These instructions cover WebSphere V6.1; other versions may differ.
Install the XWiki application
- Start the application server if it isn't running:
$WAS_HOME/bin/startServer.sh server1
- Start the console. The default URLs are:
- Expand the Applications menu and click on "Install New Application"
- Fill in the following:
- Click "Next"; at this point if your WAR file is on a different machine from the server it will be copied over.
- Fill in each screen and click "Next" for each of them:
- Step 1: You may want to modify the application name
- Step 2: Nothing to do
- Step 3: The jdbc/XWikiDS is not used by XWiki, but you still need to fill it out. Simply click "Browse..." under Target Resource JNDI Name, choose the "Default Datasource" and click "Apply"
- Step 4: Nothing to do
- Step 5: Click "Finish"
- A screen with the results is displayed next. At this point the changes have not been written to the file system. Click on the "Save" button to finish the installation step.
- WebSphere v6.1 does not have the PNG MIME type configured by default, so you need to do so. If you do not follow this step, you'll get a NullPointerException at com.xpn.xwiki.web.SkinAction.isJavascriptMimeType.
- In the Console, expand "Environment" and select "Virtual Hosts"
- Click on the default_host link (or whatever host you installed XWiki onto)
- Click on the "MIME types" link
- Click "New" to add a new MIME type
- Fill out the form this way:
- MIME Type: image/png
- Extensions: PNG png
- Click "OK", save the configuration and restart the server
