By Raymond Reid

Upgrade from 4.3.3 to 4.4.2 on crusldi2

If try upgrading liferay follow the upgrade instruction from liferay wiki, liferay can start, but system returns some errors-message : org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named, so we do not use the liferay wiki method and use the downloaded liferay-tomcat-4.4.2 bundle to upgrade.

  • Shut down Tomcat.
  • Upload the 4.4.2-tomcat6 bundle to /LDIapps/Tomcat/liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-4.4.2/
  • cd /usr/local
  • Remove tomcat softlink
  • Create new tomcat softlink by

ln -s /LDIapps/Tomcat/liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-4.4.2/ tomcat

  • Register wblway theme files
  1. Copy <Tomcat4.3.3>/webapps/liferay/html/themes/wblway to /LDIapps/Tomcat/liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-4.4.2/webapps/Root/html/themes/wblway
  2. edit /LDIapps/Tomcat/liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-4.4.2/webapps/Root/WEB-INF/liferay-look-and-feel.xml
  • Copy portal-ext.properties file from 4.3.3/webapps/liferay/WEB-INF/classes/ to 4.4.2/webapps/Root/WEB-INF/classes/ .
  • Copy log4j.properties file from 4.3.3/webapps/liferay/WEB-INF/classes/ to 4.4.2/webapps/Root/WEB-INF/classes/ .
