JBOSS WIKI INSTALLATION - HELP NEEDED

[dayal_78]

Hi,
I need help installing JBoss Wiki.
I tried probably 100 times installing it with different combinations of JBoss AS and JBoss portal; tried installing JBoss wiki from the beta binary; tried installing it by building it from source using maven, but I am not successful as yet.

If there is anyone out there who has successfully installed JBoss Wiki, can you please provide an up to date install instructions?

Direct links to whatever that needs to be downloaded (JBoss AS etc etc) that are pre-reqs for JBoss wiki etc etc would be of great help.

Thanks in advance...

As an addition,
I have tried installing JBoss wiki on the following:

1) JBoss Portal + JBoss AS 2.4-CR1
http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossportal/download/index.html

2) JBoss Portal + JBoss AS 2.2.1-SP2
http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossportal/download/index.html

3) Downloaded the JEMS installer from sourceforge and installed a 'portal' profile.

Again an upto date, install instructions(To-Do list) with url(s) would be of great help.

Thanks

Hi,

Just now, I did the following install....

1. Downloaded the JBOSS AS + Portal bundle -
jboss-portal-2.4.0-CR1 and installed it.

2. Downloaded EJB3 package -
JBOSS-EJB3-RC8-FD
and completed the install instructions

3. Downloaded the JBoss wiki source bundle -
jbosswiki-beta
and made the following changes to filedatasource.properties:

set 'pathToMedia = C:\TEMP'

set 'pathToAttachements = C:\TEMP'

After doing the above, I built wiki.ear using maven 1.0.2 by
1. running maven prepare-repo
2. maven wiki:localbuild

4. I then copied the generated wiki.ear file to the deploy directory and started JBOSS

5. When I access 'http://localhost:8080/wiki', the default portal page is getting displayed !!

Can someone shed somelight on this????

Thanks

The install instruction is available here http://labs.jboss.com/wiki/InstallingJBossWiki

Unfortunately beta is and old binary working only with JBoss Portal 2.0.1RC3.

Hold on before we prepare binary distro for 2.2 portal.

Cheers,

szimano,
Thanks for the response.
When do you think the next relase for JBoss wiki is going to be?
We are trying to deploy it in our company.

Thanks

Hi Tomek,
I tried installing portal 2.0.1 RC3 on AS 4.0.4.GA
but I couldn't get the portal to work (leave alone the wiki)

I also tried installing portal 2.0.1 RC3 on AS 4.0.3SP1 but again couldn't get the portal to work.

Is there a specific combination of JBoss AS + JBoss Portal that are supposed to work together??

It seems that I can't install the bundle that comes with AS+Portal because Wiki works only on portal 2.0.1RC3.

Is there anything I can do now to get the wiki up and running rather than waiting for a new release of the wiki??

Thanks

Well... if u use the very versions that are in the wiki page... it *should* work... but i can't guarantee that you'll be able to deploy portal... i had those problems... trying to guess what portal version to use with what as and ejb3 version.

I'd suggest you to wait... I'll provide the binaries in next 2-3 days.

Cheers,
Tomek

Tomek,
Thank you. I will wait for the binaries.
When you provide the binaries, if you can also put together an updated install guide that points to specific AS, Portal, EJB3 versions that are going to work with the new wiki binaries that would be of great help. Taking this further if the guide can explain from scratch (installing AS etc etc) it will ease a lot of headache.

Thanks again...

Tomek,
Finally I am able to maintain harmony between JBoss AS 4.0.3SP1 and Portal 2.0.1RC3 but..

When I copy the file wiki.ear to the server/all/deploy folder I am getting the following errors:
