[xwiki-users] Problem with a 1.8 RC1 install

Hello, Yesterday we tried to install a 1.8 RC1 on a serv to test some new features but we had some blocker issues : no users listed in the admin page, no groups listed in the admin page, not any document listed in the WhatsNew etc. We first thought that it was a JS issue, but a : #set ($sql = "where 1=1") #set ($list = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql)) {pre} $list {/pre} returned an empty list. Here is the description of the install : - We used a Debian Lenny 5.0 template (with Tomcat 6.0.18 & Java 1.6.0_12 pre-packaged) - We downloaded the .war file on http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/com/xpn/xwiki/products/xwiki-enterprise-web… - We installed Mysql with the debian package (5.0.51a-24 version) - We installed & configured the XE in UTF-8 - We used the standard hibernate conf (just added UTF-8 conf) - We kept the standard xwiki.cfg (+UTF8 elements) - We imported the xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.8-rc-1 xar (found on XWiki.org) - We tested with different mysql-java-connector (current version : 5.0.7) The install is available here (if you want to check it) http://testapplis.xwiki.com/ The Whats New page here : http://testapplis.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WhatsNew Have you got any idea of the problem ? Thanks, Thomas
