Re: [xwiki-users] XEM Installation Question
I installed basic XE instead of XEM, but there is no change - my web browser still does not bring up XWiki. I looked a bit into the http/tomcat connector issue - it seems like this is a likely culprit given that I don't even have access to the Tomcat logs. I assumed that my hosting provider would have installed mod_jk, but now I am not sure. I will check with them about this and making sure 8080 is forwarded through the firewall. If that fails to resolve the problem, I will re-ask with more info.

Re: [xwiki-users] XEM Installation Question
Shared hosting can be tricky. Logs are really necessary. I would suggest trying with XE first to make sure the basic XE is working. This will avoid database specific issues (I think the main DB should be called 'xwiki' with XEM otherwise there might be some issues).

Re: [xwiki-users] XEM Installation Question
I will retry with basic XE and then get back to you after the container restarts tonight. I tried to make the database name xwiki but it was already in use on my shared host, so it forced me to choose another name. Eventually, I think I will have to move off the shared hosting...
