I do have java installed, but it's not in the path. I thought the xwiki

Adding java to the path did the trick.
I guess it would be worth adding a message about this to the start routine,

Hi and thanks for the reply.

The Office Importer Application needs to be installed, as far as I can tell.
Next to it's name it says 8.3, and in the header it has "Version 8.4.3 is
installed as dependency". It does not have the blue Install button;
And a recommendation - make the 'provide enough memory for tomcat' statement
in the instructions a bit more explicit; possibly advise what I used,
512-1024. The out of the box tomcat memory settings are very low.
Generally the xwiki setup instructions are very good. Thank you.

Finally, success. Almost for certain the issue was lack of memory for tomcat.
With min 512 and max 1024 xwiki is running normally.
The part of this long thread that is not about tomcat memory, I'd guess, is
the fact that the hibernate instructions for mssql may be incomplete, and
that I couldn't

That's interesting...I just tried it again and at first it seemed that the

If I understand your question correctly, yes, after the xwiki site has been
configured by an admin, regular users can access the wiki directly in the
browser as long as they have an account in the wiki or integration has been
configured with your domain authentication.

Oh - my mistake. First, I didn't respond to what you had asked before, and
the answer is that yes the change you have made to the tomcat page would
have helped an uninformed experimenter like myself; ie a person with only

Thanks Thomas. So Jetty and Tomcat are both Java EE Servers, that explains
it.
Does it mean I should run the uninstaller for the xwiki exe? Probably. And

particularly meant for production use.

I would like input on which input syntax might be best to use. I am not
habituated to any syntax, only light exposure to mediawiki and wikis in
general. I would value a syntax which is simple and terse.
xwiki has gone out of it's way to support many input syntaxes. The safe
choice for portability
OK, thanks that's the info I was looking for. I kind of guessed that the
