Ok, sorry that for the misunderstanding on both sides :)
But I'm nevertheless not agree with Sergiu (but that doesn't matter). I'll try to figure out how to do a running installation and then I'll write a complete A-Z Howto for a Xwiki-Installation (for my chosen apps/OS) and post it afterwards under Xwiki.org.

works behind httpd and tomcat is already documented. Setting up httpd,
tomcat and the link between them (mod_proxy or mod_jk) is NOT something
XWiki must document. For example, the documentation for a game should
contain information about installing Windows, DirectX, drivers for the
video card, where to get a joystick from and how to install such a
device? I say no. The same is true here. XWiki is a web application,
comes packaged as a .war, and it is installed as any other .war.
