Open with notepad the hosts file located at
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
You will see a line like this:
::1 localhost
So by 'localhost', Windows Vista understands the IPv6 address.
Try to add, before that line, this one:
127.0.0.1 localhost
If you have the UAC (User Account Control) enabled, you might
experience some problems on saving the changes, so try to open notepad
with admin rights (In C:\Windows\ right click on notepad.exe and
select "Run as administrator").
After this modification, the http://localhost:8080 should work fine.
In Internet Explorer, don't forget to specify the protocol (the http:// part).

Thanks everyone! I tried all your suggestions and the
one that sort-of
worked was "http://127.0.0.1:8080". (The other urls just gave the same
error page.)
The funny thing is that 127.0.0.1 didn't give me the xwiki page, it gave
me the page of *another* wiki that I'm simultaneously evaluating (also
on port 8080). My bad! No wonder XWiki wasn't running. I uninstalled
the other wiki and now the XWiki page comes up just fine.
Again, thanks a bunch!

When you get http://localhost.com you just forgot
to enter http://
this is a nasty behavior of Windows or IE (I am not sure).
If everything else fails you can either:
edit the hosts file (somwhere in /Windows/System32/..) and add
localhost.com 127.0.0.1
or just use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

Hi all,
I installed XWiki using the standalone install on my Vista64 machine
and it looks like the XWiki server starts up fine (using the
start_xwiki.bat batch file). However when I try to access
http://localhost:8080 with my browser, I keep getting errors as if
there
is no web server or wiki running at all. I accepted all the defaults
when installing except that I installed it under "C:\XWiki
Enterprise"
and I ran the installer as administrator. (I'm not sure if I need
Java
5. I have Java 6, Update 10.)
The error I'm getting in my browser (Firefox 3.0.1) is "Page Load
Error"
Network Timeout
The server at www.localhost.com is taking too long to respond.
Why does it say www.localhost.com? Make sure the address is just
http://localhost:8080/, without www or com.
The requested site did not respond to a
connection request and the
browser has stopped waiting for a reply.
* Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary
outage? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's
network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?
Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
* Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or
Internet provider for assistance.
Has anyone had this kind of error before or have ideas on what I'm
missing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
