Hello,

Is it possible run the xwiki as a windows service?

Regards,

XWiki is just a web application that's supposed to run in a container. XWiki can't run as a service, but some containers can. This means that it's not easy to run the standalone package as a service, but you could install Tomcat, for example, configure it to run as a service, and then import XWiki into tomcat. A quick Google search led me to this: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
