custom installation. We have upgraded to Velocity 1.5 Beta 2 in XWiki

PBCAK (Problem Between Chair And Keyboard). I missed clearing WEB-INF lib before un-jaring b5. But, I already knew that mattered and why, so better instructions probably would not have helped. How I can remember all the other bits with hibernate.cfg.xml, xwiki.cfg, PostgreSql, Tomcat, Java, Linux, etc., etc., and blow this one... -Tom

Hi, Please see the "Postgres Install" page of www.xwiki.org. I mention this problem in the comment of this page. Hope it helps. On 3/8/07, Thomas Arthur Oehser <[email protected]> wrote:

Next problem - probably also my stupidity, but I seem to be stuck on it-

When I do a clean unwar and launch, letting xwiki create the postgres tables, which seems to work find, and go into the "Administration" pages, there are no input controls on the main global XwikiPreferences tab. When I go into the other tabs, there _are_ controls, which seem to operate normally- including the 'space preferences' controls- it is just the global preferences where the controls (drop downs, input fields) are missing. Importing the Xar also _fails_ on this one file- it gets an error on one Xwiki.Preferences- but imports everything else correctly. Messing with roles doesn't help, dropping and re-creating the xwiki database doesn't help. The only error in logs is:

19:25:11,125 ERROR TP-Processor2 http://toms.net/xwiki/bin/lock/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?ajax=1&language=en SimpleLog4JLogSystem:logVelocityMessage:154 - Left side ($objuser.getProperty("usertype").value) of '==' operation has null value. If a reference, it may not be in the context. Operation not possible. [line 10, column 66] 19:25:11,130 ERROR TP-Processor2 http://toms.net/xwiki/bin/lock/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?ajax=1&language=en SimpleLog4JLogSystem:logVelocityMessage:154 - Left side ($tdoc.realLanguage) of '!=' operation has null value. Operation not possible. [line 31, column 59]

Logging in as superadmin doesn't help.

The xar import gives:

import_listoferrorsfiles

* XWiki.XWikiPreferences

but no other info...

One other behaviour- after the import, the _space_ prefs also loses its controls.

???

Hi Tom, Could you please create a JIRA issue for this? Thanks -Vincent On Mar 8, 2007, at 2:14 AM, Thomas Arthur Oehser wrote:

XWiki.sendMessage() is sending an illegal argument to HELO, and my very correct Exim4 server is rejecting it when trying to send the registration validation email.

The Exception is: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 10005 in 10: Could not login to mail server 127.0.0.1 port 25 error code 501 (501 Syntactically invalid HELO argument(s)

The HELO is: "HELO XWiki version 1.0-beta-5.2310"

This is actually illegal according to SMTP specs, it must be a <domain>.

Note, this is NOT the "from" address, it is just the SMTP HELO.

XWiki.sendMessage() has:

if ((login == null) || login.equals("")) login = "XWiki version " + getVersion();

I think it should be:

InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName().

or settable in XWiki.cfg to the domain you want.

In all cases (never login), which, for registration, is not there anyway.
