New subject: [xwiki-users] Problem with XWikiClasses not Creating New Class in FAQ Tutorial

29 Jul 2009

      Hi There,

I'm a newbie to XWiki and am getting frustrated by my first attempts to 
learn my way into the system.  I'm a developer, particularly interested 
in the capabilities of building applications around custom page 
layouts.  Therefore I started in on the FAQ Tutorial (but hitting a dead 
end there, I also tried the Todo Tutorial with the same results). 

The problem seems to be that when I use the XWikiClasses "Wizard" to 
define a new class, nothing useful happens.  In particular, though I get 
no visible error reports, I also don't seem to get a new class created.  
After clicking "Create this Class" I get the edit screen shown in the 
tutorials, and make the change (or not) to the $defaultWeb binding.  
When I click "Save and View" I don't get what the tutorials say I should 
get; instead I get a formatted view of the text I was just editing.  If 
I selected the Edit-->Class option on that page, I get a page that tells 
me there is no Class associated with the page (and sure enough no new 
class appears in the Class list).

Note that I have tried this on fresh installs based on the 
xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-1.9.2.exe and the 
xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-2.0-milestone-1.exe downloads (and 
have even tried following the import intructions for the ClassWizard.xar 
<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/DevGuide/FAQTutorial/ClassWizard.xar>, 
though the pages seemed to be there from the start.

This seems like such a basic problem that I must be doing something 
wrong, or there must be an obvious fix, but I searched the mailing list 
archives and didn't see anything.  Here's hoping...
