Question

I am using Windows 7 Operating System.

I have downloaded tomcat bundle and unzipped it inside the

D:\LiferayJulyServer\liferay-portal-6.1.0-ce-ga1\tomcat-7.0.23

so inside the build.username.properties file inside life ray plugin SDK

 app.server.type=tomcat
    app.server.dir=${project.dir}/../bundles/tomcat-6.0.26
    app.server.deploy.dir=${app.server.dir}/webapps
    app.server.lib.global.dir=${app.server.dir}/lib/ext
    app.server.portal.dir=${app.server.dir}/webapps/ROOT

So my question is, can I provide the absolute path of tomcat this way

app.server.dir=D:\LiferayJulyServer\liferay-portal-6.1.0-ce-ga1\tomcat-7.0.23

Or please tell me if this is not the way to do it?

Answer 1

You can provide an absolute path in there, but you should use forward-slashes “/” instead of backslashes “\” as directory separators, otherwise they might be interpreted as escaping the following character. E.g. ...\tomcat will be interpreted as ...<tab>omcat which is a directory that does not exist.

Windows will happily work with these separators.
