Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

1. Install the Application Manager plugin and application (optional).
2. Install the Wiki Manager plugin.
3. Install the current application going to the Import section in your wiki's Administration and importing the application's downloaded XAR file.

   If you already have an XWiki.XWikiServerClass class document make sure not to overwrite it at import time unless it contains exactly the same properties. Otherwise you could get a conflict in the descriptors of already existing wikis.

4. [Only if you have a version older than 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
5. Create a wiki server descriptor for the main wiki: create an XWiki.XWikiServerXwiki page and add an XWiki.XWikiServerClass object in it with the proper domain name. To know more about how to set up the domain name, see the Access a wiki documentation page.
6. 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
7. 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 in a console:
   mysql -u root -e "grant all privileges on *.* to xwiki@127.0.0.1 identified by 'xwiki'"
