Compiling and Deploying rike | standalone

How to compile and deploy rike and liferay.

WARNING: This approach is not suitable for an already deployed liferay instance. If you already have deployed liferay with other portlets, just follow the steps "Install Prerequisites", "Prepare the Database", "Get rike Sources", "Compile rike". These steps will create all war files, which you then can deploy into your liferay instance.

Install Prerequisites

# package names and/or installer may differ in different linux distributions, consult your distribution manual
yum install mysql-server graphviz java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel git
# enable mysql on boot
chkconfig mysqld on
# start mysql
/etc/init.d/mysqld start

Get Liferay

cd /opt/
wget "http://sourceforge.net/projects/lportal/files/Liferay%20Portal/6.1.1%20GA2/liferay-portal-tomcat-6.1.1-ce-ga2-20120731132656558.zip/download"
unzip liferay-portal-tomcat-6.1.1-ce-ga2-20120731132656558.zip

# remove demo portlets
# WARNING: this deletes all webapps except ROOT!
cd /opt/liferay-portal-6.1.1-ce-ga2/tomcat-7.0.27/webapps/ && rm -rf $(ls | grep -v ROOT)

Get rike Sources

git clone https://github.com/arago/rike.git /opt/rike/

Prepare the Database

mysql <<< "create database rike"
mysql <<< "grant all on rike.* to rike@localhost identified by 'rike'"
mysql <<< "flush privileges"
mysql rike < /opt/rike/arago-rike-commons/src/main/resources/schema.mysql

Compile rike

cd /opt/

wget "http://apache.lehtivihrea.org/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz"
tar xfz apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz

cd /opt/rike/

/opt/apache-maven-3.0.5/bin/mvn clean package
mkdir /opt/liferay-portal-6.1.1-ce-ga2/deploy/
find . -name *.war -exec cp '{}' /opt/liferay-portal-6.1.1-ce-ga2/deploy/ ';'

Start Liferay

cd /opt/liferay-portal-6.1.1-ce-ga2/tomcat-7.0.27/bin
./catalina.sh run # use ./catalina.sh start for daemon mode

wait until the log (/opt/liferay-portal-6.1.1-ce-ga2/tomcat-7.0.27/logs/catalina.out) says "INFO: Server startup in [number] ms"
