Prerequisites & Installation Instructions
In order to transform an existing wiki into XEM you will need to:
- Install Application Manager plugin (Download) and application (Download).
- This mean downloading the plugin and putting it in WEB-INF/lib
- For the application use the Import Tool to import the XAR you have downloaded
- Install Wiki Manager plugin (Download) and application (Download).
- Same thing as before: download the plugin and put it in WEB-INF/lib and download the application and import the XAR.
- Same thing as before: download the plugin and put it in WEB-INF/lib and download the application and import the XAR.
- Edit your xwiki.cfg file and add the following entries to activate the plugins:xwiki.plugins=\
[...]
com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.wikimanager.WikiManagerPlugin,\
com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.applicationmanager.ApplicationManagerPlugin - [optional] Import XEM application xar. This just add some links, modify home page and add a main wiki default descriptor (since XEM 1.0M3).
- [optional] If your main wiki domain name does not start with "www" (or will not be accessed by IP or "localhost")
- if you imported XEM application, just go to the descriptor (http://host/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiServerXwiki) and modify the domain name (and add all needed aliases)
- if you did not imported XEM application, you will have to create a wiki server descriptor for it: create XWiki.XWikiServerXwiki page and add a XWiki.XWikiServerClass object in it with the proper domain name.
- Set your wiki as "virtual" to allow multiple wikis. For this edit your xwiki.cfg file and set the xwiki.virtual property to 1:xwiki.virtual=1
- In order for XEM to be able to create new wikis on demand, you will need to give all rights to your database user. For example for MySQL, execute:mysql -u root -e "grant all privileges on *.* to xwiki@127.0.0.1 identified by 'xwiki'"
