Hi, I'm trying to install XWiki on a FreeBSD 8.0 x64 server and so far I've managed to get all the necessary components installed.
It took me quite a bit of digging to get this far as most examples and guides are built for either Windows or Linux. Anyway, I took a look and adapted these resources: ############################################## http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat http://www.calebscreek.com/2010/07/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-6-on-freebsd-8-0/ http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download http://www.yoursoftcopy.com/xwiki-install/xwiki-install.html http://www.howtoforge.com/xwiki-tomcat-mysql-debian-etch http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/04/13/installing-web-server-in-freebsd-60-with-apache-22-mysql-50-and-php-5-part-3/ http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppserverJailsHOWTO http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html http://www.pubbs.net/200911/xwiki/44724-xwiki-users-could-not-initialize-main-xwiki-context.html http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2007-November/009312.html ############################################## Basically the log file claims this: 2010-08-07 08:30:17,253 [EvictionTimer-3] WARN eviction.EvictionTimerTask - Eviction task encountered an unexpected error java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.log4j.Category.isEnabledFor(Category.java:749) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.isTraceEnabled(Log4JLogger.java:333) at org.jboss.cache.eviction.EvictionTimerTask.processRegions(EvictionTimerTask.java:102) at org.jboss.cache.eviction.EvictionTimerTask.access$100(EvictionTimerTask.java:42) at org.jboss.cache.eviction.EvictionTimerTask$Task.run(EvictionTimerTask.java:135) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:441) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRunAndReset(FutureTask.java:317) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.runAndReset(FutureTask.java:150) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.access$101(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:98) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.runPeriodic(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:181) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:205) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:885) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:907) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) My prerequisites for building XWiki are these: Tomcat 6.0.29 Mysql-server 5.1.49 diablo-latte-freebsd7-amd64-1.6.0_07-b02.tar.bz2 tzupdater-1_3_29-2010f.zip mysql-connector-java-5.1.5 The error on the html page in the browser claims there's an issue with my hibernate.cfg.xml file which looks like this when all comments have been removed: wiki# cat hibernate.cfg.xml <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd";> <hibernate-configuration> <session-factory> <!-- Please refer to the installation guide on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation for configuring your database.

I guess the only 2 reasons could be an invalid hibernate.cfg.cml file or the incorrect connector in /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/ My configuration is most closely based around the howtoforge page specified earlier: http://www.howtoforge.com/xwiki-tomcat-mysql-debian-etch ??? Can anyone help me? Thanks!! Regards, Kaya _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
