But the database gets filled right way, doesn't it ? So we loose

experience what you describe, maybe I changed browsers halfway, in
doubt that Safari or OmniWeb was imperfectly supported.
In all cases, how long should this admin right last ? The method
seems slightly unsafe to my taste. I really prefer to take a stab at
the config.
Most other "easy to install platforms" nowadays have a kind of wizard
for the first-time connection which even includes the config of the
database connection. This is at least the case of Moodle and Drupal.
I remember a friend forwarding me:

I think it the eXo platform and Jahia are other examples with a
configurator.
Since it's a wizard, it's pretty clear that you should "hang on" (and
not change browsers, for example!). Generally it concludes by trying
to write its own configuration (which of course fails in some cases,
then you're told to change the files yourself).
I don't like installers in general but I feel that a configurator is
rather a good thing except being yet another feature wish.

PS: I believe I and Morten are not the only one to mistrust Jetty. It
may be wrong, I agree... but that must be common. Hence the
standalone version does not come as an option.
May way there was simply to read the config and
see that there's
an admin password (for username "superadmin") that needs to be set
there by removing the comment in front of the config line.
The official method is
the one described in the installation guide.
[...] I suggest you start with the standalone distribution. It
takes less than 5 minutes to get started once you've downloaded
either the zip or the installer.
PS: Paul, there's no need to log in as superadmin since if your
database is empty you'll have admin rights even when not logged in.
