RE: jdbc error with 5.2.3 startup - javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Nam

[Wayne Christian, modificado hace 14 años.]

Help. Any ideas what to check? This is on Mac OSX 10.5, using the liferay tomcat bundle

I'm replying to this thread only because I couldn't find a way to post a new one, must be because of my low credentials.
Anyway, I spent considerable time trying to set up Liferay 6 on an existing Glassfish using existing Oracle. All on the same dev box.

portal-ext.properties

jdbc.default.driverClassName=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
jdbc.default.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe
jdbc.default.username=liferay
jdbc.default.password=pwd
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect

Steps
- start Glassfish
- create a jdbc pool named jdbc/LiferayPool to the database specified above and make sure ping is successful
- stop Glassfish
- ant deploy (from liferay home)
- start Glassfish

Please help. Thanks.

Can you try by deleting jdbc/LiferayPool you created

[Alex Leshinsky, modificado hace 12 años.]

I did like you've suggested. Removed the pool from Glassfish resources.
Same result.

Could somebody help me with issue please?
I'm a Principal Software Engineer with decades of experience and if even I cannot do it following your instructions, something is not right.
I'm evaluating this product for a client and if it cannot be set up on some existing infrastructure as opposed to some "bundles", I'll be forced to recommend looking elsewhere.
Thanks!

Have you changed anything with respect to jndi in portal-ext.properties
