Issue

  • Having chaged the name of the main instance, it is reset to 'Liferay DXP' after restarting the portal. Neither portal-ext.properties nor Config Admin name change is preserved.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1 (FP < 10)

Resolution

  • The issue has been resolved in FP10. So installing it will automatically resolv the issue.
  • If you are not able to update the FP, you can blacklist com.liferay.portal.properties.swapper OSGi module, so it doesn't change the name. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Go to Control Panel > Configuration > System Settings > Module Container > Bundle Blacklist
    2. Paste com.liferay.portal.properties.swapper in the text box and save it
    3. Click in the 3-dot menu, and export the configuration
    4. Copy the exported file to $liferay_home/osgi/config
    5. Go to Control Panel > Configuration > Instance Settings  and set the name.
