. I'm sure I've installed the Xwiki war incorrectly, but can anyone point me in the right direction - where have I gone wrong? I'm deploying on CentOS 5 using the default Tomcat installation which comes with that OS. The only thing I've changed is the Hibernate configuration to reflect a Postgre database (which is set up). Thanks in advance.

The owner is varying from distribution to distribution...sometimes it's tomcat55:nogroup (debian+ubuntu) or if you install tomcat from source, whatever you have defined... But Jean-Vincent is right, that could be an issue too.

I would try to remove tomcat and install it from source or try it (in a virtualbox) with Debian Etch... Sorry lacking in better ideas...
