liferay portal not opening


I'm new to liferay. I installed the liferay+tomcat bundle and tried to start liferay by running the startup.bat file. The liferay setup wizard should open in the browser by itself but it is not happening. The following is being displayed. How do I open the liferay setup wizard?

Apache - version 2.2.22 PHP - version 5.4.5 Server is up and running The default Apache context is www in the Apache installation folder


Solution

  • It seems something else is running on port 8080 - e.g. some installation of Apache. You can try this if you just access http://localhost:8080 without starting tomcat/Liferay first.

    Either you need to shut that down, move it to another port or move Tomcat/Liferay to another port. If you want the later, look for a file called conf/server.xml, in there locate the three active port=... instructions and change them to unused ports. Then start again.
