New subject: [xwiki-users] Create a new instance of Xwiki

28 Jul 2005

There are still several question which need to be answered but are not in this
documentation:

1a. Does this create a new database for the new XWiki?

1b. If so, where is this database created? or Is it necessary to manually create
a new database?

Following the instructions in the documentation without any additional work
results in the following error:

[code:xml]

type Exception report

Hi,

This is one way of create multiple wikis served from the same servlet 
engine.
However if you start having over 3 or 4 wikis, this will become a 
resource hog with many connections open to the database and multiple 
caches..
The solution is to use real virtual servers. See 
http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Doc/HowToSetupVirtualWikis
We could improve a little this documentation.

  Hi Cwiki users,

 I noticed the instructions for adding another space, unfortunately this isn't
 quite what I needed.

 Here are some instuctions for creating a new instance of Xwiki in case you'd
 like to keep two completly separate databases (i.e. searching one will not give
...
  results for the other). I wasn't quite sure where
to put this online.

 1 Create a new instance of Xwiki
 # Create a folder with the name of the new Xwiki (i.e. support) in the
 tomcat/webapps folder)
 # Extract the xwiki war file into this folder
 # In the webinf/hibernate.cfg.xml file
 * modify {code:xml} <property
 name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/xwiki</property> {code}
replacing
 xwiki with the name of the new database you wish to create
 # create a new database with the same name as in the line above
 # import the sample database located here
 [http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiDownload] into your new database
...

 All set! Go to http://localhost/your_wiki_here/bin/view/Main/WebHome to check it
...
  out.

 Caution, you may wish to modify the index.html file to point to your url just in
...
  case.
