[xwiki-users] No luck with xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-4.2 on windows 7
I have installed xwiki for testing on a windows 7 box using xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-4.2.exe. The installation is very simple, but I can't get to xwiki after starting the server. The default port is 8080 and just in case there was a conflict I changed it to 8084 (in the start bat file, it's now set JETTY_PORT=8084). Still no luck after restarting via the desktop icons. For example using firefox to http://localhost:8084/xwiki I get Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8084. It must be a common problem, but I don't find much on this topic. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/No-luck-with-xwiki-enterprise-installer-wi...

Not so amusingly, I just found a very similar thread here that I started in Nov 2012 the first time I wanted to try out xwiki. In that thread I said that while browsing to http://localhost:8080/xwiki didn't work, browsing to http://mypcname:8080/xwiki did. It doesn't now, nothing appears using either url style. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/No-luck-with-xwiki-enterprise-installer-wi...

Can you paste the logs from the command shell window that is used to start xwiki? Thanks -Vincent
Hi Vincent At the command line, if I "D:\XWiki Enterprise 4.2\runstart_xwiki.bat", it returns Error: Unable to access jarfile jetty/start.jar I wonder why? The file is certainly there. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/No-luck-with-xwiki-enterprise-installer-wi...

I have admin rights on this machine, btw. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/No-luck-with-xwiki-enterprise-installer-wi... Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

First there's no runstart_xwiki.bat, there's only start_xwiki.bat Can you show us your directory structure and from which directory start_xwiki.sh is started? Thanks -Vincent
I had same problem when I was testing it 1st time, all I did was reinstalled the software and it all worked fine. Regards, Hirji Sent from my iPhone On 6 Apr 2013, at 17:43, "Vincent Massol" <[email protected]> wrote:

Yeah, oops re that bat file name. D:\XWiki Enterprise 4.2>start_xwiki.bat 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I do have java installed, but it's not in the path. I thought the xwiki setup would handle this kind of detail, but I guess not. Do you think the path issue is at the root of this problem? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/No-luck-with-xwiki-enterprise-installer-wi...

yes Thanks -Vincent
Adding java to the path did the trick. I guess it would be worth adding a message about this to the start routine, if java is not found. Every time that I started xwiki via the provided shortcut, I'd just see the cmd window open and close in a blink. There was no time to read anything like a fail message, if the console provided one. And I thought that was normal for xwiki. Thanks for your help with this. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/No-luck-with-xwiki-enterprise-installer-wi...
