Humm, doesn't work for me. Benoit, when you create a virtual wiki (let's say sales), do you create a new sales database ? I wonder if all the virtual wikis store their data into the xwiki database (sales stores its data into xwiki DB) or if each one has its own database (sales stores its data into sales DB) ?
 
When you grant the sales user (grant all privileges on sales.* to sales@localhost identified by 'sales') you are assuming that the database name is sales and the password is sales too. How does XWiki handles that ?
 
But I really thought that XWiki Manager would handles all that automatically. Am I wrong ?

The Wiki Manager plugin does automatically create a new database for the new wiki. However we don't automatically set the privileges (I guess that's because there might not be any standard way of doing this in Hibernate). So what you have to do (once) is:

grant all privileges on *.* to xwiki@localhost identified by 'xwiki'

Then you're good to go.

Hi Antonio,

I have the same symptoms. (i have xem 1.0 m1 installed)
and on the log there is a permission problem rc

So for each new vitual wiki i create, i do the following, (it works) :
grant all privileges on sales.* to sales@localhost identified by 'sales'
grant all privileges on xwiki.* to xwiki@localhost identified by 'xwiki'

(my own problem is that mysql is not my well known database and i had never
get time to loock in)
