Issue

  • In order to automate the environment construction, we would like to run the setup wizard at initial startup without GUI.
    Is there any way to do this?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1

Resolution

  • To skip the screen to set user name and email address at initial startup, you can disable the setup wizard with the following properties.

    # Set this property to true if the Setup Wizard should be displayed the
    # first time the portal is started.
    #
    # Env: LIFERAY_SETUP_PERIOD_WIZARD_PERIOD_ENABLED
    #
    setup.wizard.enabled=false
  • If you add necessary settings to portal-setup-wizard.properties and place it directly underLIFERAY_HOME/ and start it, you can skip the setup wizard as well.

  • Please refer to the contents of LIFERAY_HOME/portal-setup-wizard.properties which is generated in the existing environment for the required configuration items.
