Liferay DXPのインストール

Now that you’ve performed the steps needed to prepare for your installation, you’re ready to install Liferay DXP! Since bundles are the easiest way to complete an installation, all the installation steps below assume you’re installing a Liferay DXP bundle. If you plan to install Liferay DXP manually, please refer to the article for your app server of choice, and then come back here to complete the configuration steps.

Now you’re ready. You’ve created a blank database for Liferay DXP and have gathered the credentials you need for your mail server. The next step is to install Liferay DXP.

Liferay Home

Liferay DXP bundles contain the same folder structure regardless of application server. The top-level folder is named for the Liferay DXP release. This folder is called Liferay Home. This folder is usually the application server’s parent folder. This is why Liferay DXP bundles place the application server inside the bundle’s root folder. On a manual installation, the location of this folder varies by application server. In a bundle, it’s part of the bundle. If you’re doing a manual installation, please refer to the article covering that app server for its location.

Liferay Home has folders for various purposes:

  • [Liferay Home]
    • [Application Server]: The name of this folder varies depending on the bundle you’re using. This folder contains the application server in which Liferay DXP has been installed.

    • data: Stores an embedded HSQL database, Liferay DXP’s file repository, and Liferay DXP’s search indexes. Liferay DXP is initially configured to use the embedded HSQL database but the HSQL database is primarily intended for demonstration and trial purposes. Portal property jdbc.default.url sets the Hypersonic embedded HSQL database location.

    • deploy: To auto-deploy Liferay DXP plugins, copy them to this folder. Legacy style .war files, Liferay DXP 7.1 style .jar files, and .lpkg files from Liferay Marketplace are supported. Portal property auto.deploy.deploy.dir sets the auto-deploy location.

    • license: Liferay DXP’s copyright and version files are here.

    • logs: This folder contains Liferay DXP’s log files. The information in Liferay DXP’s log files can be quite valuable for system administrators, especially when trying to diagnose a problem. portal-impl.jar’s portal-impl/src/META-INF/portal-log4j.xml file sets the location for the log files. To override the log file location, you must use an ext-impl/src/META-INF/portal-log4j-ext.xml file in an Ext plugin.

    • osgi: All the JAR files and a few configuration files for Liferay DXP’s OSGi runtime belong in this folder. Portal property module.framework.base.dir sets the OSGi folder location. Here are its subfolders:

      • configs: Component configuration files go here
      • core: Liferay DXP’s core modules
      • marketplace: Marketplace applications and application suites
      • modules: Modules you’ve deployed
      • portal: Liferay DXP’s non-core modules
      • state: Contains OSGi internal state files for such things as OSGi bundle installation, bundle storage, and more
      • target-platform: Target platform index
      • test: Modules that support test integration
      • war: WAR plugins you’ve deployed
    • patching-tool: (Liferay DXP only) This folder contains patches for Liferay DXP and files for installing the patches.

    • tools: For Liferay DXP upgrade and target platform indexer.

    • work: Module Jasper work files.

If Liferay DXP is unable to create the resources it needs in the Liferay Home folder or if it finds itself running on certain application servers, it creates a folder called liferay in the home folder of the operating system user that is running Liferay DXP. In this case, the liferay folder becomes Liferay Home. For example, if the operating system user’s name is jbloggs, the Liferay Home folder is /home/jbloggs/liferay or C:\Users\jbloggs\liferay.

Extracting a Liferay DXP Bundle

Getting a Liferay DXP bundle up and running involves uncompressing the archive, possibly copying a JDBC driver, and then starting the application server. Let’s use the Liferay DXP Tomcat bundle as an example.

  1. Extract your Liferay DXP bundle.
  2. If you’re using a supported open source database or if you’re setting up Liferay DXP for demo purposes, you can skip this step. Otherwise, copy your database’s JDBC driver .jar file to [Tomcat]/lib/ext.

You’ve extracted Liferay DXP, and it’s ready for use. This is much easier than doing a manual installation on an app server. If, however, that’s what you need to do, please at this point click the link on the left and go through the installation procedure for your app server of choice. When you’re finished with the installation (and before you’ve started Liferay DXP for the first time), come back to this spot, because you must hook it up to your database.

Connecting Liferay DXP to Your Database

You can connect to your database with JNDI on your app server or the data source shipped with Liferay DXP (recommended). Refer to the article on your app server for instructions on using JNDI. For the internal data source, you can configure it by specifying the configuration in a portal-ext.properties file or the Setup Wizard:

  1. Create a portal-ext.properties file in your Liferay Home folder.

  2. Copy a relevant example data source configuration from one of the data source configuration templates or portal properties reference’s JDBC section and paste it into the portal-ext.properties file.

  3. Customize the configuration with the proper host name and user and password credentials for your database, and save the file.

You’re ready to start Liferay DXP.

Running Liferay DXP for the First Time

Next, start your app server, or start the Liferay DXP app in your app server. Liferay DXP writes log files to folder [Liferay Home]/logs.

The first time Liferay DXP starts, it creates all of its database tables. Once it has successfully started, it automatically launches a web browser that displays the Basic Configuration page. If for some reason your browser doesn’t load the Basic Configuration page, launch it and navigate to your app server’s address and port (for example, http://localhost:8080).

Using Liferay DXP’s Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard runs when you start Liferay DXP for the first time. The title of the setup wizard page is Basic Configuration. This page provides a convenient way to make an initial configuration.

There are two sections of the wizard: the portal and the administrator. For the portal, you need to supply the following information:

Portal Name: the name of the portal you’re powering with Liferay DXP.

Default Language: choose the default locale of your portal.

Time Zone: select your Liferay DXP instance’s default time zone.

For the administrator, you need to supply the following information:

First Name: the first name of the default administrator user

Last Name: the last name of the default administrator user

Email: the email address of the default administrator user

Figure 1: Supply the information for your portal and your portals default administrator user on the Basic Configuration page.

Figure 1: Supply the information for your portal and your portal's default administrator user on the Basic Configuration page.

The Basic Configuration page also includes a checkbox labeled Add Sample Data. If you check this box, sample data is added to your database. This data includes users, sites, and organizations. The sample data is for demo purposes. If you’re installing Liferay DXP on your own machine to explore its features, the sample data may be useful. If, however, you’re installing Liferay DXP on a real server, start with a clean system.

Once you’ve filled out the form, click Finish Configuration. The setup wizard creates a portal-setup-wizard.properties file which stores the settings that you entered. When you begin customizing your portal’s configuration, however, use the portal-ext.properties file you created earlier. All the possible properties that can be placed in this file are documented in our reference documentation.

After you’ve entered the information requested by the Basic Configuration page, the home page appears. You should set up your mail configuration next.

Configuring Mail

Log in as the administrative user you created in the setup wizard. Click the menu icon and then go to Control Panel → Server Administration → Mail, and have your mail credentials ready.

Fill out the form. You’re asked for the following information:

Incoming POP Server: The hostname for a server running the Post Office Protocol. Liferay DXP checks this mailbox for incoming messages, such as message board replies.

Incoming Port: The port on which the POP server is listening.

Use a Secure Network Connection: Use an encrypted connection when connecting to the POP server.

User Name: The user ID Liferay DXP should use to log into the POP server.

Password: The password Liferay DXP should use to log into the POP server.

Outgoing SMTP Server: The hostname for a server running the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Liferay DXP uses this server to send emails, such as password change emails and other notifications.

Outgoing Port: The port on which the SMTP server is listening.

Use a Secure Network Connection: Use an encrypted connection when connecting to the SMTP server.

User Name: The user ID Liferay DXP should use to log into the SMTP server.

Password: The password Liferay DXP should use to log into the SMTP server.

Manually specify additional JavaMail properties to override the above configuration: If there are additional properties you need to specify, supply them here.

When you’re finished setting up your mail configuration, click Save.

Your next step is to convert the search implementation from its default demo mode into a production-ready mode.
