[xwiki-users] having hard-time with wiki manager
by David Hláčik 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hi all friends, i am currently using serveral xwiki instances (xwiki-enterprise 1.3). I need to try xwiki-enterprise-manager to be able to create virtual wiki sites. I am having a really hard time with installation. I have used xwiki-enterprise-manager-web-1.1.war<http://forge.objectweb.org/project/download.php?group_id=170&file_id=10262> , tomcat 5 as a container, mysql as a database. I processed exactly same steps as i did several times installing xwiki enterprise. I have put war file into tomcat5 webapps directory, started/stoped tomcat in order to unpack it, configured hibernate..xml to mysql database. I have installed mysql connector to lib directory. I have copied custom log4j file to classes directory. I have created a wiki mysql user with full rights to create databases , created a wiki database. When i will point on http://mydomain:8080/xwiki according to xwiki.log it will fill mysql database xwiki and then i will get "page cannot be displayed message" (internet explorer message). I found no error in xwiki.log, no error nowhere else. When i will point it again at that adress http://mydomain:8080/xwiki still nothing -page cannot be displayed and zero messages in log. I spent 4 hours and that is enought time for me to ask for a help. Thanks in advance! David

[xwiki-users] xWiki functionality / Would it work for our project?
by jeff gerbracht 05 Apr '08

05 Apr '08

I'm reviewing java, open source CMS and wikis for a project we're soon to begin. The project will mirror some of wikipedias functionality in allowing collaboration on content to a set of authorized users, content discussion and versioning. There are a couple of items that are driving me to CMSs vs Wikis and I'm curious of xwiki might fit the bill. 1. I need more control of how the content is presented, i.e. strong programmaticly enforced templates and 2. I need something that will store portions of the content in separate database fields for more focused queries. Some of these fields would be text while others would be numerics, dates, etc. Something like a wikipedia country page but storing the Climate and Geology sections of geography in their own DB fields and also storing metrics such as GDP and Population as numbers in a relational database.

[xwiki-users] Upgrade experience from 1.3 to 1.3.1
by Benjamin Leung 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Hi, First of all, thank you for a great product. I just finish the upgrade and had some negative experience.. Here's how it went.. - First, I tried to export my wiki to a xar.. At first it produced an invalid xar/zip archive.. then I figured that xwiki refuse to produce a valid archive whenever the 'include history' is not checked. - I checked the xar and found out there are couple of 0 sized file which should have contents.. good thing is that I noticed them.. - exported the database - Then I upgraded the binaries.. and merged the configurations.. all went well. - Then, I followed the recommendation regarding importing the new 1.3.1 default wiki. - WHen I import the default wiki, I received an error message saying that there 4 documents that I can't import.. - I tried to delete the existing page but received errors during deletion. - The error say something about the attachment, so I delete the attachments first.. after I deleted the attachments, I was able to delete the remaining pages - after deletion, I was able the import the the rest of the documents. Horray.. upgrade finished! - Then I noticed when I tried to login using invalid LDAP credential, I still get an "Internal Error" which is one of the reason I bother to upgrade is still here.. - I also noticed that 1.3.1 broke the footnote macro partially.. Other than these, everything seems to work fine! Thanks, Ben

[xwiki-users] Space rights configuration...
by Aleksandar Vidakovic 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hi all, maybe I'm missing something, but I have problems to assigning rights to a newly created space. When I change to the "Space Rights" tab in the admin panel I have no possibility to enter anything (no drop downs etc.). If I edit the "system" space XWiki I can see them. How am I supposed to enter these rights? I am using Firefox 1.5 on Ubuntu 7.04 to edit the pages. XWiki runs on the same machine with a PostgreSQL 8.2 database. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Aleks
