Hi Sorin, Thank you for your speedy response. I ran CMD and started the bat file there. the message said 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I am running Java Standard Edition, should I go back to Version 6? Should I install an enterprise edition? Regards Murphy On 14 November 2012 11:23, Sorin Burjan <[email protected]> wrote:
Hello Murphy,
There are several causes which can cause this behavior. I have listed them below:

Dear Mailman,
I want a standalone XWiki example in order to verify that it can provide my company's requirements before doing a full installation to our web and data servers I have downloaded the windows installer of 4.3 (2) to a Windows 7 machine with Java 7 installed and 1TB free storage I ran the installer and I have a start icon and a stop icon on the desktop When I double click the start icon, I see a command prompt for a fraction of a second before it disappears.
* the start_xwiki.bat might need execution permissions (aka. Unlock when you right click on it and go to Properties) * you might need to lower you UAC from Windows Settings (User Account Control) * try starting the XWiki instance directly from where you installed it (don't use shortcut). You should run start_xwiki.bat * if none of the above work, open a command window (cmd) and go to the instalation directory and start XWiki from the cmd (you have to execute start_xwiki.bat). This will show you the exact error, without making the window disappear.
Firefox and Chrome both report that they cannot connect to localhost:8080
Is there something fundamental that I have missed? I understood that this installation came with a small database built into it.
Yes, the instalation comes with a bundled database (HSQLDB). You can't access the wiki because it is not actually started.
PS: XWiki recommends the use of Java 6. Even if Java 7 might work, you could encounter issues when running XWiki on Java 7.
Best regards, Sorin B.
