We recommend that you import the [[provided default XAR>>xwiki:Main.Download]]. If you're upgrading from an existing installation your database should already contain the pages you had before.

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]].

84 +* A Blog
85 +* A Recent Changes page
86 +* The [[Panels Application>>extensions:Extension.Panels Application]]
87 +* Search
88 +* Administration page (Access rights, Group and users management, etc)

91 +**It comes configured with an "Admin" user (password is "admin" in lowercase). You'll need that username/password to log in once you've imported the default wiki.**

96 +If you're upgrading an existing wiki be careful that the XAR import operation will replace the content of the existing pages of your wiki with the content of the XAR (New pages that you have created will not be modified). As a consequence it's critical that you [[perform a backup>>platform:AdminGuide.Backup]] first and read the upgrade nodes bellow carefully.
