install/setup SO on linux

[joakim seeberg, modificado hace 14 años.]

Hi, I just discovered liferay SO and would like to test it but can't find anything on wiki, dokumentation or forum related to the installation and setup. I have never found it so hard to find basic information in other Open Source projeckts. What are you hiding here, I'm getting curious.
So far I have downloaded and unpacked: liferay-social-office-1.5b, chmod and run startup.sh with the following output:

$ ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /home/joakim/Desktop/liferay-social-office-1.5b/liferay-social-office-1.5b/tomcat-6.0.18
Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/joakim/Desktop/liferay-social-office-1.5b/liferay-social-office-1.5b/tomcat-6.0.18
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/joakim/Desktop/liferay-social-office-1.5b/liferay-social-office-1.5b/tomcat-6.0.18/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr

browsing localhost:8080: No connection to host.

But i'm just guessing here.

Please check the logs/catalina.out file for errors. It should help, but if not, please post it here and we'll try to solve the problem.

What's in that file before these lines?

We don't have any MBeanServer on the log files.

Please check if you have a portal-ext.properties in your home directory, as it's read by socialoffice too.

Nothing

hmm!

There is a "lportal.properties" in hsql folder.

That's not problem if it's in the social office directory. I was thinking, that you have another instance and somehow the social office finds it.

Can you attach the full catalina.out here?

I already did, but i'll try again.

One problem is that in bundle version there is a windows jre version, so you have to install jre on linux before.

High level list of steps to install liferay so in a linux environment is:

• install jre (rpm install and configure a java.sh file with var environment JAVA_HOME, JRE_HOME, CLASSPATH, PATH)
• move liferay so bundle (where you want)
• configure tomcat bundle in a tomcat.sh file with TOMCAT_DIR var
• (optional) put db connector jar, db creation and db configuration in portal-ext.properties

Most documentation on Liferay Portal is valid for Liferay Social Office, I think is important to read liferay-administration-guide-5.2.pdf for example and other wiki documentation.

I hope to help.
