Hi Vincent, let's fix the logging issue first. I already reviewed the AdminGuide before, it includes no information about changing a directory for the log file. I started the Tomcat-script from various directories, where the rights are sufficient, with no success. At the moment, it would be fine for me to switch logging of, is there any chance to do it that way? Best regards Pierre ________________________________

It tries to write to a file named xwiki.log in the directory from where tomcat is started. If you want to control the location of the log file, see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Logging > In respect to the import of the initial structure I attach a screenshot. I've just tested import the default XAR in an empty xwiki and it worked fine. I've tried both in XE 2.4-SNAPSHOT and in XE 2.3 (the version you're using). Can you give us the exact steps you've followed so that we can try to reproduce it?
