Hello Dale,
You are trying to install xwiki in a servlet container, I believe you should
be downloading xwiki-enterprise-web-3.1.war[1] rather than the installer
jar. The installation instructions for a war are at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HInstallin…
Regards,
Bindul

I've been battling with partial documentations of
different install configurations on different versions
of systems and trying to collate them. I have probably
done all sorts of wrong things, but perhaps some one
here can set me straight with a few words.
I am remotely installing to a Natty server (a KVM VM)
via an ssh connection.
I installed a bunch of packages,among which are:
apache2, tomcat6, tomcat6-examples, tomcat6-user,
mysql-server, mysql-client
tomcat6 is working and I can get to it by the wiki.myhost.mydomain
DNS name.
I download the current xwiki.war using wget to
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/xwiki.war and tomcat6 seemed to have
automatically unpacked it.
The version was xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-3.1-standard.jar
I downloaded the latest version of the mysql connector.
The version was mysql-connector-java-5.1.17.jar.
What I then discovered was that there was a META-INF directory
but no WEB-INF as described in the various install instructions
I read.
For the hell of it I then installed the openjdk-6-jdk package
which of course loaded a *lot* of other packages. I then tried
jar xf mysql-connector-java-5.1.17.jar
in the /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/xwiki directory and that gave me
a META-INF and a couple other directories.
There is no hibernate.cfg.xml, described in all the install
info I have read, anywhere to be found.
I am certain I have at some point gone off the narrow twisty
path to success but have no idea where.
Advice would be much appreciated.
Dale Amon
