The system administrator of our virtual server is not very communicative. The fact that he lives in another state doesn't help matters. The last status I saw from him on Friday afternoon was that he was having some disk space issues, but was almost done.
For some reason, I missed the email he sent later saying it was installed. Over the weekend I checked the URL a couple of times but the browser said the page was not found. Maybe I wasn't using the right URL or sometimes the virtual machine will be down for various reasons. Anyway, Monday morning I checked and got a welcome screen that offered me the option to log in to Liferay. That meant that something new had gotten installed!
I logged in with one of the test accounts I had remembered from WebSynergy. All the pages were labeled Liferay. The Admin portlet on the Admin page had a statement: "Liferay Portal 5.2.0 (Augustine / Build 5200 / October 16, 2008)". The system administrator has had more experience with Liferay so I thought maybe he had installed that instead.
But, at least now the available menu options made more sense in light of advice I had received on the forums. I was familiar enough with the general idea of WSRP that I managed with very little trouble to create and display a portlet window that was consuming the WSRP producer portlet at http://wsrp.dyndns.org:10040/wps/wsdl/service.wsdl That's a big step in the right direction. Later, after I got back in touch with the system administrator, he explained that WebSynergy Milestone 3 has enabled Liferay as the default theme. I must have missed that memo.
