[xwiki-devs] Xwiki admin install and migration guides
Hi, I got a personal request from Vincent Massol wanting me to update everyone on the status of my documentation project for installing Xwiki on non-mainstream systems - by that I mean Linux. In writing the documents I had 3, for installing on FreeBSD w/Tomcat, Solaris w/Gassfish, and a migration guide. These are now complete! There are some notes at the bottom of the Migration Guide; don't pay any attention to these as they are obsolete with Nexenta merging with OpenIndiana..... http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/BSD_Install http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Glassfish_Solaris http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/BSD_Migration I would like these to go 'live' and be put onto the production site if applicable! Regards, Kaya
Hi, Great work! Could you remove the custom styles, so that we have consistent style across all documentation ? (I remember Caty mentioning this once already). I'm talking about the "(% class="moz-text-plain" graphical-quote="true" lang="x-unicode" style="font-family: -moz-fixed; font-size: 13px;" wrap="true" %)" Thanks Jerome On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 8:27 AM, Kaya Saman <[email protected]> wrote:

To follow existing documentations I would suggest the following:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationBSD and listed in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HTutorials
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Glassfish_Solaris
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationGlassfishSol... and listed on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HTutorials
Not sure about this one, as far as I can see there is no generic documentation about it to list it as specialized tutorial. Maybe create a new http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Migration section listed in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ with some quick generic informations about it and list yours in a Tutorials section like for the install one.
I would like these to go 'live' and be put onto the production site if applicable!

I refactored this one a bit to be more compliant with the style of the other documents on xwiki.org. One thing I noticed is that the steps are very detailed and go through all the errors encountered on the way, which I think is a bit too verbose. Do you think that you could list all the prerequisite steps in order to avoid errors and frustration from other users? What I mean by that is, for example, to list all the downloads needed to successfully build the JDK, like: tzupdater-1_3_31-2010i.zip diablo-jdk-freebsd7.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz diablo-caffe-freebsd7-amd64-1.6.0_07-b02.tar.bz2 http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u3/promoted/b05/jdk-6u3-fcs-src-b05-jrl-2... http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u3/promoted/b05/jdk-6u3-fcs-bin-b05-jrl-2... http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u3/promoted/b05/jdk-6u3-fcs-mozilla_heade... Also, don't start with building Tomcat to get an error, start with building the JDK, then go to building Tomcat without getting any errors.

Sure thing! Sorry I am a bit unresonsive at present, things are quite manic at work right now. I will make every effort to sort this out soon - at the latest over the weekend but hopefully there will be a few evenings where I can play around and re-jig in accordance with what is wanted :-) P.s. on a side note - thanks for all the support I really appreciate that! :-) Regards, Kaya
