JSPWiki install problem
Hi,
I need some help with the installation of JSPWiki on Tomcat5.5.
Tomcat is installed on a Debian (Etch) machine and I have a few
home-made Java applications already running on it.
Security manager is turned off.
When I just drop the war file in the webapps folder, I get the following
errors in the log file:
Dec 18, 2008 9:59:03 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: No jspwiki.propertyfile defined for this context, using default

etc, etc.
I also tried to deploy it from the Tomcat manager page with a
JSPWiki.xml property file file but i'm not sure what I have to put in
that file.
Why doesn't it just work, what magic is needed here ? :-(

Hein

Hein,
again see the README, I would take the Advanced Installation section :
Advanced Installation
---------------------
First, install a JSP engine and a web server. You can download Tomcat
from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/. This software was built
originally on top of Tomcat 5.5, but probably most other versions
work, too, and most other JSP containers.
*
After you've installed the engine and checked that it works, you just
make a subdirectory under $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/. For example, if you
want your application to be called 'MyWiki', just create a directory
called 'MyWiki', then extract all files from the war files into that
directory, preserving the directory structure.
Edit the WEB-INF/jspwiki.properties file to your liking. The only
thing you need to set is the directory where you want your wiki pages
to be stored. I recommend a directory that is regularly backed up.
Unzip the contents of jspwiki-corepages.zip into your newly created
directory. You can find the rest of the documentation in the
JSPWiki-doc.zip file.
(Re)start tomcat.
Point your browser at http://<where your Tomcat is installed>/MyWiki/.
You should see the Main Wiki page. See the next section if you want
to edit the pages =).

I also have my old (2.5.x) pages to move over as well, just built a vm
(with virtual box) and install a base am64 + sun java 1.6 + tomcat 5.5
machine to test a migration, I also have some of my plugins as well -
have to see if they work or not :)

Yeah, I'm the Debian JSPWiki package maintainer. One thing to be
careful about is that dropping a new release on top of an existing
Debian JSPWiki installation in /usr/share/jspwiki will break these
symlinks, which you probably want to restore, or not.
/usr/share/jspwiki/WEB-INF/jspwiki.properties
/usr/share/jspwiki/WEB-INF/jspwiki.tld
/usr/share/jspwiki/WEB-INF/web.xml
All point to the corresponding files in /etc/jspwiki.

Sounds good, Kalle.
you left me with some questions:
Is there an introduction of how the jspwiki package is ment to be
working with other Debian packages?
E.g.
- by default Debian installs gcj - not Sun java.
- by default tomcat5.5 has the security manager switched on
- ...

Depends. Sometimes I lag behind, sometimes I'm pretty close. In any
case, you can always take the same major release version (eg. any
2.8.x) and drop the files over the existing installation with very
little trouble (usually no trouble, but you never know when Janne

You might want to use the Debian package of 2.8.0 available in
contrib, even though it currently contains an annoying bug for clean
installations. After you've installed 2.8.0 you can simply get the
2.8.1 package and unzip it to /usr/share/jspwiki.
I'm probably uploading a 2.8.1 version to Debian during this weekend
which also fixes the current bugs.
To get around the default page creation bug, do the following before
installing the .deb:
mkdir -p /var/lib/jspwiki/default
touch /var/lib/jspwiki/default/Main.txt
And after installing run:
cd /var/lib/jspwiki
rm default/Main.txt
tar xzf /usr/share/doc/jspwiki/examples/wikipages.tar.gz default/en
cd default/en

I did not edit the WEB_INF/jspwiki.properties file (yet) because the

Re: JSPWiki install problem

Hein,
JSPWiki cannot be installed by just dropping a war file in tomcat's webapps
directory, create a directory there and unzip the war file
This is documented in the README file:
*2) After you've installed the engine and checked that it works, you just
make a subdirectory under $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/.
For example, if you want your application to be called 'wiki', just create
a directory
called 'wiki', then extract all files from the war file into that
directory, preserving the directory structure.
*
Regards,
Harry
