If you are talking about the default database, then it's HSQLDB. You can compare the two methods (hsqldb vs mysql) to make your own opinion, but I advise you to use mysql for production environment. If you choose to use mysql, don't forget to download the mysql-java connector and to move it into WEB-INF/lib directory in xwiki. Guillaume 2011/8/2 Dale Amon <[email protected]>

Hello Dale,
About your installation, it's easier to tell you how to install it properly, than trying to understand what's in wrong here. What you have to do, after cleaning your xwiki installation, is: 1. Unzip the war package in tomcat webapps, you will have tomcat6/webapps/xwiki/<content_of_.war> 2. Move mysql connector in tomcat6/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/ 3. Configure hibernate.cfg.xml, which is in WEB-INF directory. Then use the tomcat stratup script in tomcat6/bin to start the wiki (could be tomcat.sh). You should access it with http://wiki.myhost.mydomain:8080/xwiki
Maybe tomcat will not found your java path, then you can modify the tomcat startup script to add JAVA_HOME variable, pointing to you jdk directory (a lot of how to show how to do this).
I hope you will be able to run it properly.
I think I am getting close. The various instructions I had found just sent me on a merry chase and following your instructions solved most of the problems.
Before I go the next step... For the other set up instructions I had set up mysql DB. I notice there is a built in set up mentioned in the hibernate.cfg.xml file. Is there any good reason to *not* use the default? Would I gain or lose anything by using the default vs going with mysql (Other than that I am fairly familiar with msyql).
