I do think you are doing a mega-mix! People run a lot of different combination of OS, application server, web server and databases. Our production servers run older versions than your, but I do think our installation could be an example. Here you have some links that were usefull for me more than two years ago... http://atriumkm.idisantiago.es/bin/ICT/InstallingTomcat I think I remember last two comments dated on 2014/08/04 09:22 and 2014/11/29 08:56 were the ones leading us to the configuration of our current Tomcat installation running two XWiki instances: a plain old XWiki Enterprise 2.4.30451 and a newer XWiki Enterprise 7.3 one. I'm now solving several issues with a brand new XWiki 9.2.2 on Tomcat 9.0.0.M17 and MySQL; in this case on a Mac OS X box. That's why I'm really interested in understanding your issue! Please, don't forget to read more than ten times the XWiki pages related with the installation on the container you have choosen and make comments and send question about their contents! > Thinkin I should start over .. > Cheers! > > -----Original Message----- > From: users [mailto:users-boun...@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Mortagne > Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2017 11:47 PM > To: XWiki Users > Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Stopping Xwiki-8.4.3/Tomcat-9.0 and integrating > with systemctl > > On Thu, Mar 9, 2017 at 12:11 AM, Douglas Landau <dougl...@westmarine.com> > wrote: > > > >>One more tip: you actually shouldn't run Tomcat as root, this could get > messy pretty fast. > > Thanks! > > > > - In fact I installed Tomcat and xwiki as root.
