Install Wiki Pages

Version 2.2 by Vincent Massol on 2014/06/07

The final step is to fill your Wiki with initial content (i.e. wiki pages).

This job is done by the Distribution Wizard which automatically starts when you are browsing your new XWiki instance for the first time.

Information

The wiki comes configured with an "Admin" user (the password is admin in lowercase). You'll need that username/password to log in.

Alternatively you can skip the Distribution Wizard and finish this step by hand (this can be useful for example if you're offline and wish to install XWiki):

  • Create new pages by hand
  • Import the default Wiki that we are providing as a XAR file by using the Import feature

The default wiki is a fully configured wiki that you can use as a starting point for creating your own wiki content. It provides the following:

Warning

If you're upgrading an existing wiki using the manual Import feature, be careful that the XAR import operation will replace the content of the existing pages of your wiki with the content of the XAR (New pages that you have created will not be modified). As a consequence it's critical that you perform a backup first and read the upgrade nodes bellow carefully.

On the other hand, if you use the Distribution Wizard, it'll automatically perform a merge and prompt you for action in case there's a conflict it cannot resolve automatically. Thus using the Distribution Wizard is what we recommend.
