Hello Dale, About your installation, it's easier to tell you how to install it properly, than trying to understand what's in wrong here. What you have to do, after cleaning your xwiki installation, is: 1. Unzip the war package in tomcat webapps, you will have tomcat6/webapps/xwiki/<content_of_.war> 2. Move mysql connector in tomcat6/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/ 3. Configure hibernate.cfg.xml, which is in WEB-INF directory. Then use the tomcat stratup script in tomcat6/bin to start the wiki (could be tomcat.sh). You should access it with http://wiki.myhost.mydomain:8080/xwiki
Maybe tomcat will not found your java path, then you can modify the tomcat startup script to add JAVA_HOME variable, pointing to you jdk directory (a lot of how to show how to do this). I hope you will be able to run it properly.
