Well the issue could be that the server is behind a
firewall that does not get outside internet access. If the UI installer of the DW contacts
xwiki.org(http://xwiki.org) like you are saying, then that explains why it will not find
the extension. I have to import them manually then.
XWiki works find behind proxies :) You just need to configure XWiki for that, see:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HRunningXW…
I'm gonna try a clean instance by following your
directions. I'm using a tomcat on a windows machine so there isn't a
/var/local/xwiki where my Xwiki permanent directory is located. I'm assuming that its
/tomcat/temp/xwiki. There were only 2 files in here but i deleted the directory anyways.
If you haven’t set any permanent dir then you have a WARNING in your logs saying it’s
using the temporary directory and that you need to set it to a proper place that has not
risk of being deleted! :)
If i run into more issues I'll shoot you another
message with helpful screenshots.
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the response!
The import status showed that some pages were installed. I cannot remember what exactly
these were because I'm not sure what all was contained in the default wiki pages .xar
file. What I do know is that every file that the import status said was not installed was
a .xml file. I do remember checking the files that the import status showed were properly
installed and absolutely no .xml files were installed.
All the pages located in the XAR file are XML files :) The import only import wiki pages
(i.e. XML files).
I have no clue why it fails. If you can reproduce with a clean install, I’ll suggest you
create a jira issue at http://jira.xwiki.org so that it gets fixed.
As to why I didn't use the distribution
wizard: The distribution wizard, when loaded the first time I went to the wiki, showed a
message that said it could not find the default wiki pages version 6.4.1. I'm not sure
why it said this because I just followed the administrator guide which included the
unpacking of the xwiki-enterprise-web-6.4.1.war that I downloaded. So I googled this issue
and saw that I could download the default pages and then login as a super admin and import
them.
You must have some bad luck and maybe you tried the DW at a time when
xwiki.org(http://xwiki.org) was down and thus not answering from your XWiki instance.
In any case since you have a non functional instance at the moment, I’d suggest you try
again clean. You can do that simply by 1) stopping XWiki 2) deleting the full content of
the XWiki permanent directory (see permanentDirectory in your xwiki.properties file) and
3) restarting XWiki.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks

So, some pages were installed but not all and the import status said that no page was
installed?
BTW why didn’t you use the Distribution Wizard which should have appeared when you
started tomcat and entered an XWiki URL?
See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationWAR#HConclu…
