Hallooooooo Well i kinda reached the point of another stupid question: after a click around-round on http://wikihost:8080/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences and turning eny authentication option to yes i dont know the default administration accont.
is there some default admin account (beside that superadmin)? or should i have done that BEFORE clicking around? When i compare all the .war packaged software to what i am used from php based things (wiki, forums, cms) the most foolproof procedure is this: - upload the files (*.php, .war) to appfolder - connect to the page (http://host/appfolder) - when nothing was installed yet, the installer starts - it asks for the database connection parameters - it asks for an admin account (username, emails, password) - it then installs (creates db, tables, admin account, default files) - in xwiki case even an option to import the default pages from that .xar could be added - done. a link to the startpage - now one can login with the admin account and start configuration - if i dont configure the application at this point no damage can be done by anonmyous users. so the default settings are normally a bit strict. but well a wiki may be more open than a cms. the goal should be to not have to manually edit config files, security params whatsoever. in bamboo (or was it teamcity? both java.war based installations) the location of the log file is configured during the installtion steps. everything crucial to the application. the side effect is: no one ever reads instructions. cause its straight forward and alwys the same. no stupid questions either ;-D in my opnion we java people should learn from the comfort those php guys came up with. thanks for listening :) regards ossi Vincent Massol schrieb: > Hi ossi, > > On Sep 21, 2007, at 12:48 AM, ossi petz wrote: > >> Hallo >> >> I did read those pages.
