Liferay Jira & Crowd Integration, liferay integration

Liferay Installation

* Installation requirement for liferay : 1GB RAM
* Download liferay distribution with various application server for now
we will use liferay + tomcat6
* Intsall java jdk and environment variable JAVA_HOME set to OS
*
You can Download the desired bundle from

http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/downloads/portal and unzip to
particular folder

* Run Liferay by double-click on the startup.bat. Open a browser and
go tohttp: //l oca lhost:8080
* Liferay have sample data with it (7cogs) to demo application to
remove this, delete seven-cog folder from liferay-dir/tomcat/web-apps/
… in liferay-dir/data/… also delete hsql database folder
* Re-start your application using startup.bat
* Liferay can be configured to use many different databases. i.e. we
will change the default database (Hypersonic) of the Liferay-Tomcat
bundle to point to a MySQL database



-----------------------------------------------

* We are now using Liferay v5.2 unifies the configuration of the

database in a single file for all application servers. As most other configuration options you can set this up in the portal - ext.properties file as follows (example for MySQL):
jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/lportal?
useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false
jdbc.default.username=
jdbc.default.password=
If you don’t have existing portal-ext.pro… file than manually create it
and save it to -{liferay-home}\ {tomcat }\webapps\ROO T\ WEB-INF\ classes
Now you have to make sure that you have already created database
like this - create database lportal character set utf8
* If you want configure extra setting than read full administration pdf
from liferay.com and install appropriate libraries
