Hi,
It's been a while since I've installed XWiki from scratch, and last time it was
for Ubuntu 14 with 7.1.1. It looks like enough things have changed since then that I'm
doing something wrong. I'd appreciate any help in diagnosing the problem.
This time I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.1 and Tomcat 8. I'm installing from the
debian/Ubuntu xwiki-enterprise-tomcat8-pgsql package version 8.2.1, with Tomcat8 package
8.0.32-1ubuntu1.1. It's running (as before) via an AJP connector behind Apache2.
https://mysite/xwiki correctly redirects to https://mysite/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ so it
looks like something is happening, but I'm getting an empty page. The following are
the Catalina log entries (please excuse the length) from restarting tomcat onwards. My
experience has been that one always gets some warnings, but my guess is that one or more
of the following are resulting in pages failing to load.

You should try to stop tomcat fully and start it again. It seems you’re only stopping the
webapp and there are issues with xwiki cleanup when doing so.
Let us know if there are still errors.
Thanks

Visiting the page in my browser then gets a blank page, and there are no further entries
in the log. Can anyone advise what might be the next step in resolving things?
Thanks,
Bryn
