Hein, JSPWiki cannot be installed by just dropping a war file in tomcat's webapps directory, create a directory there and unzip the war file
This is documented in the README file: *2) After you've installed the engine and checked that it works, you just make a subdirectory under $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/. For example, if you want your application to be called 'wiki', just create a directory called 'wiki', then extract all files from the war file into that directory, preserving the directory structure. * Regards, Harry 2008/12/18 Hein <12...@vodafone.nl> > Hi, > > I need some help with the installation of JSPWiki on Tomcat5.5. > > Tomcat is installed on a Debian (Etch) machine and I have a few home-made > Java applications already running on it. > Security manager is turned off. > > When I just drop the war file in the webapps folder, I get the following > errors in the log file: > > Dec 18, 2008 9:59:03 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log > INFO: No jspwiki.propertyfile defined for this context, using default from > /WEB-INF/jspwiki.properties > Dec 18, 2008 9:59:03 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log > INFO: Loading cascading properties... > Dec 18, 2008 9:59:03 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log > INFO: No cascading properties defined for this context > Dec 18, 2008 9:59:05 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log > INFO: JSPWiki: Unable to load and setup properties from jspwiki.properties. > Failed to start; please check log files for better information. > Dec 18, 2008 9:59:05 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log > INFO: ERROR: Failed to create a Wiki engine: JSPWiki: Unable to load and > setup properties from jspwiki.properties.
