Liferay migration from local to live site


enter image description here

I downloaded Liferay files from a livesite to setup a local environment for some local development. After downloading the files, I run the the catalina file (./catalina.sh start) But unfortunately I got a 404 error.

I'm not sure where to start in setting up Liferay locally.

  • I think there are some initial settings that I should be doing as I had moved from live server to a local machine.
  • I think I need to also connect my database. I now have a local copy of the database and is already imported on MySQL. I just need to connect them (im guessing entering my user and password for the database).
  • Other than downloading the files and starting up the server, I really haven't done anything else yet as I am not sure what setting and configuration I should be doing.

I'm new to Liferay, I apologize for my silliness.


Edit

my portal-ide.properties settings:

Solution

  • See portal-ext.properties or someelse *.properties file in the root folder of portal.
