason to create the above directory is because you want to put all the files related to the installation in one place. If you dont do that, everything will go into c:\liferay

Go into the c:\liferay\ext directory

create a file called app.server.{username}.properties {change username to ur current username}

in this file, add these lines

app.server.parent.dir=c:/liferay/liferay_home
app.server.type=tomcat
app.server.tomcat.dir=c:/liferay/liferay_home/apache-tomcat-6.0.20 {change name of tomcat directory if its different}

the app.server.parent.dir entry will have something like ../bundles. You will need to change that as shown above otherwise everything will be deployed to c:\liferay\bundles... etc

Once you have done the above, go into the c:\liferay\ext folder and issue the following command

ant clean deploy

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi .

thank your reply.

app.server.parent.dir=c:/liferay/liferay_home
app.server.type=tomcat
app.server.tomcat.dir=c:/liferay/liferay_home/apache-tomcat-6.0.20 {change name of tomcat directory if its different}

Does it whether the apache-tomcat-6.0.20 directory separate during the "ant clean deploy" command excuted or it is the tomcat directory download from the apache.tomcat.org?

i am not clear the apache-tomcat-6.0.20 directory in your instruction .

i am base your instruction to create the app.server.{username}.properties file to put the following here :

app.server.parent.dir=c:/liferay/liferay_home
app.server.type=tomcat
app.server.tomcat.dir=c:/liferay/liferay_home/apache-tomcat-6.0.20

after i run the ' ant clean deploy ' command to execute with the result is success .it is create the new apache-tomcat-6.0.20 directory.

i am look into the tomcat directory to find the bin directory to set up running, but it is not exist.


thank regards.

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Which tomcat version are you using? the one from tomcat.apache.org or the one from liferay.com?
and where was the tomcat directory created? what was the full path?

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

What i meant is you need to download tomcat from the liferay website and extract it on this folder

c:/liferay/liferay_home/apache-tomcat-6.0.20 

Then update the app.server.{user}.properties file as i described above, then go into the ext directory and run "ant clean deploy"

The url for downloading tomcat is http://sourceforge.net/projects/lportal/files/Liferay%20Portal/liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3.zip

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi

i want toask you confirm that app.server.{user}.properties file .
The following directory is what i am extract from liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3_3.zip file. it contains like this :

E:\liferay\liferay_home\liferay-portal-5.2.3

the liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.3_3.zip file is package of liferay , the tomcat directory include entry the liferay-portal-5.2.3 like that.

E:\liferay\liferay_home\liferay-portal-5.2.3\tomcat-6.0.18

that means the app.server.{user}.properties set up based on the following this:
<code>
app.server.parent.dir=E:/liferay/liferay_home
app.server.type=tomcat
app.server.tomcat.dir=E:/liferay/liferay_home/liferay-portal-5.2.3
</code>
or
<code>
app.server.parent.dir=E:/liferay/liferay_home
app.server.type=tomcat
app.server.tomcat.dir=E:/liferay/liferay_home/liferay-portal-5.2.3/tomcat-6.0.18
</code>

which one does i choose?

thank regards.

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hold on let me check.

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

I think tt should be like this

app.server.parent.dir=E:/liferay/liferay_home/liferay-portal-5.2.3
app.server.type=tomcat
app.server.tomcat.dir=E:/liferay/liferay_home/liferay-portal-5.2.3/tomcat-6.0.18

With the above configuration, your directories should be like this

e:\liferay
	\liferay_home
		\liferay_portal-5.2.3
			\data
			\deploy
			\tomcat-6.0.18
				\bin
				\conf
				\lib
				\... (more)
				

By the way i have added you as a friend. You need to accept the friend request then we can chat and ill walk you through it.

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi.

this is my yahoo chat :[e-mail]

if you want we can chat together by it .


thank you very much.

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi .

i also changes the liferay-portal source with another version as liferay-portal-src-4.2.2.zip and follow base on your instruction , but the final result is the same errror as previous step.

Aug 12, 2009 6:23:59 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext Start
SERVER : ERROR listenerStart

maybe i need to chat with you to know where the error occurs.




thank regards

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi

i also change to build the liferay-portal-src-5.2.3.zip with glassfish 2 to bundle the liferay , but the result is also get the error like as

[java] Loading file:/E:/liferay_classfish/liferay-portal-src-5.2.3/portal-impl/classes/com/liferay/portal/tools/dependencies/portal-tools.properties
     [java] Loading file:/E:/liferay_classfish/liferay-portal-src-5.2.3/portal-impl/classes/com/liferay/portal/tools/dependencies/portal-tools.properties

error exception JAVA enviroment.

the content of portal-tools.properties look like as ;

spring.configs=\
    META-INF/management-spring.xml,\
    \
    META-INF/util-spring.xml

when i type command into E:\liferay_classfish\liferay-portal-src-5.2.3>>ant -f build.xml all

it set up to compile the liferay source , when it compile to portal-tools.properties file occurs the error exception java enviroment.

Is that have problem with my JDK(jdk1.6.0_11) or source ?

thank regards

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Can you show me this file $TOMCAT/conf/catalina.properties
and also $TOMCAT/logs/catalina-[date]

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

hi Ziggy .

thank your reply.

i seccesses to build up the ext enviroment and run it when i changed the JDK(jdk1.6.0_11 change to 1.6.0_16) . it looks the error occurs in the JDK 1.6.0_11 . it made me more time to look for the problem. it works now.

Now i want to create the portlet such as hello world , and making connect to database to report everything.

Could you give the suggest

thank you help me.

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi,

Thats good.
Which database do you want to use?

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

i am intend using mysql database . to write the portlet connect to database and report data .

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

To connect to mysql is easy. All you have to do is create a file called portal-ext.properties in the following directory

$TOMCAT/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes

In the portal-ext.properties file you just add the connection details for the database. Here is an example of mine

jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/lportal?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false
jdbc.default.username=root
jdbc.default.password=rootpassword

If you have created the database and called it lportal then all you need to do is change the username and password shown above.

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi Ziggy.

thank you.

i follows you and add more core in the portal-ext.properties to track the log user action

jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/lportal?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false
jdbc.default.username=root
jdbc.default.password=root
schema.run.enabled=true
schema.run.minimal=true


## Live Users
##
#
# Set this to true to enable tracking via Live Users.
#
live.users.enabled=true

#
# Set this to true to convert the tracked paths to friendly URLs.
#
session.tracker.friendly.paths.enabled=true

#
# Set the following to true to track user clicks in memory for the duration
# of a user's session. Setting this to true allows you to view all live
# sessions in the Admin portlet.
#
session.tracker.memory.enabled=true

#
# Set the following to true to track user clicks in the database after a
# user's session is invalidated. Setting this to true allows you to generate
# usage reports from the database. Use this cautiously because this will
# store a lot of usage data.
#
session.tracker.persistence.enabled=true 

after that i am run the tomcat and login the liferay-portal to do some more action such as : click on the button, post message, etc ..

in the database, i am get in the usertrackerpath table entries like this :


| 5 | 2 | /web/guest/home | 2009-07-29 16:44:05 |
| 6 | 2 | /portal/logout?null | 2009-07-29 16:44:41 |

For me , i intend creating the portlet to report all of entries usertrackerpath table.
(Is that write some more code in my own)

Please give me recommendation and suggestion.

thank you very much

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi,

Yes you can do that to track users on the portal.

What i would recommend is not to use the liferay-src to create your portlet. Use the plugins-sdk which is much easier and better to use. The benefit of using the plugins SDK is you wont have to make a lot of changes if you upgrade liferay.

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

hi ziggy.

it means that i used netbeans support plugin as portal-pack-plugin-3_0_2_all.zip to configuration with liferay-portal 5.2 , or i will use liferay-portal-tomcat-jdk5-4.2.2.zip for developer.

Could you give me clearly about that.
i am confused to use liferay-portal-tomcat-jdk5-4.2.2.zip and portal-pack-plugin-3_0_2_all.zip install on netbeans.

which one can i use ?

thank

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Ok this is how i do do it.

If i want to change one of the core components e.g. Login Classes i use the liferay-src
if i want to create a new independent portlet, themes, layout i use the liferay-sdk

For both of the above you can use netbeans or eclipse. Netbeans is just the IDE. Here is how to set up netbeans with the SDK. I dont use netbeans but this link might help

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi.

which one are you used ?



thank regards

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

I use eclipse

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi Ziggy.

i am try deploying new project(portlet) after creating in the netbeans 6.5 IDE , When i am deploy it , it occurs the error can't start up the server look as :

Are you work with netbeans?

Where is the directory that Auto deploy directory will point to ?

Could you give me the way configures liferay-portal run on eclipse?

Because when i use the classfish to run liferay, it is spend more memory in my computer.

thank

[Ziggy ., modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi,

I've not used netbeans before. Have a look at this http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Eclipse+Plugin for details on how to use eclipse.

--

[dinakis rooney richard, modifié il y a 14 années.]

Hi Ziggy.

i already configure the liferay-portal run on eclipse base on what i am create the ext-enviroment on beforehead. and i also run liferay-portal on eclipse and import plugin liferay into eclipse. But i can't create new portlet into the liferay when i create new project in eclipse. it isn't accept .

Now i intends writing code to track action events , But i am not sure the place where i will write code .

is That write code in ext-enviroment or liferay-portal source code?

which one will i refer working ?

Please give me recommendation and suggest ?

thank regards.
