    We try to install WS-PGRADE/gUSE on our server and have some problem (we have already installed and working Liferay 6.1.2).
    First of all when we try to install application using console installation wizard, we are getting en error:
    [ Starting processing ]
    Starting process Set permissions (1/2)
    Starting process install.sh (2/2)
    guse db host
    Mysqlhost and port: localhost 3306

    Checking for necessary tools... FAILED! The following tools are missing, please install them: jar
    Install was successful
    application installed on /home/liferay/remote/guse
    [ Console installation done ]

    We don't have X terminal window access so we need to run this wizard through the console.

    We tried to run wizard localy, but there is only two types of installation (frontend, backend or both). With frontend wizard it will install liferay (but we have it already installed). If we resign of frontend instalation, wizard will not install WS-PGRADE.

    Do you have some tutoriall how to integrate this application with an existing liferay instance (step by step)?

    We have Liferay 6.1.2 CE,
    server: 64bit scientific linux 6.3
    java version: 1.7.0_55
    mysql: 5.1.73

    Dear Michal,

    the oldest versions of WS-PGRADE/gUSE had a step-by-step guide to install Liferay and WS-PGRADE/gUSE separately.

    Please refer for example to this document:

    https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/guse/3.4.3/docs/Portal_Installation_Manual_v3.4.3.pdf?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fguse%2Ffiles%2F3.4.3%2Fdocs%2F&ts=1400087164&use_mirror=cznic

    which worked for version 3.4.3.

    I think it should not be difficult to adapt the steps to the new version of gUSE 3.6.3. Here you should skip the Liferay installation and Liferay database creation.

    WS-PGRADE/gUSE is properly running using the following configuration:

    Liferay 6.0.5
    Java 6 (the latest available Oracle-Sun Java 6 version)
    MySQL 5.0.x was tested

    Therefore I believe you could potentially have some issues running with your configuration.

    Please let us know if you need further help.

    Kind regards,

    Eva.

      Hi Eva,

      Thanks for the guide. Michal was checking it, but it doesn't work well with a newer installation and newer system components (e.g. Tomcat 7).

      Meanwhile, we agreed with Alessandro that we would try another approach - installing a virtual machine with gUSE. However, an instruction on how to install gUSE on an existing Liferay portal (and, preferably, in command-line mode - without GUI), could be useful probably as well to other users.

      Regards,
      Joanna

    We would like to use, as an initial framework, the virtual machine provided by guse at http://sourceforge.net/projects/guse/files/DevImage/

    This machine is more than one year old (2012-10-04) and it is probably equipped with an old guse version.
    Can you please provide the community with a new VM (at least guse 3.6.2 ) so that we can exploit the Direct Cloud Access new feature ?

    Regards,

    Alex

      This was already planned. Very soon the new VM will be available.

      Cheers,

    Dear Joanna,

    The VM image containing a stock 3.6.5 deployment will be announced very soon (probably tomorrow).
    Cheers,

    Dear All,

    the gUSE 3.6.5 VM image (guse-3.6.5.gz) is available in the /Home/3.6.5/ directory within Files menu. You find a short description about image usage in /Home/3.6.5/Documentation directory.

    Cheers,
    Tibor

    Dear Tibor,

    in order to customize the gateway we would need the root password of the MySQL server installed into the gUSE 3.6.5 VM. Would it be possible?

    Thank you in advance,

    Eva.
