Is this a virtual hosted setup? It's probably getting all it's users/skin etc from the main wiki-db, and therefore the empty vhost is not listed in the Dashboard, etc. On top of this, there's the additional surprise of the "global" users from the main Wiki shadowing the "local" users of the local wiki, so perhaps you were able to login using your "global" account? (FYI, I don't think this is a good feature of virtual-wikis and should be optional, and perhaps "off" by default to prevent surprises). In the case of http://testapplis.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Dashboard It shows the following spaces created -- Spaces: Blog Sandbox Main -- but no WebHome's for them, therefore no documents? When I registered, it created a document that shows up in AllDocs http://testapplis.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/NielsMayer And when I created a document, it showed up in http://testapplis.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SpaceIndex?space=Sandbox Therefore I bet it's getting the Sandbox.Webhome from the main wiki. If there was a pre-existing wiki behind this setup, perhaps you need to note the installation document which mentions explicitly that you must name any virtualwiki databases: <div class="warningmessage"><span class="messagetype">Warning: </span>If you 're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=all</tt> to your <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt> file or explicitly name all databases to be migrated as in <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...</tt>.</div><p/>You may also want to <span class="wikilink"><a href="/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download">import the default wiki XAR</a></span> in order to benefit from improvements listed above.<p/><div class="warningmessage"><span class="messagetype">Warning: </span>Always make sure you compare your <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt> file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Of note, you should add <tt> xwiki.store.migration=1</tt> so that XWiki will attempt to automatically mig rate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Data base before doing anything.</div><p/> Niels http://nielsmayer.com On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 4:25 AM, Thomas Eveilleau &lt;thomas(a)xwiki.com <mailto:thomas@xwiki.com>> wrote: Hello, Yesterday we tried to install a 1.8 RC1 on a serv to test some new features but we had some blocker issues : no users listed in the admin page, no groups listed in the admin page, not any document listed in the WhatsNew etc. We first thought that it was a JS issue, but a : #set ($sql = "where 1=1") #set ($list = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql)) {pre} $list {/pre} returned an empty list. Here is the description of the install : - We used a Debian Lenny 5.0 template (with Tomcat 6.0.18 & Java 1.6.0_12 pre-packaged) - We downloaded the .war file on http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/com/xpn/xwiki/products/xwiki-enterprise-web… - We installed Mysql with the debian package (5.0.51a-24 version) - We installed & configured the XE in UTF-8 - We used the standard hibernate conf (just added UTF-8 conf) - We kept the standard xwiki.cfg (+UTF8 elements) - We imported the xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.8-rc-1 xar (found on XWiki.org) - We tested with different mysql-java-connector (current version : 5.0.7) The install is available here (if you want to check it) http://testapplis.xwiki.com/ The Whats New page here : http://testapplis.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WhatsNew Have you got any idea of the problem ?
