Hi,

I cannot understand why you are installing Java6 this way.

 I would go for

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin

Once done, run the

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

 command and finally add the line “/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun” to the top of the /etc/jvm file (sudo pico /etc/jvm). Save and exit.

To test your Java(TM) setup in the terminal type:-

java -version

If you get an output like below, then you are done!

java version “1.6.0? Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

I sure the way the way you would install java will work fine. After 10 days of failed atempts at getting Liferay to work this was the way I got it going for the first time, so I wrote this tutorial that way.

You can use iptables to redirect (nat) port tcp/80 to tcp/8080 so that users don't have to enter the specific port for the liferay portal.. see google for some configuration examples.

Or adjust $LIFERAY_HOME/conf/server.xml:

 <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
