Hein, again see the README, I would take the Advanced Installation section :
Advanced Installation --------------------- First, install a JSP engine and a web server. You can download Tomcat from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/. This software was built originally on top of Tomcat 5.5, but probably most other versions work, too, and most other JSP containers. * 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 'MyWiki', just create a directory called 'MyWiki', then extract all files from the war files into that directory, preserving the directory structure. Edit the WEB-INF/jspwiki.properties file to your liking. The only thing you need to set is the directory where you want your wiki pages to be stored. I recommend a directory that is regularly backed up. Unzip the contents of jspwiki-corepages.zip into your newly created directory. You can find the rest of the documentation in the JSPWiki-doc.zip file. (Re)start tomcat. Point your browser at http://<where your Tomcat is installed>/MyWiki/. You should see the Main Wiki page. See the next section if you want to edit the pages =). * 2008/12/18 Hein <12...@vodafone.nl> > I did not edit the WEB_INF/jspwiki.properties file (yet) because the error > suggests that the properties cannot be found. > What else must be done after the steps show below? > > Hein > > > Janne Jalkanen wrote: > >> >> Did you also follow the rest of the instructions from README? >> >> /Janne >> >> On 19 Dec 2008, at 00:07, Hein wrote: >> >> Hello Harry, >>> >>> I just tried doing it the way you described but that didn't work, same >>> errors :-( >>> >>> Hein >>> >>> >>> Harry Metske wrote: >>> >>>> 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.
