Deploying theme and portlets in Liferay running on non root context

[Tina Agrawal, modificado hace 11 años.]

Hi All,

Our Liferay Server is setup on a non-root context. The portal context is setup as -
portal.ctx=/lportal

As a result of this the theme that we developed doesn’t work. The images css are not loading in the non root context.
Also, the custom css that the portlets have those are also not loading.

Any clues on how to fix this.

Regards,
Tina

The problem shouldn't be due to non ROOT context.
Liferay is not just for ROOT context; this can be deployed on variety of envs independently.

Plese check your exact problem regarding why those are not getting loaded. Check your console logs if there are any errors in portal startup or theme deployment.
Also check browser console if there are any resource errors shown

I get 404 not found errors for all the css, js -

http://<my-server>/my-theme/js/jquery-1.6.2.min.js?browserId=firefox&minifierType=js&languageId=en_US&b=6120&t=1351681594000)

No errors on the tomcat console.

Hi Tina,

Check all files are present in your custom theme folder or not. Clear your browser cache and open your portal in a Private window?

Because i am running my portal on non-root context and i am not facing any kind of issue, so just recheck your theme files.

If you have, for example, an Apache in front of your tomcat, you'll need to forward *all* contexts that you want to be visible to the outside. Assuming you're using mod_jk, you'll have some configuration like the following:

JkMount /lportal/ my-tomcat
JkMount /lportal/* my-tomcat
JkMount /my-theme/* my-tomcat
JkMount /chat-portlet/* my-tomcat

This is easier when Liferay is running in the root context, as then

JkMount /* my-tomcat
JkMount / my-tomcat

is sufficient and will include all other contexts automagically.
