Guillaume,
Well just for convienence so if you have to reboot the Windows
server then
XWiki would come up as a Windows service without admins having to
remember
to restart XWiki. Having XWiki run as a Windows service seems the more
practical option in this case.
The answer is to be found in the documentation of your servlet
container. It's not related to xwiki.
For example if you're using Tomcat:

What we could do (and your help would be most welcome) is to provide
links in our installation guide to sites explaining how to start up
the different containers as services.
Thanks

Vista
Hi Richard,
I've got a quick question : since XWiki Enterprise uses a client -
server
architecture and is meant to be installed on the server and accessed
through
a browser over the network, why would you need to have XWiki
Enteprise start
each time windows start ?
Why don't you simply keep your windows server up all the time, with
XWiki
Enterprise running on top of it all the time ?

Hi,
Some user observations on installing and running XWiki on Windows
Vista:
I tried installing (as administrator) the latest version of XWiki
(using
the
slick looking Windows installer) on Windows Vista and it seemed to
install
ok, but when I tried running it up using the XWiki starup shortcut
on the
desktop it couldn't find the start_xwiki.bat in the XWiki
directory. I
looked and found it under the jetty directory, so moved them to the
XWiki
directory and tried again, but got access denied errors and can't
write to
the log file errors in the startup window. When I ran the the
start_xwiki.bat directly from a command window it started up
correctly and
worked fine. So it looks like some configuration, permissions
issues need
addressing in the next release of XWiki.
To simply things is it possible to install XWiki directly as a
Windows
service so it always comes up when Windows starts? Does anyone know
how to
do this? Maybe this could be done for the next release of XWiki? The
easier
and quicker XWiki can be installed and run up
then more likely it
is to be
used by more users.
New WYSIWYG editor
Like the new editor ... but it's still got a long way to go ... I'd
like
to
see some easy WYSIWYG way of laying out tables,
columns, rows,
frames by
being able to drag them to the desired positions and sizes.
Document storage in XWiki
Like to have the option to store attached documents external to any
XWiki
database in some sort of directory structure, for ease of backup
and to
ease
performance issues when the database gets stuffed with huge
documents.
Hope these observations help.
Regards,
Richard
