I am using liferay to develop a website. In Site Administration, under Site Pages, I am trying to import a .lar file. I selected the lar file and then when I click on import after following the steps, the import is failed and the error message that I get is :

An unexpected error occurred with the publication process. Please check your portal and publising configuration. com.liferay.portlet.journal.DuplicateArticleIdException

I have tried importing the lar file several times but I get this same error message evrytime

What is the cause for this and what should be done?

Are you trying to import pages along with other data,because if you need only the pages,you can uncheck the data field,while importing the lar.It seems some existing content is being imported by the lar,which is leading to duplicate id exception. - Shivam Aggarwal
@ShivamAggarwal : Thanks for the reply. I need only the pages to be imported. Each page has web content display and theme. These web content display will be modified later by the user. I did not find the data field check box. Can you tell me where exactly I can find the data field while importing the lar file - user2822187
Yes,after clicking on import,in the import dialog box,under applications,just uncheck data and try again. - Shivam Aggarwal
@ShivamAggarwal : I will note the steps I followed since I cannot find the data field. I am using liferay 6.2 and I clicked on Import and the dialog box appears. There are many radio button oprtion. Among them there is All Applications and Choose Applications.In both of them, I did not find data field. I searched in other places but there is not data field. - user2822187
Okay..so the thing is you have to uncheck all other content so after selecting choose content,just uncheck everything including wiki,web content - Shivam Aggarwal

Collating all comments in a single answer,try out with these given scenarios

  1. Unchecking content or all application or both,if there
  2. You have to uncheck all other content so after selecting choose content,just uncheck everything including wiki,web content
  3. By importing these pages(without content included),all the required pages are created but any other data such as any wiki,blog,web content or forum is not imported,so if the end user needs just the pages,with your portlets on it
  4. It seems some of the content you are trying to import already exists in portal.Try out this..try 1)export your current data from portal 2)delete existing content 3)try importing with checkboxes,checked
