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.)

[xwiki-users] remote installation problem with font display
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? ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
