Re: [xwiki-devs] Howto-Request (+Donation)

justanotheradress wrote Localhost can be replaced by any host name, yourcomputer.yourdomain.com, resolved by a DNS (domain name server) or simply include in the host file of your system. But you can skip this part until you have a running system accessible at http://localhost/xwiki/... This part has nothing to do with XWiki by itself but with general Internet functioning issues. Forget about it at the moment. If you have a running Tomcat instance it will probably be accessible at http://localhost:8080. The number after : is the port number at witch the standalone Tomcat http server is running. As you are running Tomcat as a servlet container, xwiki must be copied to your /webapps folder. If you have installed Tomcat by yourself, you must know where its folder is. It could be under /usr/share, or under /Library/Tomcat,... I've no Debian distribution running here. Sorry. As per security: concerns about security can be as bigger as you want!!! Physical security? Logical security? Encryption? Users management?... Once again, I will delay this issue until you gain some experience working with a local installation. If you have a Firewall installed, probably nobody can access your 8080 port from the Internet. I think you could follow this thread at the users list. This devs one is devoted to developing aspects with witch your doubts has few or nothing to do.
