Time for action – installing a plugin to provide PayPal Sandbox environment support

1. Stop the Liferay Portal server, if it is already running.

2. Locate the deploy directory in the root folder where you installed the Liferay portal server:

   

3. Copy shopping-paypal-ext-6.0.6.1.war from the downloaded code to deploy the directory located in the preceding step.

4. Now, start the Liferay Portal server.

5. Once the server is up and running, we need to restart the server again as we deployed the ext plugin of Liferay. So stop the server and start the server again.

   Tip

   Once the server is started after step 4, you should see the following message on the server console. You need to restart the server after you see this message:

   INFO [ExtHotDeployListener:188] Extension environment for shopping-paypal-ext has been applied. You must reboot the server and redeploy all other plugins.
