Hello Vincent,

In respect to the startup logging issue: All tomcat5-subdirectories have root:tomcat

tomcat directly in the xwiki directory (/etc/init.d/tomcat5 start), but it didn't help
too. Unfortunately I have no idea, in which directory the jvm wants to write. If I could
set it to a fix location (i.e. /var/log/xwiki), I probably could fix it. I attached the
excerpt from the tomcat logfile.
It tries to write to a file named xwiki.log in the directory from where tomcat is
started.
If you want to control the location of the log file, see
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Logging
In respect to the import of the initial structure I
attach a screenshot.
I've just tested import the default XAR in an empty xwiki and it worked fine. I've
tried both in XE 2.4-SNAPSHOT and in XE 2.3 (the version you're using).
Can you give us the exact steps you've followed so that we can try to reproduce it?
Thanks

PS: Please use the mailing list to reply
I can provide ssh or web access - in case it saves
time.
Thank you very much for your personal investigation and support. Hopefully I may support
you later.
Best regards

Hello xwiki users,
In the past (some years ago) I was using the "first timer" version of
xwiki only, this was fine for development.
Now I need to run xwiki on a more professional environment, the base is
CentOS 5.5 (current and most recent version), including tomcat 5.5 and
mysql 5. Tomcat starts as service and during this startup logging claims
not to be able to create / access xwiki.log.
You need to give permission to the user who starts tomcat to write to the location where
the log file is.
When the xwiki application starts, everything
looks nice, I even can
change the content, but I cannot sucessfully import the default jar
(uploadig is fine).
I guess you meant XAR.
What version of XE and what error do you get?
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
let's fix the logging issue first. I already reviewed the AdminGuide before, it
includes no information about changing a directory for the log file.
I started the Tomcat-script from various directories, where the rights are sufficient,
with no success.
At the moment, it would be fine for me to switch logging of, is there any chance to do it
that way?
Best regards
Pierre

This is a standard log4j config file. You can simply not define the file appender.

Hello Vincent,
yes, now it is more clear, pretty cool approach to update the documentation immediately,
really cool!
I'm currently travelling by train, so I will check later tonight and will come back to
xwiki-users.
Thanks a lot, best regards
Pierre
