I just wanted to make sure that the behaviour I observe with Liferay is the same as others and not a config error on my part.
When I login to the frontend of our liferay server, the dockbar at the top does not load properly, I have to specify either port 8080 or port 8181, and this only works if I use Chromium, not Firefox.
If I then go to the Control Panel or load any page, the dockbar changes back to the "loading circle", and only comes back if I again specify the port. I've searched extensively on Google, but haven't come across anything helpful.
Also, I cannot seem to access the 4848 server config from Firefox, but I can access it from Chromium. Perhaps a certificate problem ? Chromium says the site is untrusted and asks for my personal certificate, but Firefox doesn't get anywhere and eventually times out (my certificates are loaded in both browsers).
I suspect it is something simple, perhaps Apache is switching between port 80/443 and 8080/8181, but I just can't seem to get it right. I've gone over the config settings in the wiki multiple times, and they are the same.
Thanks
Liam

Hi everyone
I've answered my own question it seems, editing portal-ext.properties to
web.server.http.port=8080
web.server.https.port=8181
instead of 80 and 443 as suggested in https://sourceforge.net/p/ctsciencegtwys/wiki/InstallLiferay611/ sorts out the problem. I don't know if this is correct config or not, but it's working.
