did you download the mysql connector? Also make sure that you uncommented the mysql database in the hibernate xml file ________________________________ From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org on behalf of Karim-Pierre Maalej Sent: Tue 11/13/2007 1:52 PM To: users(a)xwiki.org Subject: [xwiki-users] Error 500: Could not initialize main XWiki context Hi, I am currently trying to install XWiki on a linux machine (i486, ubuntu 7.10, java 6, mysql 5, tomcat 5.5, firefox) but I am faced to an error at the first run (see exception trace below). I have checked that the database is indeed running, that the login/password are accepted when logging manually, that the mysql java connector library is there (it wasn't there first, but I put it at the right place in /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib and the problem remains), that the configuration file says 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the connection.url field (as suggested in a previous similar problem found in the archives of this list)... I feel like I have exhausted all the solutions I could find online or figure out by myself today. So if any of you has an idea about what is wrong and where... your help will be very welcome :-) Thanks.

Yes. I didn't in the first place but the problem remained unchanged after I downloaded and put the mysql-connector-java-5.1.5.jar file in /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib

What is the name of your database ? "xwiki" or "xwikiDB", I ask that because by default it's xwiki and it's xwikiDB in your hibernate config. 2007/11/13, Karim-Pierre Maalej <maalej(a)enst.fr>fr>: -- Thomas Mortagne

Maybe you are in virtual mode: If your wiki is in "virtual" mode (xwiki.virtual=1 in xwiki.cfg) then the name of the main wiki is hardcoded to "xwiki". It's a limitation of the multi wiki support. If you don't need more than one wiki, non virtual mode use what you have in hibernate config file. 2007/11/19, Karim-Pierre Maalej <maalej(a)enst.fr>fr>: -- Thomas Mortagne
