[xwiki-users] Unable to start XWiki
Dear Mailman, I want a standalone XWiki example in order to verify that it can provide my company's requirements before doing a full installation to our web and data servers I have downloaded the windows installer of 4.3 (2) to a Windows 7 machine with Java 7 installed and 1TB free storage I ran the installer and I have a start icon and a stop icon on the desktop When I double click the start icon, I see a command prompt for a fraction of a second before it disappears. Firefox and Chrome both report that they cannot connect to localhost:8080 Is there something fundamental that I have missed? I understood that this installation came with a small database built into it. -- *John Murphy **|* Technical Writer *|* Mobile: 0415324479 *|* |Telephone: 02 8999 3170 *|*john.murphy@ipscape.com.au*|*

* the start_xwiki.bat might need execution permissions (aka. Unlock when you right click on it and go to Properties) * you might need to lower you UAC from Windows Settings (User Account Control) * try starting the XWiki instance directly from where you installed it (don't use shortcut). You should run start_xwiki.bat * if none of the above work, open a command window (cmd) and go to the instalation directory and start XWiki from the cmd (you have to execute start_xwiki.bat). This will show you the exact error, without making the window disappear. Firefox and Chrome both report that they cannot connect to localhost:8080

Yes, the instalation comes with a bundled database (HSQLDB). You can't access the wiki because it is not actually started. PS: XWiki recommends the use of Java 6. Even if Java 7 might work, you could encounter issues when running XWiki on Java 7. Best regards, Sorin B.

Hi Sorin, Thank you for your speedy response. I ran CMD and started the bat file there. the message said 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I am running Java Standard Edition, should I go back to Version 6? Should I install an enterprise edition? Regards Murphy On 14 November 2012 11:23, Sorin Burjan <sorin.burjan@xwiki.com> wrote:
