liferay 7 database wizard

New Member Posts: 20 Join Date: 12/29/14 Recent Posts
When i started liferay 7 GA3 for the first time, the browser on my laptop automatically opened the wizard with user and database configuration. I left the default values (which is hypersoning database) and moved forward to the portal. I now want to connect my liferay istance to a mysql database. I have changed this line in the portal-setup-wizard.properties:

setup.wizard.enabled from "no" to "yes"

But when i restart liferay the wizard do not show anymore.

Is there any other configuration i have to write in liferay files to make the wizard to show again? Or maybe i have to configure the database manually?

Instead of yes or no, try false (unless that is what you did initially) for the setup.wizard.enabled property. If that doesn't work, what I've done in the past to get the setup wizard back is delete the portal-setup-wizard file and then restart liferay.

If you want to configure the connection manually have a look here for the various properties to be set:
https://docs.liferay.com/portal/7.0/propertiesdoc/portal.properties.html#JDBC

Make sure you have the connector JAR for the database that you'll be using.
