[xwiki-users] Best solution for 3 xwikis

[Gaëtan GUYODO]

Hi,
I have to create 3 xwikis (on the same server).
I know I can use XWiki Entreprise Manager (to manage many wikis,
creation on-demand... but it's not my need) and I think there's another
solution, I just can't remember... Anyone can help me ?
What is the best solution for my 3 wikis : Manager ? or other solution ?
thanks,
Ga?tan

XWiki Manager is the best solution.

http://manager.xwiki.org/

As you'll see there you can also transform an installed XE into XWiki
Manager by installing the correct plugins and applications (and
configuring XE correctly).

Have fun

XWiki Manager is the best solution.

One other way to achieve this is to install 3 different instances of XWiki Enterprise, but that is
less efficient because you need 3 times the amount of memory.

Enterprise Manager is not really needed, as it only provides an interface for things you can already
do using the Enterprise version, so a simpler solution is to manually add the support for the 3
virtual wikis. See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Virtualization (a bit
outdated, but a good start).

Still, the best solution is to use Enterprise Manager, as it is a lot simpler.

Thanks, I'll update to XE 1.4.1 and add manager tool.
That seems to be the good solution!

I really recommend using XEM instead since this is the official way.

I think we should discontinue that page and move everything to XEM.

The alternative is to decide that we don't need XEM and move
everything back to XE. However I don't think it's a good idea since I
believe XEM will develop further in the future: more features, its own
skin and l&f, etc.

Best IMO is to remove the Virtualization page and instead redirect to
a page in manager.xwiki.org that explains it all.
