This article documents a known issue for users on Apache Tomcat 6.0.44, 7.0.69 or newer (including Tomcat 8) after Apache has issued a bug fix on those versions.

When layout.parallel.render.enable=truehas been set, users might see the following errors in the console logs on Liferay Portal 6.2:

The second one might occur when the following JVM argument is set in CATALINA_OPTS:

org.apache.catalina.connector.RECYCLE_FACADES=true

Resolution

The solution is to set layout.parallel.render.enable= to false in the portal-ext.properties. This property has already been deprecated and set to false by default as of DXP 7.0.
