I installed basic XE instead of XEM, but there is no change - my web browser still does not bring up XWiki. I looked a bit into the http/tomcat connector issue - it seems like this is a likely culprit given that I don't even have access to the Tomcat logs. I assumed that my hosting provider would have installed mod_jk, but now I am not sure. I will check with them about this and making sure 8080 is forwarded through the firewall. If that fails to resolve the problem, I will re-ask with more info. Thank you for the help so far, aaron On Mon, Jul 18, 2011 at 9:03 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu <[email protected]> wrote:

Specifying the port gives me a "can't connect" error, the last one just gives me a 404 (it's obviously being handled on port 80 by apache)
If 8080 doesn't work, then it's blocked by the firewall, you could try to check if you can allow 8080 out of the firewall.
If the 404 is a classic apache httpd response, then there's no bridge connecting httpd and tomcat, so it's not an XWiki issue but a httpd<->tomcat connector one.
I do not think I have access to the Tomcat logs since it is a shared container - they do not show up anywhere that I can find on my filesystem through SSH.
Try looking ini in /var/log/tomcat* or /usr/local/tomcat*/logs/

Someday, I will not be clueless...
I have successfully installed a local development copy of xwiki on Windows, but I'm having some trouble getting XEM installed on my shared linux server. I'm running on a shared Tomcat (5.027) container.
Following both the tutorial for XEM and for XE, I have done the following:
1) Since it is a shared hosting environment and java is enabled, I assume I do not have to manually install either java or MySQL. I have created a MySQL database with the name "xwikidb" through my hosting control panel with username "xwikidb." I do not have the ability to add full privileges to the user, but I was told this would not prevent basic installation of XEM.
2) Renamed the "xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-3.1-standard.war" file to xwiki.war and uploaded to my server. It exploded as expected when the server restarted to a subdirectory called "xwiki."
3) I downloaded the MySQL Java Connector and put mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar in my /xwiki/WEB-INF/lib folder
4) Modified the hibernate.cfg.xml file to uncomment the MySQL section and comment out the default. Changed the username and password fields to my information.
5) Checked to make sure "localhost" was defined in /etc/hosts
OK, this should be enough.
6) Now what? There's no .sh file in the WAR...What do I start? I have already waited for Tomcat to restart, but it doesn't appear that xwiki is running.
How are you checking? Is there an error message displayed when trying to access the application? Are there any errors in the tomcat logs?
Sure that I'm missing something obvious. Relative newbie to linux servers...
