Hello, I installed xwiki 5.4.2 from scractch (because the upgrade from 5.4.1 didn't work well) 

I use the .WAR on tomcat server and postgres database. The Wizard to install the UI extension aren't launch on first boot. Are there a way to manuelly launch?

And worst the Admin/admin account doesn't work! (Invalid credentials) 

Am I alone? 

Thxs. Pascal B

I remove status.xml the distribution wizard doesn't launch.

I remove status.xml AND delete and recreate my database... the distribution wizard launch... By the way, I have some encoding problems on tag and page:

If i use "bac à sable" in a tag. The tag display like this: avec "bac àsable".  If I create a new page "MaCatégorie" /bin/edit/Sandbox/MaCatégorie?template=&parent=Sandbox.WebHome&title=MaCatégorie In title I have: "MaCatégorie" (then I correct the title) If I create a page child of "MaCatégorie" I obtain: "MaCatégorie » MaPage" and worst the search tools doesn't found my page "Ma caté*" Your xwiki cloud doesn't have this problem. Which xwiki version do you use? Thxs De : Pascal BASTIEN À : "vincent(a)massol.net" ; XWiki Users Envoyé le : Objet : Re: [xwiki-users] Authentication and wizard problem on 5.4.2 Sure! first boot. Are there a way to manuelly launch? in that dir the DW has been marked as having been executed for 5.4.2. Deleting the [datadir]/jobs/status/distribution/status.xml should work. credentials) XWiki.Admin page. Fortunely for xwiki :-) Thxs: your quick answers help me a lot (I think I modified my datadir path: I put it on another directory..). I will check my database. Admin account is created by the distribution wizard then? I keep you in touch tomorrow ... because my remote access ... doesn't work ever! NB: the status.xml file is documented somewhere?

Thxs I confirm: I stop tomcat, delete status.xml and relaunch tomcat: distribution wizard doesn't launch anymore with xwik 5.4.2 NB: status.xml is automaticaly recreated anyway... ________________________________ De : panyasan À : users(a)xwiki.org Envoyé le : Objet : Re: [xwiki-users] Authentication and wizard problem on 5.4.2 I might have hit a similar problem. I have left a note on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/DistributionWizard#Commen… but I am not sure it will be read there: "Using version 5.4.2 from Debian packages. Thanks for this guide, but it is not clear how to get from step "You will be prompted to insert credentials for the Administrator, which are Admin/admin." to step "After the instalation is complete, you can click on the Continue button to proceed to the next step." (It would be easier to refer to the sections if they had numbers...). After logging in with Admin/admin, I had to go back to the distribution wizard manually, like so: - use the browser back /history button to navigate to the ../distribution/... link. - click on "INSTALL" or "DETAILS". There will be an error message. - Navigate back and forth until the "XWiki Enterprise - UI - Main wiki" extension is displayed as "installed" and the "CONTINUE" button is shown. Any other action leaves you stuck in an incompletely installed wiki with no way of finishing the setup. The recommended solution to re-run the distribution wizard (see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/Why+does+the+Distribution+Wizard+fa…) did not work to get back to the wizard, at least not for me. I am sure this is a bug. I could reproduce it at least three times." I also am experiencing a lot of untranslated message keys, and the wiki extension is not working. Is there a way this can be fixed? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Authentication-and-wizard-problem-on-5-4-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I removed status.xml AND reconnect with Admin/admin: the distribution wizard doesn't launch (Admin is superuser of xwiki). But it doesn't matter (for me) because when I wipe my database the solution working.

Anyways thxs for encoding problem to : your FAQ works. I modify tomcat connectors and hibernate file to acces on my postgres. This solution working very well. Thxs again.
