Re: [xwiki-users] HTTP 500 - war installation with Jetty and HSQLDB

Hi all, I'm new with xwiki and need help before I go crazy here. I just tried to install the 'proper' .war installation after a being happy with the xwiki standalone installation. The main reason to switch is not performance (it'll be a small wiki), but the fact that I can't seem to run it as a service and it stopped running after not being logged on for a couple of days. Back to topic... I chose what seemed like the easiest path to me from the manual install documentation: Jetty (9.3.3) + HSQLDB (2.3.3) + xwiki (7.2) on Windows server 2008 R2 (don't have a choice of using something else there) I think my problem is an utter lack of knowledge of how to configure jetty+hsqldb. The good news is that I get to the xwiki initialization screen when I access hostname:8080/xwiki/ Bad news is that it throws a http 500 error once it's done initializing, see the log below. Here is what I did: I literally wet by the documentation and I suspect that I'm missing the part where I define the hsqldb setup (db location and connection): - extracted jetty in a folder - extracted the xwiki 7.2 .war file into the webapps subfolder in jetty - copied the hsqldb.jar file in the WEB-INF/lib subfolder in xwiki - uncommented the HSQLDB part in the hibernate.cfg.xml - set the directory to environment.permanentDirectory="E:/Data/Wiki/data/" in xwiki.properties; I used unix-like path even though I'm on windows. Using \ instead of / did not work either

I did not set up a database, user, etc for hsqldb, is that my problem? The documentation made it sound like this is not necessary. I would really appreciate any input because I started over again a few times already and am lost.

Cheers Sebastian
