[xwiki-users] Installation query (Windows)
I am running the Windows executable installer. I am using 64-bit Windows 7. I have admin privileges, and I ran the installer as Administrator. The installer stops after successfully unpacking the files. The "gears" icon is highlighted. I can click the "Next" button (it is not disabled) but nothing happens -- the wizard doesn't update. If I hit "Finish", the window closes. It does not add the start/stop items to my Windows menu. If I execute the batch file manually, it seems to work (DOS window opens, displays progress text, does not display any error messages), but going to localhost:8080 gets me an error page, implying the server is not running. If I execute the "stop" batch, it correctly terminates the program (closing the DOS window). I do not believe I have any server running on 8080. (If I did, I'd expect to see it, not the "host not found" error page.) Thank you for any help. -- ======================= Personal Blog: http://www.xanga.com/lizard_sf Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/lizard_sf MrLizard: Gaming and Geekery: http://www.mrlizard.com
Hi Lizard, Are you sure you are not running Apache Httpd (in a WAMP or XAMPP bundle) or any other server listening on that port? You can check if 8080 is in use by running this program http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx What version of XWiki Enterprise have you downloaded? Let us know what you find out after this check. Good luck! On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 6:29 PM, Lizard Lizard <[email protected]> wrote:

Nothing is using 8080 explicitly, according to that program; a utility I use called LinkMan (a bookmark manager) is listening on "http" (no port number given), but I would be surprised if it's usurping the role of a web server. I'm using the most recent version, DL'ed a few days ago. File name is xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-3.1.exe .
ok, so i am running the same installation and by running start_xwiki.bat the server starts and the wiki loads in the browser. so i suppose there's something wrong in your setup. First I would need a screenshot of your Command Prompt window that appears after running the .bat file and the error that your browser shows when trying to access the wiki. There's 2 causes for your problem I could now think of: - the Windows firewall could be blocking the 8080 port, so try checking if it has any rules set regarding that - the XWiki installation is placed somewhere it doesn't have enough rights to write some files it needs (like "C:\Program Files\..."). In this case you should either run the .bat file with Administrator rights or move the XWiki installation somewhere else (like D:\XWiki or something like that) On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 6:49 PM, Lizard Lizard <[email protected]> wrote:
