[xwiki-users] having hard-time with wiki manager
Hi all friends, i am currently using serveral xwiki instances (xwiki-enterprise 1.3). I need to try xwiki-enterprise-manager to be able to create virtual wiki sites. I am having a really hard time with installation. I have used xwiki-enterprise-manager-web-1.1.war<http://forge.objectweb.org/project/download.php?group_id=170&file_id=10262> , tomcat 5 as a container, mysql as a database. I processed exactly same steps as i did several times installing xwiki enterprise. I have put war file into tomcat5 webapps directory, started/stoped tomcat in order to unpack it, configured hibernate..xml to mysql database. I have installed mysql connector to lib directory. I have copied custom log4j file to classes directory. I have created a wiki mysql user with full rights to create databases , created a wiki database. When i will point on http://mydomain:8080/xwiki according to xwiki.log it will fill mysql database xwiki and then i will get "page cannot be displayed message" (internet explorer message). I found no error in xwiki.log, no error nowhere else. When i will point it again at that adress http://mydomain:8080/xwiki still nothing -page cannot be displayed and zero messages in log. I spent 4 hours and that is enought time for me to ask for a help. Thanks in advance! David
Hi David,
i am currently using serveral xwiki instances (xwiki-enterprise 1.3).
I need to try xwiki-enterprise-manager to be able to create virtual wiki sites. I am having a really hard time with installation.
I have used xwiki-enterprise-manager-web-1.1.war<http://forge.objectweb.org/project/download.php?group_id=170&file_id=10262> , tomcat 5 as a container, mysql as a database. I processed exactly same steps as i did several times installing xwiki enterprise.
I have put war file into tomcat5 webapps directory, started/stoped tomcat in order to unpack it, configured hibernate..xml to mysql database. I have installed mysql connector to lib directory. I have copied custom log4j file to classes directory. I have created a wiki mysql user with full rights to create databases , created a wiki database.
When i will point on http://mydomain:8080/xwiki according to xwiki.log it will fill mysql database xwiki and then i will get "page cannot be displayed message" (internet explorer message). I found no error in xwiki.log, no error nowhere else. When i will point it again at that adress http://mydomain:8080/xwiki still nothing -page cannot be displayed and zero messages in log.
Have you checked this page : http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation ? Specifically, I see no mentions of plugin in the setup you tried -> did you configure them properly ? Hope this helps, Guillaume
Hi, no i was thinking that enterprise-manager is bundled. It means, that i will install it and trought that i will be able to create virtual wikies on demand. Is it so? If not - what do i exactly need to have installed ... actually maybe i am just looking at that page too long, but it is pretty messy ... I was thinking that Install XEM from a distribution part on wiki is what i need to do and Convert an existing XWiki Enterprise instance part is there in case i have wiki enterprise installed and i want to install a manager plugin into existing instance in order to transfer it to enterprise-manager. Thanks for your time and help. D On Sun, Apr 6, 2008 at 12:27 AM, Guillaume Lerouge <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi again,
no i was thinking that enterprise-manager is bundled. It means, that i will install it and trought that i will be able to create virtual wikies on demand. Is it so?
Alas I'm not a XEM installation expert, but yes, this is what XEM offers : you can create additional virtual wikis on demand.
If not - what do i exactly need to have installed ... actually maybe i am just looking at that page too long, but it is pretty messy ... I was thinking that Install XEM from a distribution part on wiki is what i need to do and Convert an existing XWiki Enterprise instance part is there in case i have wiki enterprise installed and i want to install a manager plugin into existing instance in order to transfer it to enterprise-manager.
Right now I think you'd be better off starting from scratch by following the instructions for setting up a new XEM as provided here : http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation , and then make an export of the pages you need in your current XE and import them again in the XE of your choice that you will have created from your brand new XEM. I know it is possible to turn a XE into a XEM, but this will at least imply the need to activate the relevant plugins. Hopefully some people from the XEM team will be able to provide you with more complete answers within a few days. Guillaume
Thanks for all, but yes i have actually followed steps in XEM and it is not working as i mentioned and writed first mail :( I am simply forgeting about something which is not mentioned in tutorial on xwiki.org. David. On Sun, Apr 6, 2008 at 12:40 AM, Guillaume Lerouge <[email protected]> wrote:

What exactly is your domain ? By default in virtual mode XWiki Platform need to have a descriptor for the wiki you want to access except if you domain name starts with "www" or if you acces using direct IP address. I think your problem is that you are trying to access your main wiki with "something.ext" domain. To be able to access you main wiki with "something.ext" you have to add this alias in its descriptor : /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiServerXwiki It is explained in http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HConvertanex... but i will add a more warning box for the two ways to install XEM because this XWiki platform domain management is not very clear. I think that we should maybe add an option in xwiki.cfg to indicate if wrong domain goes to main wiki in place of showing an error.
I spent 4 hours and that is enought time for me to ask for a help.
Thanks in advance!
