Thanks but I don't plan on using Apache the only thing installed on my BSD VPS is diablo jdk , tomcat and xwiki. I followed the tutorial on how to install xwiki on FreeBSD on the dev page of xwiki. Now that being said, is tomcat a httpd server? If not then I'm guessing I have to install nginx and proxy it to tomcat. Also since xwiki is java based, I don't have to install pop? Unless I want to serve php? Also how well does PostgresSQL fair in large wikis On Dec 10, 2010 1:33 PM, "Paul Libbrecht" <[email protected]> wrote:

That's a tomcat question. As far as I know you did the right thing. Do restart tomcat and don't forget to be root (which is not really correct).
Also is there a benefit from using Nginx to proxy into Tomcat? If so how would one do that?
I don't know about Nginx but we generally keep Tomcat on a high port and keep an Apache httpd on port 80 with a simple proxy. That works very well. Then only Apache needs root access and the latter takes care of changing the user after the restart (which no servlet container I know does, it's a native thing).
Proxies can become a lot more tuned if using mod_rewrite (e.g. to guarantee some short URLs in a very very flexible way, allow https, ...).
