What is in your /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml ? Maybe it is not configured for mysql... Please find the configuration file hereunder (without the commented out parts). I think it is correct but maybe there's something I missed, like a typo or else. ?xml

did you download the mysql connector? Also make sure that you uncommented the mysql database in the hibernate xml file Yes. I didn't in the first place but the problem remained unchanged after I downloaded and put the mysql-connector-java-5.1.5.jar file in

What is the name of your database ? xwiki or xwikiDB, I ask that because by default it's xwiki and it's xwikiDB in your hibernate config. My database was named 'xwikiDB', which was the same name as the one in my hibernate config file. But maybe the database name is to be

Maybe you are in virtual mode: If your wiki is in virtual mode (xwiki.virtual=1 in xwiki.cfg) then the name of the main wiki is hardcoded to xwiki. It's a limitation of the multi wiki support. Yes! That's it :-) ___ users mailing list

I would say that a newcomer shouldn't look at platform. He should look at XE, XEM, Watch. Okay, let's say someone told you about xwiki to build your website, giving you some examples like Curriki. You are interested and want to see if it can fits your needs. You'll want to know how

The Curriki product doesn't exist yet. Right now Curriki is a specific project and not a general purpose product. Ok, replace Curriki by whatever xwiki-based website. What is missing that you'd like to see on the web site? If everything is already here and still so many

Great! Perhaps you would like to contribute the skin, too, when it is finalized? Yes of course, I am working on it within the XWiki Concerto project, so it is not for private use, but for the benefit of the community ;-) Also see

This is very valuable information, il should be posted on the xwiki.org :-) If you deploy XWiki as the ROOT app, you must also change in WEB-INF/web.xml the display-name parameter to the empty string, like: display-name/display-name To get rid of /view/, in xwiki.cfg write

... and since xwiki.org is a wiki, why don't you do it? I wanted to let the author post it, I wouldn't want someone to just copy-paste my work without my prior authorisation, and I would prefer to do it myself (for credits). I tend not to do to others what I wouldn't want to be done to

That would certainly increase public interest into XWiki. And beyond the profits that have been described before, it could also be a good test to see where the documentation is failing, so we could improve it. More users means both more feedback and more hands to complete and correct the
