Where to find a working distribution for older Liferay Portals? https://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_thread?p_l_id=119785294&threadId=121421150 2026-06-14T21:38:26Z 2026-06-14T21:38:26Z Russell Bohl https://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=121423372 2022-05-16T15:21:40Z 2022-05-16T15:21:38Z

<p>Hi Marcel, don't try to use App Builder. It's <a href="https://learn.liferay.com/dxp/latest/en/installation-and-upgrades/upgrading-liferay/reference/maintenance-mode-and-deprecations-in-7-4.html#features-deprecated-in-7-4">replaced</a> by <a href="https://learn.liferay.com/dxp/latest/en/building-applications/objects.html">Objects</a>.</p> <p>If you'ree just getting started, forget about 7.3 altogether. Use 7.4.</p>

<p>Hi Scarletake, </p> <p>but App Builder is available in the Marketplace for 7.3.x versions and it's 2022 and app builder seems not available for 7.4. </p>

<p>Hi all, </p> <p>I'm just in the beginning of my liferay jurney and what I saw so far is pretty cool. But I'm stuck in my exploration trying to get the app builder running. </p> <p>My fist approach was to just download the most recent Liferay (Community) Version 7.4.3 as the tomcat bundle with a local postgres.</p> <p>I installed the App Builder there. So far, so good, but activation wasn't possible due to &quot;stopped blacklisted module&quot;. I had a look into my Blacklists, but nope, nothing in there so there's maybe something else blocking me. I found that App Builder is available for Version 7.3.0 GA1+ and understood it as the lowest version but then found a post during a google research saying make sure that at least major and minor are met. So heading to github to download an older version. First try: downloaded 7.3.5 GA6 tomcat bundle, unpacked, ran from powershell on windows. -&gt; Something went wrong with the hsql db from the beginning. But as the Server started I tried connecting to my postgres in the init screen without success... the hsql db wanted to stay. Second try: downloaded 7.3.0 GA1, unpacked, ran from powershell on windows. Guess what? No DB Error! So proceed to fill the form again, adding my db AND some classic_theme error happend. </p> <p>So, do I miss something? How would you recommend me to install a running system that is capabale of taking the App Builder?   </p>
