On Ubuntu and other Debian based Linux distributions the easiest is usually to follow http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationViaAPT Le 20 juil. 2016 22:46, "Polydectus84" <[email protected]> a écrit :

I apologize for the vague topic description. I have been trying to install XWiki on a freshly installed Ubuntu server running 14.04 for a few days and am just getting pulled in all sorts of directions when it comes to installation and am just getting a little agitated.

I am relatively new to Ubuntu in general. I am just looking for a guide to install the newest version of XWiki Enterprise on Ubuntu Server 14.04 using what I believe would be a .WAR install. (I want to avoid the stand-alone installer since it is not recommended on production.)

All guides that I have found seem to breeze thru the installation process and jump right into "Getting Started using the software". I am still stuck on the actual installation and cannot seem to follow the guide without getting thrown off by a step that makes absolutely no sense.

If someone could please point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like Ubuntu changed the way to deal with java<version>-runtime-headless. Requesting java7-runtime-headless used to automatically install openjdk 7. I usually install Oracle JVM so I did not noticed it. Would be great if you could create an issue about that on http://jira.xwiki.org. Will have to bind better dependencies...

I just checked on a 14.04 server I have access too and indeed tomcat8 does not seems to be available there. Probably was put only in more recent versions of Ubutnu only. On Tue, Jul 26, 2016 at 2:18 PM, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> wrote:

According to your log your issue is not with XWiki but with tomcat. Maybe tomcat8 is not available in 14.04 or your have some more complex issue with tomcat. There is a tomcat7 based package of XWiki too.

Thanks, I also had problems installing xwiki deb package, here's what worked for me: Use Oracle Java (not OpenJDK): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer Install xwiki (using LTS & MySql) wget -q "http://maven.xwiki.org/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add - sudo wget "http://maven.xwiki.org/lts/xwiki-lts.list" -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ Other versions are: http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/xwiki-releases.list: all released versions including milestones and release candidates (beta) http://maven.xwiki.org/stable/xwiki-stable.list: all released versions excluding milestones and release candidates (stable) apt-get update sudo apt-get install xwiki-enterprise-tomcat7-mysql You will get this error: Setting up xwiki-enterprise-tomcat7-common (7.4.4) … * no JDK or JRE found – please set JAVA_HOME Fix it by adding the JAVA_HOME to tomcat and do also increase the memory allocated: nano /etc/default/tomcat7 JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" service tomcat7 restart Configure xwiki nano /etc/xwiki/xwiki.cfg xwiki.authentication.validationKey=AKEY xwiki.authentication.encryptionKey=ANOTHERKEY http://yourIPorDNS:8080/xwiki/ You should see the “Distribution Wizard” just follow the steps! I installed the “XWiki Enterprise Flavor – Main Wiki”.

Well, I managed to install XWiki using the Debian package installation, but the installation varied a bit.

Here is what worked for me:

Installed Ubuntu Server 16.04.1

wget -q "http://maven.xwiki.org/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add - sudo wget "http://maven.xwiki.org/lts/xwiki-lts.list" -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install default-jdk sudo apt-get install tomcat8 sudo service tomcat8 restart sudo apt install xwiki-enterprise-tomcat8-mysql sudo reboot

Only then was I able to initialize XWiki. I am so happy to finally get it installed! Still trying to learn the layout and get a navbar set up, like you have on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationViaAPT (Home, About, Projects, etc).
