Links on the left bar of the theme ain't working in liferay 6.1.2 GA3

I'm very new to Liferay. I'm facing a problem in deployment. I'm using Liferay 6.1.2 GA3 along with MySQL Database on RHEL 6.x .

I've a design basis on which I've developed the theme of liferay. And the design is so that it divides a page in three parts which are

  1. Upper Doc-bar i.e. bearing the Liferay's out-of-box functionality.
  2. Side bar i.e. menu bar.
  3. Portlet part i.e. where the portlets are placed.

Now .war file of this theme project is working absolutely fine in Windows Environment. But when I deploy it in Linux VM of my machine it doesn't behave as it should. Any of Links on the side bar doesn't work at all.

Please suggest me a solution. And do tell me if I'm making mistake(s) in development or deployment.

Solution

  • Here are two solutions which helped us in similar problems:

    First one, give a try to add to your address ?js_fast_load=0 param in end of the url.

    Another solution which helped us in similar js problems not expandable menu etc. was to:

    In file liferay/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh

    to variable JAVA_OPTS add param

      -Dexternal-properties=portal-developer.properties

    At the end, this should look like:

    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dexternal-properties=portal-developer.properties"

    Next in the file liferay/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/portal-developer.properties

    Change param 

    javascript.fast.load=false

    and add 

    com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.minifier.MinifierFilter=false

    Restart your server. I assumed you are using tomcat server.
