Issue
- I would like to know how to change the Private default friendly URL from "/group" to "/private" on Liferay DXP bundled with Tomcat.
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.3
- Tomcat 9.0
Resolution
-
-
Add the following property to portal-ext.properties file:
layout.friendly.url.private.group.servlet.mapping=/private
- Edit the web.xml file at <tomcat-home>/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml with the following:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Friendly URL Servlet - Private Group</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/private/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
-
Change the same occurrences of the modification (/group/ → /private/) in all Filter Mappings in <tomcat-home>/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/liferay-web.xml. There will be a dozen occurences, e.g.:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Strip Filter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/private/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
- Delete cache folders and restart Liferay
