I tried to install an instance of XWiki version 5.4.1 using Tomcat and MySQL on Windows 7. I ran the Windows installer for Tomcat 7.0.52. It created the service and I put in a couple users in tomcat-users.xml. The Tomcat default page shows in the browser OK, and I can run the manager web app. I think I followed the instructions to install XWiki with Tomcat (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat), expanding the file xwiki-enterprise-web-5.4.1.war into {tomcat}/webapps/xwiki and editing the config files therein. I ran the Windows installer for MySQL 5.6.16, and MySQL Connector for Java 5.1.29 (and copied the jar to /xwiki/WEB-INF/lib). I can run the MySQL Workbench 6.0 app, no errors appear. I think I followed the instructions to install XWiki to use MySQL (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationMySQL) When I try to navigate to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/ it (Firefox 27.0.1) hangs forever. When I read the logs at C:\shared\apache-tomcat-7.0.52\logs\catalina.2014-09-19.log, I get this: Feb 19, 2014 1:32:59 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDirectory INFO: Deploying web application directory C:\Shared\apache-tomcat-7.0.52\webapps\xwiki Feb 19, 2014 1:33:41 PM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol start INFO: Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-8080"] Feb 19, 2014 1:33:41 PM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol start INFO: Starting ProtocolHandler ["ajp-bio-8009"] Feb 19, 2014 1:33:41 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 43033 ms ... and nothing else. Previously in the logs I saw things like this: Feb 19, 2014 10:07:08 AM org.jboss.netty.channel.socket.nio.AbstractNioWorker WARNING: Unexpected exception in the selector loop. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space There is supposed to be a way to pass a -XX parameter, but the Tomcat instructions above say it doesn't work when it is a service. You are supposed to be able to use tomcat7w.exe, and I have set the memory in that application (on the Java tab) to Initial=512MB and Maximum memory pool=1024MB. I tried creating a setenv.bat and setting a CATALINA_OPTS environment variable and restarting the service, to no avail. Because the out-of-memory errors stopped, I'm wondering if it is some other problem. Firewall? What am I missing? Are there some other logs that will tell me what the problem is?
