I knew that, Thomas. I just said that some may click the wrong button... If you click "Cancel", there's not way you get the DW again, right? IMO, after a restart, if the DB is still empty, it would be nice to have Distribution Wizard showing up again. 2013/7/5 Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]>

Hi,
If I understand correctly, this should happen (= no DW, no data into
DB)
only if the first visitor of the wiki clicked on "Cancel" at wiki installation through DW, right? I would prefer not to vote for any solution that ask for a xwiki.cfg modification! IMO, having a new user to edit this file is like a regression in the ease of use.
Why don't we force showing the Distribution Wizard at XWiki's startup ( && only if DB is empty)? If one wants to install a xar manually, he still can click on cancel, and import the .xar with superadmin, but let's face it : it will be a very low amount of users.
Again you do get the DW the first time, it always worked like this. Please guys try things before stating unexisting issues.
ok cool I didn't know that. Sorry about sending a false proposal. So I guess it means there's already a check for empty DB since when the DB is not empty the DW only appears when you're logged in with a user with admin rights.
So now what remains how is to understand Pablo's problem and the issue Danilo said he faced when installing XWiki too.
Pablo was using the wrong login for standard Admin user ("admin" instead of "Admin").
Danilo can you explain precisely what you did and what problem you
faced? Because if you follow the normal procedure here's what happens:
* you install XWiki * you start XWiki * the distribution wizard appears * you follow the wizard * the wizard installs all the pages including an admin user (Admin/admin) * when the wizard exists you can log in using Admin/admin
Now, if you cancel or skip the distribution wizard you'll have an empty wiki and no admin user installed.

Hello Vincent,
As new user, I faced this problem... I have installed the empty wiki and it wasn't very easy to understand how to use the super admin. There was not a easy documentation about the super admin account, so that I put an advice in the xwiki documentation. But I guess that the solution 1 is enough to solve the problem if you know that has a super admin and how to turn on its.
See you.

I really don't understand what you are talking about here.
When the database is empty you get Distribution Wizard which install you default UI.
Only if you're logged in!
And when you install the WAR your DB is empty and there's no user so you have to edit xwiki.cfg and set the superadmin user.
That's the problem everyone is having now in 5.x when they install using the WAR.
Thanks -Vincent

I think It's almost impossible for a new user to understand by themselves that they have to edit xwik.cfg's superadmin password and restart their wiki.
