I was trying to upload certain files type in particular MS Project .mpp files and also some mp3's. I get an error saying I cant upload those type.

Is there a configuration setting to add these files types. Also, would like to know how to set the maximum file upload size for a folder after it's been created.

Cheers.

See the following section of portal.properties:
portal.properties:
#
# Set the maximum file size and valid file extensions for documents. A value
# of 0 for the maximum file size can be used to indicate unlimited file
# size. However, the maximum file size allowed by the system is set in
# property "com.liferay.util.servlet.UploadServletRequest.max.size" found in
# system.properties. A file extension of * will permit all file extensions.
#
# You can map a GIF for the extension by adding the image to the theme's
# image display and document library folder. The wildcard extension of *
# will be ignored. For example, the default image for the DOC extension
# would be found in: /html/themes/classic/images/document_library/doc.gif.
#
#dl.file.max.size=307200
#dl.file.max.size=1024000
dl.file.max.size=3072000
dl.file.extensions=.bmp,.css,.doc,.dot,.gif,.gz,.htm,.html,.jpg,.js,.odb,.odf,.odg,.odp,.ods,.odt,.pdf,.png,.ppt,.rtf,.swf,.sxc,.sxi,.sxw,.tar,.tiff,.tgz,.txt,.vsd,.xls,.xml,.zip

Grab the portal.properties from the sourec bundle, and copy portions you want to override to portal-ext.properties and drop it into the classes dir of the running portal, and restart.

You guys are very cool...

Comment to the LifeRay dev team, I looked around the site and in the docs but, couldn't find this info. If it isn't in the CMS docs it should be.


Thanks for the help.

Hi D Ohn,

There is some information on the portal.properties and how to find it in the link below. In the portal.properties there are descriptions for what the properties do. What Björn posted should be what you're looking for. I hope you are able to find what you're looking for.

Hi there,

I've been looking for the portal.properties but I can't find them. I'm using the bundled liferay-portal-tomcat-5.5-5.0.1
Anyone knows?

edit: I read that I'm supposed to override the properties the jar file with the portal-ext properties, but I don't get how to do this (what kind of file is it and where?)


Thanks in advance.

The portal.properties file is bundled into the portal-impl.jar file webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/portal-impl.jar
jar -tvf webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/portal-impl.jar | grep portal.properties

Extract it, put the properties you want to override in a file named: webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/portal-ext.properties
Restart your tomcat server and it will show a message that the portal-ext.properties is being read at startup time in the catalina.out
