Hi Tim,
One of the main problems there is that you're using
localhost in your configuration - which as it stands is not accessable outside
your physical pc by design (this applies pretty much to all operating
systems). This is because localhost is treated as a special
entity.
For XWiki to understand what you're wanting to do,
you're going to have to use the actual name of the pc where XWiki is installed
(and not localhost or even the ip address for that matter). If you're on a
TCP/IP network, each pc on the network requires a name - so you should already
have a domain name to work with. In my case, I'm using a deep domain
name ([virtualname].servername.d1.d2.domain.com, with altered [virtualname]'s
for each virtual xwiki instance) which XWiki uses without any
problems.
-> Instead of a virtual XWiki, you could try to run
seperate full xwiki installations - I'm not sure if the linking is fixed yet (it
was a bug when v1.0Beta1 was released); if it is fixed this is as simple as
copying the xwiki folder to a new name once the war is expanded by
tomcat.
Accessing the different xwiki sites would be a matter of
changing the \xwiki\ string in the URL (if that makes sense - it's late
wednesday and I had an really early morning).
-> On the other hand, if you're really keen on a virtual
XWiki setup and you've got access to a knowledgable network
administrator you'll probably find the configuration will take a few minutes;
whether using LMHOSTS (a very bad idea for more than a handful of
workstations on a network), or setting up DNS forward
addresses.
PS:
Please keep
all replies/queries in the group, this ensures that this problem can be
researched in future. Also, as my domain stems from
Brandon,
While following the documentation, I followed all
the steps and created all necessary documents(except for network
pointers) and classes but the problem comes when I try to fill in the
server spot for the page. I put localhost one time and it gave me the fresh
database but replaced my old database. Basically, I need to know how I can do
this using Tomcat since the directions are mostly focused on domain names and I
am not using a web host for this project. Any information you need or steps that
I took let me know.
Thanks,
Tim
