Problems on the tomcat installation documentation

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Affects Version/s: 6.0.5 GA, 6.0.6 GA
• Fix Version/s: --Sprint 11/12, 6.2.0 CE M2
• Component/s: Documentation
• Labels: None
• Environment: tomcat 6, liferay 6 (EE)

The documentation for installing Liferay on Tomcat 6 are not complete or false:

• when editing the root.xml file,
  <Resource
  ...
  url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/lportal?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8"
  ...
  />

should be replaced by

<Resource
...
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/lportal?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8"
...
/>

• The suggested import package for jaas is wrong.
  it is not com.liferay.portal.security.jaas but com.liferay.portal.kernel.security.jaas

• To work properly, the tomcat installation should have those additional dependencies:
  jta.jar
  mail.jar
  persistence.jar

• The permGen space is likely to be extended :
  add XX:MaxPermSize=256m in catalina.bat/catalina.sh

• a portal-ext.properties should be added at the root of the installation.
