LR 6.2 applying security patches

[gordon daniels, modificado hace 9 años.]

I downloaded the security patches zip file but have problems understanding a couple of things:

1. application server's endorsed directory - What does that mean?

2. <application-server>/.../<liferay-context> - What does that mean?

Any clarity of those statements would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

It looks like number two - is the /Root directory.

Still not sure where one is but I put it into /Root/WEB-INF/lib directory. If not correct, hope someone points that out.

thanks

#1 would be, for example, tomcat's global lib/ext directory (other app servers have their own locations). Just look for the current portal-service.jar and that is the directory for #1.

#2 is the ROOT web application.

So Liferay patches basically go against two areas: 1) the portal-service.jar (that's the directory for #1) or 2) the Liferay app itself (ROOT web app dir).

#2 covers the jsps, the libs, the classes directory, ...

David: thanks much! Yeah the server startup was throwing a lot of errors . I knew then I had it wrong.

thanks again
