Liferay Portal works with a database called “hsql” To work with a Mysql database, create a database called

“lportal” and a user with all the grants to that database.Then create a file called “portal-ext.properties” on“C: \liferay-portal-5.2.3″. Copy and paste the next code init:

 jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver  jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/ lportal ?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF- 8&useFastDateParsing=false

 jdbc.default.username= lportal 

 jdbc.default.password= lportal 

Where the words in bold are: database name, usernameand password.
