I've been trying to get XWiki installed as the ROOT webapp so I can access it with localhost:8080 instead of localhost:8080/xwiki (referencing http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ShortURLs).

I had XWiki working properly first, following the original instructions (expanding the WAR to /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/xwiki).

Then I renamed xwiki to ROOT I created a ROOT.xml file in /usr/share/tomcat5.5//conf/Catalina/localhost as follows:

<Context path="/" docBase="/usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/ROOT" debug="0" privileged="false" allowLinking="true"> </Context>

and restarted Tomcat.

Now when I go to localhost:8080 I get "Connection Interrupted The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."

and get redirected to http://127.0.0.1:9080/xwiki/bin/Main/ThisWikiDoesNotExist

Am I missing something?

Can you try with <Context path="" instead of path="/"? -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Ok, I found out a little more. It works fine when I browse to localhost:8180 from the machine that's running XWiki. However, if I try it from another PC on the local network using 192.168.1.196:8180 I get the "Connection Interrupted" error. Do I have to bind something somewhere? If requested I can attach a (large) log file with the exception. Thanks again, Trevor

Yes. I also now see the "xwiki.virtual.redirect=http://127.0.0.1:9080..." line which corresponds to the error page I'm getting.

You should put it on a pastebin and mail just the link to it.

I'm guessing you're referring to an online repository of some kind? I haven't used one before. I also see a "xwiki.webapppath=" setting. Should I set that to "/"? (if the default is to use "xwiki"?) Trevor

Then you must add correct address alias entries for your wikis. Although, using IP addresses should always work, pointing to the main wiki. Thomas can provide further help with virtual wikis setup.

If you are redirected to what is configured in xwiki.virtual.redirec property it mean you access XWiki. Sounds like you did not properly configured you wikis descriptors (main wiki descriptor has to be configured also in virtual mode depending of the form of your domain name). As Sergiu said, accessing XWiki with the IP always goes to the main wiki by default. Make sure your wikis descriptors are properly configured with the corresponding domain/alias names. See http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ and http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/AccessWiki to better understand how XWiki decide which wiki to show based on the URL and the configuration.

As the comment above it says, you should not need to change it. But yes, you can use /  just to be sure. -- http://purl.org/net/sergiu _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

A couple of things I just came across; I searched the archives to see if this was a known issue, but didn't come up with anything. 1. If I have XEM (1.7.3) running as the ROOT application in Tomcat (webapps/ROOT), and a wiki named "test": the "test" wiki works with xwiki.virtual.usepath=0 at http://test.example.com:8180. But if xwiki.virtual.usepath=1 and I use http://example.com:8180/xwiki/wiki/test the page layout is messed up and it looks like bits of the wrong skin are applied (I get the doves in the header image, for example), and the login page also appears *within* the comments tab. http://example.com:8180/xwiki (the XEM) works fine, though. http://example.com:8180/wiki/test does not work either, it redirects to the XEM login page at http://example.com:8180/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin . If I change XEM to run as non-ROOT (webapps/xwiki), everything works fine with xwiki.virtual.usepath=1 and http://example.com:8180/xwiki/wiki/test (no doves in the header, grey sidebar instead of blue). I don't know if this is a bug, or if using virtual.usepath=1 does not work with XWiki as a ROOT Tomcat application. 2. With XWiki set up as a non-ROOT application (webapps/xwiki) and virtual.usepath=1, after restarting Tomcat, the first time I try to access http://example.com:8180/xwiki/wiki/test I am redirected to http://example.com:8180/xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin, the login page for XEM not the "test" wiki! If I retype the address to the wiki again, it works then. Trevor

I've got my xwiki at http://localhost/bin/ My ROOT.xml context 1) omits the docbase attribute (it was the cause of a persistent gripe from tomcat) 2) sets path to "" (that is the option that got it done actually) These were my guides: tomcat/webapps/docs/config/context.html tomcat/webapps/docs/config/host.html My first try, changing the xwiki.cfg option xwiki.webapppath=/ just caused me a lot of grief.
