Hi Paul, as I've been mostly missing last month, I'm checking all related JSPWiki mail, and I was wondering what kind of problems did you had performing a clean deploy of JSPWiki. It's probably too late to help, but at least we could document clearlier how to proceed in case of problems for upcoming users.
The pre-Install.jsp step shouldn't be more difficult than performing a normal deploy of a war file, through usual means. As long as you have enough permissions on your server/machine to do that, everything should go fine. And if it doesn't, tomcat's logs (or whatever server you're using) should point out what is going wrong. There no need for anything else. This obviously changes as soon as you have limited access to your server/machine, but also in that case JSPWiki logs should point to whatever is happening.. best regards, juan pablo On Fri, Oct 6, 2017 at 4:56 AM, Paul Uszak <paul.us...@gmail.com> wrote: > Further to recent "complexity" discussions, what is the protocol for > installing JSPWiki via the Tomcat manager gui please? > > I followed the simple installation guide but it fails at step 3.
