8 8  XWiki is a Java-based wiki and runs on a Servlet Container such as Tomcat, Jetty, JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere, etc. It also uses a relational database to store its content. It can run on almost any database (HSQL, MySQL, etc) but XWiki and the database need to be setup correctly.
9 -
12 +<p/>
10 10  There are 2 solutions when installing XWiki:
11 11  
12 -* Use the [Standalone distribution>xwiki:Main.Download] which already packages a Servlet Container (Jetty) and a database (HSQL). This is the recommended option for first time XWiki users and for users who wish to quickly try out XWiki.
13 -* Use the [WAR distribution>xwiki:Main.Download] and configure both your container and your database to work with it.
14 -
15 -If you're instead upgrading an existing XWiki install check the [Upgrade instructions>#HUpgradinganXWikiInstallation] below.

38 -1.1 Installing the Standalone distribution
40 +== Installing the Standalone distribution ==
39 39  
40 40  This is by far the easiest way to install XWiki. We are offering 3 packaging for ease of installation:
43 +
41 41  * A Windows exe. Simply execute it and follow the instructions. Do not close the DOS Windows that shows up. This is the XWiki server running, instead point your browser to http://www.localhost:8080/.
42 42  * A generic Installer that works on all platforms. It requires Java to be installed on your system. Simply double-click on it and follow the instructions.
43 -* A zip version. Unzip it in any <tt>\[XWIKIHOME\]</tt> directory of your choice.
46 +* A zip version. Unzip it in any <tt>[[XWIKIHOME]]</tt> directory of your choice.
47 +<p/>
48 +The Windows installer creates shortcuts to start and stop XWiki. If you've used the zip file or generic Installer, go to the directory where you've installed XWiki (//[[XWIKIHOME]]//) and run //start_xwiki.bat// in Windows or //start_xwiki.sh// on Unix. To stop it, run the //stop_xwiki.bat// script on Windows and //stop_xwiki.sh// on Unix.
49 +<p/>
50 +Once XWiki is started point your browser to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and the go to the [[User's Guide>>enterprise:UserGuide.WebHome]] to learn how to use XWiki. To change the port, edit the start script and replace 8080 by the number you want.

79 79  
80 80  * Install your favorite RDBMS
... ... @@ -82,142 +82,132 @@
82 82  * Create a user with all privileges on that xwiki database
83 83  * Copy your RDBMS Java drivers to the XWiki webapp's <tt>WEB-INF/lib</tt> directory
84 84  * Configure XWiki to use the created database. This involves modifying the <tt>WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml</tt> file as is described in the tutorials for each database below. Also make sure that your <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt> file has an entry that points to your <tt>WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml</tt> file (<tt>xwiki.store.hibernate.path=/WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml</tt>) as otherwise your settings won't be used.
85 -
86 86  * (A more scalable and J2EE-conformant tactic is to use the servlet container to manage your data source. You modify the web app as little as possible... hopefully one day Xwiki will allow you to override hibernate.cfg.xml without needing to change the app itself.
87 87  ** Do not add your JDBC library to the web app. Install it to the container classpath instead, like to <tt>$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib</tt>.
88 88  ** Do not set user, url, etc., nor connection.provider_class in <tt>hibernate.cfg.xml</tt>. The critical settings are <tt>connection.datasource</tt> (with JNDI name like "java:/comp/env/jdbc/test") and the dialect class for your DB vendor. (You should leave the provider_class unset, since Xwiki's implementation doesn't handle container-managed data sources).

104 -At this stage you have finished configuration XWiki. If you start your database and container and point your browser to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/ you'll have a working, albeit minimal, wiki (without any page loaded). The next step is either to create new pages by hand or import the default Wiki that we are providing as a [XAR file>xwiki:Main.Download], by using the [Import feature>AdminGuide.ImportExport].

Click on the "Import Portlet Category" icon, you should now see XWiki in the list. You can now add the Portlet in your desktop page though the "Add Application" icon in the desktop dock.
