How to change the site name
New Member Posts: 12 Join Date: 9/12/16 Recent Posts
I've started Liferay 7.0 GA3 bundled with Tomcat, changed database driver to PostgreSQL, and restarted. In the initial configuration wizard I've entered the site name with a non-English character, and for some reason it has been saved to the database with a wrong encoding.

How do I change the site name? I cannot find it anywhere. I've tried Control Panel -> Sites -> Sites -> Edit, but the site name is only on the black bar at top of the page, and there is no field to edit it. I've tried to search for the solution, but all answers were related to version 6, and they apparently do not apply to version 7.

I've found it by accident, looking for something else: Control Panel -> Configuration -> Instance Settings -> Configuration -> General -> Name.

Hi Cezariusz Marek,

Go to Control Panel -> your site -> Configuration-> Site Settings.
There is one field called "Name".

Devang

Hi Cezariusz Marek,

The siteName which you edit is your default LR site.
You didn't mention that you want to change LR's default site Name(Instance), So I suggested for newly created site.
Refer the below screenshot for new site.

Regards,
Devang

I'm a novice user, I had no idea there is a difference between the default site and a new site. Thanks for trying to help though.

To Change the default site's name (LR 7.1), run this script under Server Admin > Script

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.service.*;
import com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.*;

result = GroupLocalServiceUtil.search(PortalUtil.getDefaultCompanyId(), null, "Liferay DXP", null, null, false, 0, 1).get(0);
company = CompanyLocalServiceUtil.getCompany(result.getCompanyId())
company.getAccount().setName("New Site Name")
company.getAccount().persist()

Control Panel / Configuration / Instance Settings. It's the first input field.

It is  a weird issue. Please check the "Group" table in DB after changing the Site name.

Sorry i thought you are trying to change the Site name. ( subject of the title misguided )

OK got it, You are changing the instance name of the portal, then it should be changed in Account_ table. 

Please check the portal-ext.properties if any default instance name is mentioned?

Did you check removing the property from portal-ext and changing the name through control panel?
