Thanks for the quick reply. I have now discovered this is sort of my fault, although some might say RTFM :-). My problem was that I did the install just as I had done previously with 0.9.840, rather than a detailed read of the instructions.
I feel the following is not stressed sufficiently in the documentation, ie Administrators guide - Installation. Following a succesful base install of Xwiki....
a) It is essential to import the file xwiki-1.0-beta-3.xar b) It is a good idea to import file xwiki-application-panels.xar
I believe the documentation stresses that the easiest is to install the standalone version of XWiki. This standalone version already includes the default wiki and it's using a HSQL DB. Just one note: if you import the 1.0 beta 3 XAR file you won't need the panels XAR as it's included in the former. The panels app XAR is only required for users upgrading from an existing install and who want to keep their exsiting pages.
Having performed (a) it is now possibl to login as Admin, register new users and so on. Maybe there should be another section in the Administrators guide explaining what to do after the "blank" xwiki is installed.
By "blank" wiki, I think you refer to what we call the "default" wiki, i.e. the import of the 1.0 beta 3 XAR file, right? What would you suggest to improve the documentation? What other topics should be documented?
I am currently about to try to implement panels in my application and I dont really know where to start.
Yep that's missing and we need it. I believe it should be documented on the Panels doc page on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/ PanelsApplication. Once you figure it out, it would be nice if you could edit that page and improve the existing documentation. It's a wiki after all and everyone is most welcome to contribute :)
But so far I am most impressed with the new Xwiki
Cool, I'm glad you like it :) Thanks -Vincent

I am a New user. I have some previous experience with 0.9.840. Just installed Xwiki 1.0 beta3 (requiring upgraded to java5) The sql database is xwiki, user xwiki, pasword xwiki as before Everything seems to work OK and I can edit content. I have imported Panels, nothing else.
I have "Log-in", "Register", "Administration", "En" in the top right BUT ...
I cannot login as Admin - password "admin"
That's because you probably don't have an Admin user with that password in your database... That would be normal if you have only imported the Panels.
I cannot register a new user
That's not normal... It needs to be fixed. Could you please a JIRA issue about this please? (http://jira.xwiki.org)
When I try to register I just get a login screen.
Under Administration I can get to the "Users and groups" where it says ...
I'm not sure about this. I need to do some research because I think that you shouldn't be able to see the Administration link if you're not logged in...
You can currently edit users using the wiki on the users page. (I can't) You can currently edit groups using the wiki on the groups page. (I can't)
But if I go to those pages I can see nothing and do not see how to add users.
What am I missing?
Have you started with 1.0 beta 3 but with an empty database and only imported the Panels? If so then it's normal you're having problems because your wiki is missing all required pages and users so you can only log in as a superuser (that's the user defined in xwiki.cfg).
Note: As I said above I don't know why you can access the Administration page when you're starting with an empty wiki. I think it would be better to only allow access to the superuser in that case. Sergiu, Ludovic: can you shed some light on this?
Thanks -Vincent
