Hello
I have an instance of XWIki and it got installed as an empty site. I want to restart and install the standard flavor.
On the machine I have removed the xwiki distribution, deleted the permanent directory and dropped the database and rebooted the machine.
I then restarted from what I thought was zero. However when I start tomcat again the empty Xwiki reappears. Its driving me mad. There must be a cache somewhere.
Anyone had a similar experience?
Thanks for your feedback
Hi, you need to remove xwiki’s permanent directory, see https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Configuration/#HConfiguringDirectories
Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
It wasnt the permanent directory as I recreated the directory /xwiki/data which is defined in the xwiki.properties file.
Using permanent directory [/xwiki/data]
I did solve this by removing the tomcat directory work/Catalina/localhost/xwiki/ .
I was then able to start up the normal installation . So it was tomcat and not XWiki cacheing the Empty site
Thanks for your help anyway
