Someday, I will not be clueless... I have successfully installed a local development copy of xwiki on Windows, but I'm having some trouble getting XEM installed on my shared linux server. I'm running on a shared Tomcat (5.027) container. Following both the tutorial for XEM and for XE, I have done the following: 1) Since it is a shared hosting environment and java is enabled, I assume I do not have to manually install either java or MySQL. I have created a MySQL database with the name "xwikidb" through my hosting control panel with username "xwikidb." I do not have the ability to add full privileges to the user, but I was told this would not prevent basic installation of XEM. 2) Renamed the "xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-3.1-standard.war" file to xwiki.war and uploaded to my server. It exploded as expected when the server restarted to a subdirectory called "xwiki." 3) I downloaded the MySQL Java Connector and put mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar in my /xwiki/WEB-INF/lib folder 4) Modified the hibernate.cfg.xml file to uncomment the MySQL section and comment out the default. Changed the username and password fields to my information. 5) Checked to make sure "localhost" was defined in /etc/hosts

6) Now what? There's no .sh file in the WAR...What do I start? I have already waited for Tomcat to restart, but it doesn't appear that xwiki is running.

Sure that I'm missing something obvious. Relative newbie to linux servers...

I am checking by pointing my browser to: mysite.com:8080 mysite.com:8080/xwiki mysite.com/xwiki Specifying the port gives me a  "can't connect" error, the last one just gives me a 404 (it's obviously being handled on port 80 by apache) I do not think I have access to the Tomcat logs since it is a shared container - they do not show up anywhere that I can find on my filesystem through SSH. aaron On Mon, Jul 18, 2011 at 1:24 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu <sergiu(a)xwiki.com> wrote: _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
