Thank you so much for this guide.  I notice that it is a couple of years old.  Was the .deb package not available then?  Would it be possible to do an updated guide or suggest one.
Thank you again this really helped me in setting up my own server.

Are there any guides for using Apache2 with xwiki?

Thank you so much for your feedback and for taking the time to find and provide those links.  I am a complete noob so wading through the information has been daunting to put it mildly and as is often the case with new technical information I find I will only see the relevant info after the second or third reading.  Recognizing outdated information has been interesting as well.  All in all I am enjoying the ride and Xwiki is fantastic.

Hi Guillaume, thanks for the great tutorial! Brand new to xwiki and I tried the .deb install and it just wouldn't work (DigitalOcean), but following your steps worked great.
Can you point me to a tutorial (hopefully of equal quality) to run xwiki using https instead of http?
Thanks very much!

Hi !

I'm trying to install xwiki and im stuck with nginx .
I want to use a subdomain xwiki.mydomain.com

In your example , you redirect to mydomain.com/xwiki .

I want the wiki to be accessible ONLY at xwiki.mydomain.com ... how you do that ? (im a beginner in nginx :'( )

thx !

Good day Guillaume,

I tried to follow this easy to use step by step installation guide and I installed and configured as described. Unfortunately I'm facing this problem when I try to access my xwiki atmyvps:8080/xwiki/
o you think I missed somthing?
