Hopefully I haven't caused any work for anyone as I have found the solution to the problem. The instructions on the xwiki admin page may need an update/clarification.
The answer is to name the directory you expand the .war into with a .war extension as per; http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ExplodedDeployment I renamed the directory from; $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/xwiki To; $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/xwiki.war And hooray, http://myserver.mydomain:8080/xwiki is alive! Also I don't have a massive server.log and 85% processor usage on the server anymore either. I will add this to the FAQ on the xwiki site, might help someone..... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Sellers Sent: Friday, 11 January 2008 11:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [xwiki-users] Help deploying xwiki under jboss/mysql/linux Greetings fellow earthlings, I am hoping some generous soul can help me here, I am a thin-client app noob, but (IMHO) not a complete muppet. What I have is a brand new Linux (Ubuntu 6.06 server distro) server, Jboss 4.4.2.GA, mysql 5.0.22, xwiki 1.1.2, java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13. My goal is an xwiki based site for the service and support department of the company I work for. I have installed xwiki on my local PC using the stanalone distro, all good. Now I want to get a server running so I can start to show the interested parties how it might work and get some feedback on the thing. I have followed the instructions on the xwiki and jboss sites pretty faithfully (multiple times) and can't seem to get xwiki to deploy under jboss. I have set mysql user and priviledges, downloaded the connector, modified hibernate.cfg.xml blah, blah. I can see the jboss default pages (at http://myserver.mydomain:8080/) when I start the jboss server, but no xwiki at http://myserver.mydomain:8080/xwiki I get http 404. I haven't got to the stage of importing the default enterprise database yet. Can someone help by first suggesting where I should start looking. I have had a look in the server.log and boot.log but they all seem like gobbly-gook to me. I won't post here as the server log is huge, 5MB, but I can filter it to something sensible if only I knew what to look for. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, Thanks in advance, Dean Applications Engineer Rinstrum Pty.
