Still struggling with this several hours later. I have xwiki + tomcat + mysql working perfectly at last in a practice VM. Thought I've done verything exactly the same on the "real" machine. But each time I get in this Distribution Wizard loop where it can’t get off step 1, the admin user. I finally clicked "later" and get a blank Main page, with only "Notice" and "The requested page could not be found". Seems like nothing is making it into the database. I've dropped the xwiki database and recreated it and granted privileges again. What am overlooking? Thanks -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Landau Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2017 2:27 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: [xwiki-users] Distribution wizard loop Greets, I'm getting a loop in the distribution wizard. Can't get past step 1. (Admin user). It is not password length. But it is not telling me why. I tried dropping the xwiki database and re-initializing. But I fall into this loop again. Does anybody know/remember why this happens? Thanks Doug The information contained in this transmission may contain West Marine proprietary, confidential and/or privileged information.
