    Description

      Debian stretch is the previous stable version of Debian. It is still used in some places. When I install xwiki-tomcat8-mariadb, the wiki is actually not usable because the application cannot connect to MariaDB.

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Open a fresh debian stretch machine. The easier is to use Vagrant to create a virtual machine and to provision it with a debian image, available on the "vagrant boxes" collector.
      2. Add a backport to be able to install tomcat8. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add

      deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main

      3. Install the apt-transport-https package

      sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

      4. Add the XWiki PGP key

      wget -q "https://maven.xwiki.org/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add -

      5. Add the XWiki repository

      sudo wget "https://maven.xwiki.org/stable/xwiki-stable.list" -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

      6. Update the debian packages

      sudo apt-get update

      7. Install XWiki with the debian packages

      sudo apt-get install xwiki-tomcat8-mariadb=12.6.2 xwiki-tomcat8-common=12.6.2 xwiki-mariadb-common=12.6.2 xwiki-common=12.6.2

      As a results, you get a running webapp, where each requests leads to an error page:

      hibernate.connection.driver_class 
      

      The configuration (hibernate.cfg.xml) looks good:

          <property name="hibernate.connection.username">xwiki</property>

      The database is indeed empty:
