Hello everyone,
yesterday I tried to install xwiki on a new debian 13.4 virtual machine.
After accessing xwiki in the browser I see an immediately Error 500.
I see no error during installation.
I followed this guide:
Installation using Debian/Ubuntu (.DEB) packages (XWiki.org)
I tried
xwiki-tomcat11-mariadb and xwiki-tomcat10-mariadb
After switching from stable to lts, the installation works just fine.
After trying to figuring out what’s the problem is, I found this post. I looks pretty similar to the behaviour I am seeing.
15.9 on Debain 12.2 with xjetty package, crashes with Error 500 - Help / Discuss - XWiki Forum
A few weeks ago I installed stable xwiki-tomcat10-mariad (also an Debian 13.4 vm). This worked without any problems (xwiki version18.0.1)
So I guess it has to do something with the updated packages for 18.2?
Errors:
jakarta.servlet.ServletException: Failed to execute the action with name [view]
com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 11007 in 0: Failed to extract Entity Resource Reference from URL
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to locate wiki descriptor for alias
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke “java.net.URL.openStream()” because “url” is null
org.xwiki.wiki.manager.WikiManagerException: Failed to locate XWiki.XWikiServerClass document for wiki alias
Since I just started play around with xwiki, it’s not a big deal for me. I just wanted to let you know.
Best regards Christoph
