| 1 | The [[Distribution Wizard>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.distribution-wizard.WebHome]] does not open when XWiki is started, although the instance has just been installed or upgraded. | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | === Cause === | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The wizard records what it has already done in the ##jobs/status/3/distribution## [[sub-directory of the permanent directory>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.configuration.directories.permanent-directory.sub-directories.WebHome]]. An instance whose permanent directory was copied from another install therefore starts with the record of a run that is already finished, and the wizard has no reason to open. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | After an upgrade of the XWiki WAR, the wizard also stays closed until a user who has administration rights logs in. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | === Solution === | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Delete the ##status.xml.zip## file from that sub-directory, restart XWiki, and log in with a user who has administration rights. |
