Hi,
I am new to this WIKI system and would like to have it implemented on our network.
would you please be so kind to indicate the different steps you adopted to make it work.
starting by the different software that need to be downloaded and installed and finishing by the way it should be installed,
 
I tried to look through the net on different experiments several users had done.
I downloaded and installed:
- MySQL 5.0
- Geronimo 1.1.1
- Java 1.4
- samples of Blojsom and XWIKI databases
 
and tried to follow the setup steps described within the following link:

you might see according to the following screen snapshots:
 
 
 
but once I want to test the XWIKI system I get the following error message.
 
 
would you please help me overcome this obstacle and have this project work on my network.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation, and best regards.

I copy my answer to the xwiki-user mailing-list, which is the most appropriate place for such questions.

Can you let us know which version of xwiki you downloaded? You may consider using the 1.0 beta from there: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download

It includes a complete standalone intaller. Note that XWiki also contains a blog application. You can see it in action there: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/

In your case, the console displays "Could not create a DBCP pool": it means your XWiki instance cannot connect properly to the database. You should probably check that the MySQL account declared in the file $XWIKI_INSTALL/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml (properties "connection.username" and "connection.password") is correct. Sending the output of Jetty log file may help.

Cheers
