I'm trying to build my first wiki with JSPWiki 2.6.2. I wonder whether anyone might want to clarify a few points.

1) The README that came with the .zip file says simply to put JSPWiki.war into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps. However, the more detailed explanation at

http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.4/wiki/InstallingJSPWikiStepByStep

says that you can put JSPWiki.war "anywhere, EXCEPT in the webapps folder of your Tomcat home". Which is correct? Or better?


2) If I put JSPWiki.war into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps and access Install.jsp,
then an admin account seems to get created with user id {0} and password {1}. What do the curly-brace expressions mean? I can't figure them out.


3) If I do as

http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.4/wiki/InstallingJSPWikiStepByStep

says and put JSPWiki.war's contents somewhere else than $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, then how do I tell Tomcat where to look for the wiki? The document seems to presuppose there is a folder like

/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/conf/Catalina/localhost

where one is supposed to put a property file called something like myfirstwiki.xml (where <myfirstwiki<> is the name of a wiki.) But my Tomcat 6.0.16 does not have a directory like that:
