Re: [xwiki-users] Configuring XWiki as ROOT webapp

A couple of things I just came across; I searched the archives to see if this was a known issue, but didn't come up with anything. 1. If I have XEM (1.7.3) running as the ROOT application in Tomcat (webapps/ROOT), and a wiki named "test": the "test" wiki works with xwiki.virtual.usepath=0 at http://test.example.com:8180. But if xwiki.virtual.usepath=1 and I use http://example.com:8180/xwiki/wiki/test the page layout is messed up and it looks like bits of the wrong skin are applied (I get the doves in the header image, for example), and the login page also appears *within* the comments tab. http://example.com:8180/xwiki (the XEM) works fine, though. http://example.com:8180/wiki/test does not work either, it redirects to the XEM login page at http://example.com:8180/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin . If I change XEM to run as non-ROOT (webapps/xwiki), everything works fine with xwiki.virtual.usepath=1 and http://example.com:8180/xwiki/wiki/test (no doves in the header, grey sidebar instead of blue). I don't know if this is a bug, or if using virtual.usepath=1 does not work with XWiki as a ROOT Tomcat application.

2. With XWiki set up as a non-ROOT application (webapps/xwiki) and virtual.usepath=1, after restarting Tomcat, the first time I try to access http://example.com:8180/xwiki/wiki/test I am redirected to http://example.com:8180/xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin, the login page for XEM not the "test" wiki! If I retype the address to the wiki again, it works then.
