Liferay 7 Basic installation loop

[Koen Rens, modifié il y a 7 années.]

Hi,

We installed Liferay 7 on one of our servers and linked it to Postgres.
Now when we try to finish the installation via the basic configuration page (http://domain.com/c/portal/setup_wizard),
we are stuck in a loop.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open http://domain.com/c/portal/setup_wizard, fill in all the details (email, password, portal name, ...)
2) You get a page asking to reboot the portal
3) We do the reboot
You now see the installation page again: http://domain.com/c/portal/setup_wizard

We checked and the access rights for the files are writable by apache, that shouldn't be the issue.

Any other clues?
Could it be that the postgres connection fails but that it doesn't provide that feedback during the installation?

Thank you!

The setup wizard is only helpful for a local dev environ setup.

If you're doing a full blown server install, take the time to configure everything correctly (postgres, etc), disable the startup wizard in portal-ext.properties and then fire it up.

In the end we solved it by removing the database and starting from scratch.
Then it did work.
