Authenticating to AD/LDAP
by Neil Sedger 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Is the example AD configuration in the Wiki the right way to do things? My understanding is that the bind_DN and bind_pass are for setting the username and password XWiki will use to connect to the LDAP server in order to do a search, then the UID_attr field is searched for the username entered on the form. If that is correct then the bind_dn and bind_pass should either be hardcoded to a special AD user with restricted privileges, or left blank to bind anonymously. (I see no mention of anonymous binding?) For the first of these XWiki connects to AD ok but then seems to 'authenticate OK' whatever username/password I enter on the form even if the user does not exist in AD at all. Is this a bug? I can't seem to get anonymous binding to work - if I leave bind_dn and bind_pass empty or comment out the entries entirely I always get the 'LDAP Bind failed with Exception Invalid Credentials' error message. My LDAP server does allow anonymous binding - I've tested this in LDAP Browser. Cheers Neil

Import problems
by Karin Wiklund 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hi all, I hope I can get some help on this as I really don't know what to do... I'm making the last preparations to move my experimental xwiki to another machine for actual use but my Imports don't work. I can make a backup.xar file using the Export tool but as I try to import it again I get a huge error message. I tried attaching it and sending it with this mail but I got it back because it was too large... The first part of it goes like this: Error number 3232 in 3: Exception while saving attachment Backup.xar of document XWiki.Import Wrapped Exception: Error number 3231 in 3: Exception while loading attachment Backup.xar of document XWiki.Import Wrapped Exception: exception setting property value with CGLIB (set hibernate.cglib.use_reflection_optimizer=3Dfalse for more info) setter of com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiAttachmentArchive.setArchive com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3232 in 3: Exception while saving attachment Backup.xar of document XWiki.Import Wrapped Exception: Error number 3231 in 3: Exception while loading attachment Backup.xar of document XWiki.Import Wrapped Exception: exception setting property value with CGLIB (set hibernate.cglib.use_reflection_optimizer=3Dfalse for more info) setter of com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiAttachmentArchive.setArchive After searching the mailinglist archives I've tried the following: - set the -Xms512m to -Xmx521m in catalina.sh - remove documents with Swedish carachters in their names - made a much smaller .xar file by changing the package.xml file and only including what I left in there. - imported old backups that I know worked back then, but it gives me the same error as all the others. I'm using MySQL, Tomcat, XWiki 1.0 and it has all worked before... Please help! Thanks, //Karin

New install, XWikiPreferences doesn't work
by Neil Sedger 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hi all, I've followed the install procedure for XWiki 1.1 milestone 3 - using HSQL and OC4J. It works in that I can go to /xwiki and I get a page 'XWiki Installation' with links to Installation Instructions and the XWiki Home Page. The next step according to the documentation is to import the default wiki XAR file. But when I go to: xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences I get a '500 Internal Server Error' along with: 'Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details.' The xwiki.log file shows the following message: 11:24:11,716 [AJPRequestHandler-RMICallHandler-6] WARN action.RequestProcessor - Unhandled Exception thrown: class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException Any suggestions please? Thanks Neil

Using UTF-8 in XWiki...
by Roopesh P Raj 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hello group, I want to use UTF-8 data in XWiki. It seems it is not recognizing it. I tried to import unicode data to XWiki (by importing a xar file created programatically). But export fails with an exception. I tried changing the xwiki.cfg encoding to utf-8 but to no effect. Regards Roopesh ------------------ DigitalGlue, India

Problem with $xwiki.getURLContent()
by Thomas Drevon 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hi! I'm trying to use $xwiki.getURLContent() but I can't make it to work. I've tried both from velocity, like this: #set ($response = $xwiki.getURLContent("http://mysite.com")) $response ...and invoking the xwiki code from a plugin, like this: public String getUrlContent(String url) throws IOException { String content = ""; try { content = context.getWiki().getURLContent(url, context); } catch (Exception e) { //ooops } return content; } I've been testing with a URL that points to a web server of mine, and according to the log, no request is done by the above code. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-) Thomas

No users available

08 Aug '07

Hi, I installed xwiki and there are no users installed and no option to create new users. The user's page is empty. The only way I found to work was to allow the superuser account but there is no other user and now way to add users. Any ideas? Juan Manuel Urraburu ProRM Uruguay

Delete access right
by Shawn Lauzon 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

Hi all, What is the delete access right supposed to do? It doesn't seem to do anything currently, at least in 1.0. In the albatross skin, if I enable delete rights in a space for a non-admin, the delete button does not appear for that user. Thanks ... shawn.

running xwiki on Ingres database
by advait 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

I am trying to run xwiki with Ingres, for this I have converted file xwiki-db-0.9.2.sql to ingres compatible format. And I ran this file on Ingres database. I have everything else in place: drivers, configuration in hibernate.cfg.xml etc... My app server is JBoss 4.0.5, so when I start xwiki I get: 17:54:49,830 FATAL [DBCPConnectionProvider] Could not create a DBCP pool java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:396) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.DBCPConnectionProvider.configure(DBCPConnectionProvider.java:110) at org.hibernate.connection.ConnectionProviderFactory.newConnectionProvider(ConnectionProviderFactory.java:80) at org.hibernate.cfg.SettingsFactory.createConnectionProvider(SettingsFactory.java:349) at org.hibernate.cfg.SettingsFactory.buildSettings(SettingsFactory.java:58) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSettings(Configuration.java:1509) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1054) at com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateBaseStore.initHibernate(XWikiHibernateBaseStore.java:125) so i removed connection.provider_class property from hibernate.cfg.xml. Afterwards when i tried running xwiki i got this exception and xwiki page is not coming: 18:11:49,447 ERROR [JDBCExceptionReporter] line 1, Table 'xwikidoc' owned by 'advait.trivedi' does not contain column 'xwd_default_template'. ....... I noticed that this column is not part of "create table" sql but somehow it is getting added to the table definition afterwards. Because i noticed this column using "describe xwikidoc" mysql command.

SV: resend: [xwiki-users] Backlinks in administration/editing mode
by Karin Wiklund 07 Aug '07

Hi, I'm using Albatross and I have no idea why the panels disappear in editing and administration modes. They just aren't there and it seems the Panel Wizard can't change that.

Giving users the same way to do stuff (such as navigate) wherever they are in the system is good usability practice. I'd say it's preferable that the desicions on what panels to show, and where, should apply on every single page in the wiki.
