I will retry with basic XE and then get back to you after the container restarts tonight. I tried to make the database name "xwiki" but it was already in use on my shared host, so it forced me to choose another name. Eventually, I think I will have to move off the shared hosting...

Shared hosting can be tricky. Logs are really necessary.
I would suggest trying with XE first to make sure the basic XE is working. This will avoid database specific issues (I think the main DB should be called 'xwiki' with XEM otherwise there might be some issues).

I am checking by pointing my browser to: mysite.com:8080 mysite.com:8080/xwiki mysite.com/xwiki
Specifying the port gives me a "can't connect" error, the last one just gives me a 404 (it's obviously being handled on port 80 by apache)
I do not think I have access to the Tomcat logs since it is a shared container - they do not show up anywhere that I can find on my filesystem through SSH.

I have successfully installed a local development copy of xwiki on Windows, but I'm having some trouble getting XEM installed on my shared linux server. I'm running on a shared Tomcat (5.027) container.
Following both the tutorial for XEM and for XE, I have done the following:
1) Since it is a shared hosting environment and java is enabled, I assume I do not have to manually install either java or MySQL. I have created a MySQL database with the name "xwikidb" through my hosting control panel with username "xwikidb." I do not have the ability to add full privileges to the user, but I was told this would not prevent basic installation of XEM.
2) Renamed the "xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-3.1-standard.war" file to xwiki.war and uploaded to my server. It exploded as expected when the server restarted to a subdirectory called "xwiki."
3) I downloaded the MySQL Java Connector and put mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar in my /xwiki/WEB-INF/lib folder
4) Modified the hibernate.cfg.xml file to uncomment the MySQL section and comment out the default. Changed the username and password fields to my information.
5) Checked to make sure "localhost" was defined in /etc/hosts
OK, this should be enough.
6) Now what? There's no .sh file in the WAR...What do I start? I have already waited for Tomcat to restart, but it doesn't appear that xwiki is running.
How are you checking? Is there an error message displayed when trying to access the application? Are there any errors in the tomcat logs?
Sure that I'm missing something obvious. Relative newbie to linux servers...
