I am installing liferay-portal-tomcat-6.1.1-ce-ga2-20120731132656558. This is a clean install on a windows 7 machine (no previous version has been installed on the machine). I'm using MySql (mysql-installer-community-5.6.10.1). This was also a fresh install of MySql. to get it to semi-work, I had to replace the mysql.jar (mysql connector jar) with mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-bin.jar. However, I still see some troubling error messages. In particular, I'm concerned about the "Specified key was too long" messages. I'm assuming the 'lportal.lock_' message is just a result of it being the first time everything was started and I don't need to worry about that.

The only thing I've changed was to add the portal-ext.properties file in to define the mysql instance.
