Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

Complete installation

• Install Application Manager plugin and application.
• Install Wiki Manager plugin and Extension.Wiki Manager Application.
  If you already have a XWiki.XWikiServerClass class document make sure not to overwrite it unless it contains exactly the same properties. Otherwise you could get conflict with already existing wikis descriptors.
• [before 3.3] 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
• Create a wiki server descriptor for the main wiki: 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 Wiki Manager 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'"
