Hi,
Not sure I'm using the right channel but here is the deal. We were looking for
a Tomcat-based Wiki and XWiki seemed to fit the bill (and in addition work with
PostgreSQL that we also use). Unfortunately, this product, although I'm sure
it's serious and works under certain strict contingencies, seems to have a very
blocking bug under some other circumstances, so we will have to dig a bit more
for something else, at least until your XWiki is more sturdy. But at least,
having put a couple hours on it without results, we will report on our test: we
installed version 3.1 (and then did the same test with version 3.0 with the
same outcome). We installed the .war on Tomcat as documented in your web pages
and configured it accordingly. In the end, that seemed to work in the sense
that when we asked for the default page in a browser, we got an answer and also
we saw that 41 tables were created in the database. As suggested, we then
downloaded the official .xar file (we tried version 3.0 and then version 2.7
also) and uploaded it in the Import page. Then when we clicked on the link of
the filename at the lower-left, the upper-right displayed: Archive
xwiki-enterprise-wiki-3.0.xarDescription My packageVersion 1.0.0Author
XWikiLicence LGPLselect none, all
as expected, BUT THE GREY INNER FRAME THAT SHOULD DISPLAY A LIST OF CONTENT IN
THE XAR IS... EMPTY, YES TOTALLY EMPTY. So clicking on the Import button will
yield a message about selecting something but there's nothing to select. We
tested the same in Firefox, IE and Chrome. There are no error message in HTML
or JavaScript, nor anything special in any of the Tomcat logs or PostgreSQL
log. The .xar files are valid in the sense that they can be fully decompressed
by WinZip/WinRAR. Our hypothesis is that some XWiki code (probably the
compression library) silently traps an exception and is so far incompatible
with either Tomcat version 7 or Java version 6 or Windows 7 or Intel 64-bit.
Sorry for you and good luck. A. R.
