RE: LifeRay Community edition compatibility Matrix
Hi Team,
I found that LifeRay 7 Community edition supports the open sourced Databases like MySQL 5.6, Mariadb10, postgresql9.3 and Application servers like Wildfly and Tomcat. Other non-open source Application servers like Websphere, Jboss etc and non-open source Databases like Oracle database, Microsoft Sql server, IBM db2 is not available. These will be available only in LifeRay 7 DXP (paid version). And clustering is not available in LifeRay community edition 7.
I also found that the old LifeRay 6.2 community edition can support more open source and non-open source databases and application servers. Also this version supports clustering. Based on information provided in compatibility matrix link provided in LifeRay 6.2 community edition link below.
https://web.liferay.com/web/james.falkner/blog/-/blogs/liferay-6-2-ce-ga6-now-available
But the compatibility matrix is common for both LifeRay 6.2 EE(paid) and community edition

So my question is does LifeRay 6.2 CE really supports the databases and application servers that was listed in the above link?
Please reply to this question ASAP.
Thanks,
Sirisha

Yes.
That said, you should be aware that it is not an actively developed and supported version any more. You're not going to get new development tools, you're not going to find support for the latest javascript frameworks or later versions of bootstrap, ...
Come meet me at Devcon 2017 or 2017 LSNA!
So to use LifeRay for Application servers like Jboss, Websphere, Weblogic and Databases like Oracle 10, IBM DB2, SQL server we need to go for paid version of LifeRay ie., 7 DXP ?

If I'm allowed to nitpick: Kind of. The product name is either "Liferay DXP" or, less commonly, "Liferay Digital Enterprise 7.0".
There's neither a "7 DXP" nor any form of "LifeRay".
And there are community plugins for commercial databases available. I believe that no community plugins are available for the commercial appservers.
Thank Olaf and David for the information!
