You should be able set the following property in portal-ext.properties:

#
# This sets the default home URL of the portal.
#
company.default.home.url=/web/guest

Probably because there is no /login page.
I think you want the following page:
company.default.home.url=/c/portal/login

Hi,
i got it resolved by setting the property company.default.home.url=/web/guest/home?p_p_id=58&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=maximized&p_p_mode=view.But even after deleting the cookies the page shows @liferay.com in user name textbox.If the user wants nothing should be displayed in user name place then what should be done.....please suggest......

You can do this by editing organization properties in the control panel. Can also set it to standard organization id like abc@organization.com instead of abc@liferay.com

Hi,
after setting the login page as default still the options like "welcome" is visible in the navigation bar (just below the liferay logo).can anyone suggest me how to remove that bar from the login page.Actually we have deployed this login page as login hook.so may be for that reason it is not replacing the portal default page as a whole and the upper part is retained as such.so if there is any other way to change the html part of the portal default page so that we can delete the navigation bar along with the option "welcome" from the login page,please suggest.............

Thanks
Rojalin

I assume you are referring to the navigation menu.

The navigation menu is controlled by your theme. So you'll need to some added logic to your theme to hide the menu if the user has not signed in. You can use the variable $is_signed_in to test if a user has signed in.

It seems to me like you're trying to password protect all your pages. If you only want authenticated users to use your site, you may want to consider some different approach.
* Switch from using public pages to private pages.
* Remove the guest view permission from all your pages.
