I have built a website in Liferay using eclipse IDE.

Please tell me the step by step procedure for export/import or publishing website from development machine to deployment machine. .

Thanks

There are two options available to you:

1) Backup your development database & restore it on your production database (make sure all additional portlets are deployed on the production box as well).

2) use Liferay's export / import functionality found

  • Go to Control Panel
  • Go to the community you want to export
  • Click actions -> Manage Pages
  • Go to Export / Import
  • Select all options for Export
  • Save the resulting LAR file somewhere convient
  • Upload the LAR file to your production server
  • Follow the previous steps but go into Import
  • Select any options you require
  • Click "Import"
  • Voila, you're done!

  • thanks a lot ... i followed these steps as you said.... i am able to export and the import the website..
    But the main problem i am facing is when i restart the server or restart the machine , the Community gets removed .     – Komal Arora Sep 18 '11 at 18:06
  • The Community gets removed?! That's a strange issue. What database are you using? i.e. MySQL, Hypersonic etc? Is all data being removed or just this Community? Glad I could help with your previous question though! – Jonny Sep 21 '11 at 09:33

    Where is this setting in Liferay 6.2? – Ashok Goli Jun 03 '14 at 13:08
  • It's under Control panel > Site Pages (In the sidebar) > Export button (it's at the top of the page). – syncdk Jul 16 '14 at 08:08

For the record in Liferay 6.1 the export in control panel under "site pages".
