Broken login-link?
by dsrg 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

I just installed xwiki 1.0-beta-6.2657 on Ubuntu 6.10 using the standalone installer (no changes to any configurations or such) and everything works fine, EXCEPT: The "Login"-link in the top right corner does not work, I get: HTTP ERROR: 404 /bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin Not Found RequestURI=/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin If I add "/xwiki" to the start of the URL it sort of works, I can access the login page, but can only log in with the Admin account. (Yes, I have created a normal user account as well.) It seems to me that the first "/xwiki" part of the URL is missing, it's there in all other links but not this one. BTW, same thing occurs with the "logout"-link, and if I add "/xwiki" it works. Any help is greatly appreciated! Kind regards, /Anders -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Broken-login-link--tf3510319.html#a9805192 Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Idea] Jboss cache instead of oscache and jboss integration
by Manuel Duran Aguete 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hi all, First sorry for posting this in the site without previous discussion in the list, in future ideas section. In our department, we use jboss server as primary application server product, a jboss server ships jboss cache as cache solution, and hiberbate of course. We have extended xwkicache and we have now a jboss cache implementation, due a high workload we have not tested it. Are any issues doing this to pay atention? What about usign jboss hibernate session factory? Regards.

Automatic creation of XWIKI schema?
by Brian J. Sayatovic 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

I can't get XWiki to start because my database has no tables in it. It complains that the XWIKI schema doesn't exist. I understand some people fall back to using a *.sql script to create their schema and tables, but that XWiki -- through Hibernate -- should be able to automatically create the tables it needs. I've looked in my xwiki.cfg and found that the following is set to non-zero: xwiki.store.hibernate.updateschema=1 Is that all there should be to it? I know Hibernate also supports properties to automatically create the schema, but I can't figure out how I would set that for Hibernate within XWiki: hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create-drop I'm running under Tomcat 5.5 on Windows XP with Apache Derby in Embedded mode. I can connect to my DB using SQuirreL SQL and confirm that even the XWIKI schema isn't being created. I can manually create it ('create schema XWIKI;') and then the XWiki errors turn into tables not existing rather than schema not existing. I've tried to turn on debugging for com.xpn.xwiki.store in my manually created xwiki/WEb-INF/classes/logging.properties (as per the TomCat documentation), but I can't see any output getting logged (logging in TomCat was already a challenge for me, so that's just making this XWiki problem harder to solve). Any ideas? Regards, Brian.

Slow performance on certain pages after upgrade to beta5
by Thomas Kliethermes 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hi all, We tried to upgrade our production server to beta5 over the weekend, but we noticed much slower response time on the main page. Previous to upgrade, the mainpage came up in less than a second, but with Beta 5 (and now Beta 6), it takes 8-12 seconds (we reverted to xwiki .9). After moving the database to testing and doing some debugging, I think I see part of the problem. The main page shows several news items (ArticleClass items), and it appears that they are the cause of the slowdown. If I comment out all the calls to get information about these items ( ie $newsdoc.display("title", "view", $newsobject) ) the page speeds up significantly (about 1 second per field not retrieved). If I further comment out calls to $xwiki.getLocalUserName, I get another speed up of about 2 seconds (there were two calls per news item: for author and creator). The strange thing is, we saw little or no performance difference between xwiki .9 and 1 with our test databases, but copy the production database to testing and we see it. If we use xwiki .9, it's fast again. We had previously added an extensive set of indexes to the mysql database to improve performance in .9, but dropping/changing/recreating them had no significant effect. I've tried many debugging steps such as turning on hibernate debug and xwiki debug, and can't see any unexpected exceptions on database upgrade., and there's nothing unexpected in xwiki.log. The database is large-ish, 656M, but 601M of that is attachments, and deleting the entire contents of xwikiattachments and xwikiattachment_content has no effect. We have 1300 users listed on the users page, but I have not tried deleting some yet. Disabling stats had no impact on performance. I'm testing on Gentoo Linux, with IBM JDK 1.5, Tomcat 5.5, and MySQL 5. Any ideas about where to start debugging? -Tom -- Tom Kliethermes eSupport Initiatives IBM Information Management (913) 599-7240 Fax: (913) 599-8590 http://www.ibm.com/software/data

[Proposal] A system to manually manage the state of the wiki page (version, redactor, comment, validation, ...)
by Christophe Koehl 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello the xwiki community, We use Xwiki for a couple of years now as a tool for managing our IT projects. During the redaction of the main project documents, we have a strong need of versionning management - not the xwiki system, but our own one. To be clear, when a wiki page is written some information can be included in it : * Document version * Name of the redactor * Date of the modification * Name of validator * Comment In fact, the xwiki system contains almost all the components, but those information are updated each time a modification is being done, even when the document is a draft and has not be validated. For example, the xwiki version number is automatically incremented whereas the real document version number is still the same. So it can very very useful to integrate a system which can be able to manage manually the different state of the document. Regards Christophe Koehl From - Mon
