Re: [xwiki-users] [Proposal] New free and community-managed farm on xwiki.org?

by sachin mittal

Hi Vincent, People who are interested in free xwiki and want to use it as an experimental tool can download it and play with it. It costs nothing for them. As far as I have seen that students and other such individuals seldom become paying customers. They typically use for project work etc. I think hosted solution should focus on paying customers only unless you want to test the scalability of xwiki real time by giving free access.

[xwiki-users] List-documents property has duplicates

by Paul Libbrecht

Hello list, when using list-documents as database-list property as described in: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/ListDocumentsSnippet I seem to get duplicates for each language. Then I tried: select doc.name, doc.title from com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument as doc grouped by doc.name where doc.web = 'MySpace' and doc.name!='WebHome') but that emptied the possible values (as output by $doc.display ('fieldName') What have I done wrong ? I'm a bit of a newbie in HQL! thanks in advance paul

[xwiki-users] XWiki upgrade from 1.0 to 1.2

by Julien Oix

Hi everyone, I want to upgrade XWiki to the latest version, using the war package. Indeed, my XWiki's encoding, as the MySQL database, are latin1 (ISO-8859-1) and with version 1.0, when I display any previous version of a page using the "History" function, accents and all special entities are displayed as "?" (I didn't find any JIRA issue matching this :) So I can't rollback any page whitout losing accents, and it's the main reason for this upgrade. Starting from http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation, i've read http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise12 wich leads to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise112 in my case. Here what I did on a test server with its own Tomcat and MySQL containers : 1- copy from the production server the whole $webapp directory and dump the xwiki database change hibernate.cfg.xml that it talks to the copied test database restart all and check i've the same wiki 2 - delete all the content of $webapp. unjar xwiki-web-standard-1.1.2.war in this empty directory. edit /WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg (adding the xwiki.upload.tempdir line), /WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml (changing the mysql connection) and /skins/albatross/global.vm (there is a little change in order to restrict registration with a password). restart all the stuff (apache, tomcat) --> I find my wiki as with the 1.0 install, but the bug is still here 3 - import the FixRCS.xar as written on the 1.1.2 release note : http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise11M… trying to run it --> the catalina log tells me something like that : 16:39:58,581 WARN TP-Processor7 http://xwiki.pps.jussieu.fr/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/FixRCS?force JDBCExceptionReporter:logExceptions:71 - SQL Error: 1062, SQLState: 23000 16:39:58,583 ERROR TP-Processor7 http://xwiki.pps.jussieu.fr/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/FixRCS?force JDBCExceptionReporter:logExceptions:72 - Duplicate entry '-492041200-Panels.' for key 1 16:39:58,586 ERROR TP-Processor7 http://xwiki.pps.jussieu.fr/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/FixRCS?force AbstractFlushingEventListener:performExecutions:299 - Could not synchronize database state with session org.hibernate.exception.ConstraintViolationException: Could not execute JDBC batch update ...

Sorry for writing a lot, now my questions :) 1 - Did I understand well the upgrade process ? Do I have to upgrade first from 1.0 to 1.1.2 and then from 1.1.2 to 1.2 ? Why running the FixRCS.xar content doesn't work after 1.1.2 upgrade ? Is that the reason why I can't update to 1.2 after, or why the bug is still there ? 2 - In which XWiki version this "special entities not displayed in old revisions with ISO-8859-1 encoding" bug is fixed ? 3 - Has someone tried the same upgrade ? Did U succeed ?

[xwiki-users] errors while importing xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.2.xar.zip

Re: [xwiki-users] [Proposal] New free and community-managed farm on xwiki.org?

by goldring, richard

Hi Vincent, It sounds like a good idea. It would provide: * a place to test out the latest XWiki builds and quickly identify issues and resolve them * a free place for people to host their websites I'd certainly consider it for my non-work related material.

Netcipia is another farm that could be seen as a kind of competitor to this new xwiki.org farm. However there are some differences: * the xwiki.org farm will be using the default UI (same as XWiki Enterprise) and the same features * it'll be supported by the xwiki community * it'll have latest versions installed at all times * there's no business model behind this xwiki.org farm I think the target is really different. Netcipia's idea is to propose ways for users to sell their content online whereas this farm will be more for hosting "intranets"/"web sites". Anyway the free xwiki.org farm is not fully decided yet. I'd like to see more opinions form the xwiki users and dev community about it.

[xwiki-users] New User Interface

by Loris Conedera

Hi, I have a problem upgrading Xwiki at release 1.2 from 1.1.2. I can't get the new rights Management interface. I replaced the WebApp and copied the files hibernate.cfg.xml, xwiki.cfg in the new version. I'm using Oracle and so I replaced the hibernate Jar. After restarting Tomcat I imported the new XAR. When I try to open "Global Rights" I get the old rights management interface. I hope someone can help me, Thanks, Loris
