Thanks. Sorry to continue with the dumb questions, but that said,: - I see that I don't have the ability to run Tomcat as myself, having installed it as root and not changed any permissions. I spose that most people create a new, local, user "xwiki" or "tomcat_user", and install and run the software as that user? - Do most people run Tomcat or something else? - Do most people install Xwiki from WAR or using the standalone?

Usually what most people do is put Apache on Nginx in front of Tomcat on port 80 and keep Tomcat on port 8080. > > Thx again. > Doug > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Stopping-Xwiki-8-4-3-Tomcat-9-0-and- > integrating-with-systemctl-tp7602905p7602907.html > Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > The information contained in this transmission may contain West Marine > proprietary, confidential and/or privileged > > information.
