Hi,

Just installed Tomcat + Xwiki using link below, but it does not tell me
to install MySQL? Its telling me to install Nginx, should I be doing
this?

http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat#H
InstallationSteps

This is what I have done so far...

Windows 2008 server.
Created folder in c:\Tomcat_Home (copied files from Zip)
Created folder Xwiki C:\Tomcat_Home\webapps\xwiki (copied files from War
file)

What's Next.. to get my xwiki going?
Install Mysql?

Regards,
Hirji

Thank you for helping me out here.

Xwiki will be in production with large files.

15000 Pages... that's a lot of pages... ours will be much less then
that.
So Tomcat sounds good, but dot sure what you mean by filesystem
attachments? How does that work or can that be done at later stage with
Tomcat + MySQL?

Hirji

Hi,

At the moment the safest way to go is Tomcat + MySQL. If you go with
Tomcat, make sure you set it to use UTF8 encoding, since the default
configuration of Tomcat is not UTF8.
The  standalone jetty+hsqldb is not good in production/large wikis
because it uses an in memory hsqldb database, meaning that all your
database is loaded at startup into your RAM memory.

Sorin B.
