That sounds good - I'll try that. Still, any ideas about the font issue? (Though, maybe after a couple local installs I'll feel confident enough to skip the .jar and install it directly.)

Hi, I'm trying to install XWiki in the following way: I have a headless CentOS running on the cloud and a Macbook with SSH tunneling to the cloud machine. Because I'm new to setting up XWiki (or any wiki), I thought I'd try the Java installation first before attempting to set up all the pieces at once.
I'd suggest trying it on a local vm running in Virtualbox/Parrallels on your macbook at first,and then just installing it under tomcat on the Centos box. Getting it running on a headless Ubuntu box took me about 2 hours the first time, but after I had gone through it about 5 times it only took me a few minutes for the final one before putting it into production. The steps of getting more familiar with the install routine on each time I went through it were well worth it.
I've only done the Tomcat deployment, but I would guess that there are several Centos "default" fonts that are being "badly" substituted on your macbook.
The .war deployment really isn't difficult, the only "interesting" bit that I had was the database configuration
