Liferay audit offline install
Hello!
please help.
We have liferay 6.1 EE, GlassFish 3.1 installed.
Downloaded liferay-audit but can't ofline install it.
I used these instructions https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018153491-Plugin-Management
"Audit" and "EE" implies some kind of security awareness, but 6.1 is so long out of service, that there is a strong mismatch between both.
Even on paid support tickets, you should provide more information than "it doesn't work", and this is the free and voluntary support forum: Please give details: What have you tried, what do you observe, and what keeps you from updating your system to be truly security-conscious?
We tried to upgrade to version 6.2, but the old portlets didn't work.
I put the file Liferay Audit-6210.lpkg in the folder liferay-portal-6.1.0\deploy, the file unpacked into 3 files audit-hook-6.2.10.1.war, audit-portlet-6.2.10.3.war, liferay-marketplace.properties. But the war files are not installed and remain in the folder liferay-portal-6.1.0\deploy
The version numbers in those file names indicate that you're trying to install a 6.2 plugin to 6.1, and that won't work. You'll either need to find a 6.1 version of that plugin (AFAIK the legacy marketplace and legacy versions can be installed or downloaded from the in-product-marketplace, but not directly from the website) or upgrade.
Note that upgrades imply more than just upgrading the platform: As you discovered, your own portlets must be evaluated and upgraded as well. However, you shouldn't stop at 6.2: We're now at 7.4 for a lot more than 2 years, and 6.2, just as 6.1, ran out of enterprise support a long time ago.
