Hallo
I did read those pages. I promise! Really! I mean it! Initially it didnt work with the original Mysql dialect. Probably because i did not yet solve the security trouble i had at that moment.
i cleaned the database and changed from Mysql5 to the Mysql Dialect and OH see! it works! :-)
Glad you got it working!
yet it amazes me: mysql did change a lot of things from version 4.1 to 5.0 (join syntax, sql strict). i was kinda expecting more detailed requirements on the database versions. i do a lot of work and installations on php based software. they all distinguish mysql 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 versions. compared to mediawiki the setup takes ages. well 2 hours compared to 20 minutes. no disaster - yet space for improvement :)
Well there are 2 options when installing: 1) User want to try quickly or is not too technical: He uses the standalone installation. (the zip, installer jar or exe). There's nothing to do, it's all setup; No container, no db to setup. 2) User wants control on his container + DB and is technical: He picks the WAR AND reads the documentation. For 1), setup takes under a minute. For 2), I would say setup should take about 10 minutes max if you follow the documentation. Still I'd like to understand why it took longer for you and how mediawiki's setup is simpler so that we can improve the setup. Thanks -Vincent
ready for testing now.
thanks a lot! regards

Hi ossi,
Why don't you check the Installation guide on xwiki.org? :)
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation
You'll see that it has a section about MySQL: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationMySQL
The dialect there is different from the one you used. What's sure is that the issue is a Hibernate configuration issue.
Hopefully, that should solve the trial and error issue :)
Thanks -Vincent
