Thanks everyone! I tried all your suggestions and the one that sort-of worked was "http://127.0.0.1:8080". (The other urls just gave the same error page.) The funny thing is that 127.0.0.1 didn't give me the xwiki page, it gave me the page of *another* wiki that I'm simultaneously evaluating (also on port 8080). My bad! No wonder XWiki wasn't running. I uninstalled the other wiki and now the XWiki page comes up just fine. Again, thanks a bunch! - Meilin Andreas Schaefer wrote:
When you get http://localhost.com you just forgot to enter http:// this is a nasty behavior of Windows or IE (I am not sure).
If everything else fails you can either:
edit the hosts file (somwhere in /Windows/System32/..) and add localhost.com 127.0.0.1
or just use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
Cheers - Andy

Hi all,
I installed XWiki using the standalone install on my Vista64 machine and it looks like the XWiki server starts up fine (using the start_xwiki.bat batch file). However when I try to access http://localhost:8080 with my browser, I keep getting errors as if there is no web server or wiki running at all. I accepted all the defaults when installing except that I installed it under "C:\XWiki Enterprise" and I ran the installer as administrator. (I'm not sure if I need Java 5. I have Java 6, Update 10.)
The error I'm getting in my browser (Firefox 3.0.1) is "Page Load Error"
Network Timeout
The server at www.localhost.com is taking too long to respond.
Why does it say www.localhost.com? Make sure the address is just http://localhost:8080/, without www or com.
The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.
* Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage? Try again later. * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection. * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing. * Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.
Has anyone had this kind of error before or have ideas on what I'm missing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
