Hello,
I setup a Tomcat server with a MySQL database and am trying to setup Xwiki
on it. I followed the administrator installation guide and ran into a
problem that I can't seem to find the solution to. Everything seemed to
work properly until I tried to import the
xwiki-enterprise-ui-mainwiki-all-6.4.1.xar. After the import was done, I
was shown a list of files that were installed as well as the ones that were
not installed. It seemed that none of the xml files were installed. Has
anyone ran across this issue before? I can still navigate across the wiki,
but, for instance, when I click on the admin's profile or preferences, no
text boxes or buttons of any kind appear. It pretty much shows just a blank
page.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

So, some pages were installed but not all and the import status said that no page was
installed?
BTW why didn’t you use the Distribution Wizard which should have appeared when you started
tomcat and entered an XWiki URL?

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the response!
The import status showed that some pages were installed. I cannot remember
what exactly these were because I'm not sure what all was contained in the
default wiki pages .xar file. What I do know is that every file that the
import status said was not installed was a .xml file. I do remember
checking the files that the import status showed were properly installed
and absolutely no .xml files were installed.
As to why I didn't use the distribution wizard: The distribution wizard,
when loaded the first time I went to the wiki, showed a message that said
it could not find the default wiki pages version 6.4.1. I'm not sure why it
said this because I just followed the administrator guide which included
the unpacking of the xwiki-enterprise-web-6.4.1.war that I downloaded. So I
googled this issue and saw that I could download the default pages and then
login as a super admin and import them.
Thanks again for the help! I really appreciate it!

All the pages located in the XAR file are XML files :) The import only import wiki pages
(i.e. XML files).
I have no clue why it fails. If you can reproduce with a clean install, I’ll suggest you
create a jira issue at http://jira.xwiki.org so that it gets fixed.

You must have some bad luck and maybe you tried the DW at a time when xwiki.org was down
and thus not answering from your XWiki instance.
In any case since you have a non functional instance at the moment, I’d suggest you try
again clean. You can do that simply by 1) stopping XWiki 2) deleting the full content of
the XWiki permanent directory (see permanentDirectory in your xwiki.properties file) and
3) restarting XWiki.
Let us know how it goes.
