Re: [xwiki-users] remote installation problem with font display

2011-03-30 Thread Christopher Idryo
That sounds good - I'll try that. Still, any ideas about the font issue?
(Though, maybe after a couple local installs I'll feel confident enough to
skip the .jar and install it directly.)

 Hi, I'm trying to install XWiki in the following way: I have a headless

 at once.


 I'd suggest trying it on a local vm running in  Virtualbox/Parrallels on
 your macbook at first,and then just installing it under tomcat on the Centos
 box. Getting it running on a headless Ubuntu box took me about 2 hours the
 first time, but after I had gone through it about 5 times it only took me a
 few minutes for the final one before putting it into production. The steps
 of getting more familiar with the install routine on each time I went
 through it were well worth it.

[xwiki-users] remote installation problem with font display

2011-03-29 Thread Christopher Idryo
Hi, I'm trying to install XWiki in the following way: I have a headless
CentOS running on the cloud and a Macbook with SSH tunneling to the cloud
machine. Because I'm new to setting up XWiki (or any wiki), I thought I'd
try the Java installation first before attempting to set up all the pieces
at once.

From my terminal window on the Macbook, I enter
java -jar xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-2.7.1-standard.jar

and after a short wait, the install dialog box pops up in the Mac's X11
application.

The problem is that I can't read the font that's displayed. I'm attaching a
screen shot, but in case that doesn't come through, it looks like the font
is in some cursive or handwritten italic font, but only bits and pieces of
each letter are visible. Sometimes I can guess what's being displayed, but
mostly I can't read it at all. I've tried a trick I read about to increase
the number of colors output by X11, but that didn't do anything.

I suspect it's something with lacking a specific font, but I don't know
what. Any suggestions?
