Can know the version of Liferay you using? The fast track publication might be referring to an older version.

You should be able to change the favicon from portal itself

The best way to change the favicon is in the pages configuration as described [here](https://learn.liferay.com/w/dxp/getting-started/changing-your-sites-appearance). The alternative would be using a [client extension](https://learn.liferay.com/w/dxp/development/customizing-liferays-look-and-feel/using-a-theme-favicon-client-extension), but most likely that’s overkill.

Can you check from where the favicon.ico is loaded (_from theme or root path_) when you load the document?

I didn’t notice that you mention it was uploaded to asset library, that is probably why the favicon you configured for the site didn’t load. There are 2 ways I can think of

1. Update the favicon inside classic theme

- Download the classic-theme.war from `osgi\portal-war`
- Open it using 7zip/winrar
- Replace `favicon.ico` file in images folder with your favicon
- Deploy back

2. Use rewrite for favicon.ico, if you are fronting Liferay with Apache/NGINX
