Liferay installation with Eclipse Indigo

I am beginner worker with Liferay bundled with Tomcat server. So I downloaded the latest version of Liferay called:

liferay-portal-tomcat-7.0-ce-ga1-20160331161017956.zip

but when I extracted the archive I found Tomcat 8 not 7

So I faced a problem when trying to work with Eclipse and Liferay IDE with requires at most Tomcat server 7 installed not 8.

And that was the error message:

I didn't find older version of Liferay because all of them are Enterprise Edition. Any Help?

Solution

  • The liferay zip you downloaded is liferay-portal-tomcat-7.0-ce-ga1-20160331161017956.zip

    With the file name -

    liferay-portal = You downloaded Liferay Portal Server, not sdk, src, dependency etc
xxx-tomcat-xxx = You downloaded tomcat bundle
xx-7.0-xx      = You downloaded Liferay portal versin 7.0
xx-ce-xx       = Community Edition
xx-ga1-xx      = General availability

    There would be many more GA coming.

    "but when I extracted the archive I found Tomcat 8 not 7" -- So you got the liferay version as 7 and whatever tomcat is bundled.

    Hope this helps.
