Setting up Liferay Portal nodes

As shown in the architecture diagram, we need to configure two Liferay Portal server nodes. Throughout the book, we will refer to both Liferay Portal servers as liferay-node-01 and liferay-node-02 respectively. Let's do that by following the ensuing steps:

1. On liferay-node-01, create a directory named node-01 in the root directory, and then extract the Liferay Portal 6.1 GA2 bundle in it. Similarly on liferay-node-02, create a directory name, node-02, and extract the Liferay Portal bundle in it.

   Note

   We created node-01 and node-02 directories for easy reference to the Liferay installation directory throughout the book. It may not be required on production setup. Throughout the book we will refer to the node-01 directory for Liferay Portal installation on the liferay-node-01 server and the node-02 directory for Liferay Portal installation on the liferay-node-02 server.

2. Create a new database schema in the MySQL Database server using the following command:
