[xwiki-users] [Mac OS X 10.5.7, PostgreSQL 8.3.7, Java 1.5.0_16, Tomcat 6.0.18] Xwiki WAR running in a Tomcat container started as a daemon
by Christian Ribeaud 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Hi, Following the instructions given at http://www.malisphoto.com/tips/tomcatonosx.html , I was able to get my Tomcat container started as daemon. I already put the Xwiki WAR file in the 'webapps' directory. Pointing the browser to http://localhost:8080/xwiki only gave me a blank page. Nothing on it. However manually starting Tomcat brings me back the correct behavior (the well known Xwiki starting page). In the daemon mode, the others contexts (like 'manager', 'examples') work. Only the Xwiki one did not. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone already have some experience with a Xwiki in a daemon started Tomcat container? Attached, you will find the 'jsvc' processes started and 'catalina.out'. Tell me if you need more information. Many thanks for you help, christian

[xwiki-users] XWiki 1.8.2 : migration from 1.5, import default .xar not working
by jerem 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi, I migrated the binaries from 1.5 to 1.8.2 (I'm on linux redhad / tomcat 5.5 / mysql 5). When importing default xar, most of the pages fail to be imported. Logs show these kind of messages : "ERROR packaging.Package - Failed to save document Stats.WebHome" In some cases, it fails on delete of existing pages. As I had many errors I removed the activity stream plugin temporarily. As it was too resource consuming, I also removed lucene to avoid full indexing at startup. Errors on import were the same with or without these plugins. I really don't know what I missed ... If anyone has a clue, thanks.

[xwiki-users] Velocity templates for skin
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi, First: could you validate my understanding. When a document url is requested XWIKI will get the document from the database and start applying velocity-templates. It will look, according to skin-setting, down a "template path" and if a programmer did not put a "modified" template on the path it will end in the templates directory (xwiki/templates) A programmer can put a template on the path by putting a rightly-named *.vm file in a directory in skins directory (xwiki/skins/toucan or xwiki/skins/#####) (where ##### is the name of the skin) A programmer can also put a template as a object in a xwiki-page of class XWiki.XWikiSkins You create a TextArea with the same name as the original template, without the vm extension The mother(s) of all templates are view.vm, edit.vm, preview.vm and save.vm? xwiki will always only apply the first found template of a certain name, meaning if you put some script in header object in the xwiki page of your skin it will ignore the header.vm files on the file system? This would imply that you best first copy the orginal script into the text-area field and then make your changes? Would this practise not lead to missing out on features of newer xwiki versions, assuming that the template-scripts are also improved? Or is the programmer forced to, with each upgrade, examine his/her scripts against the scripts in the templates directory? What is best practise here? Second; If you put also graphical elements, CSS scripts in the XWiki.XWikiSkins page of your skin how does xwiki know if it is a velocity-script, a css or a graphical element? Gerritjan

[xwiki-users] delete pages with unallowed characters in their names
by Sebastian Kannengiesser 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hi guys, is raw database hacking the only way to remove such pages? e.g. when looking at the orphaned pages tab in AllDocs, I find documents, generated through faulty code evaluation, such as .../SpaceName/<em class= , so to say, somehow the page was created with somje html stuff in its name. I've got lots of other examples. But when clicking on delete, XWiki tells me, that the page does not even exist yet. So, what can I do to delete it without hacking in the database itself. thanx for any suggestions Sebastian

[xwiki-users] Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving document
by Ajdin Brandic 28 May '09

Hi I'm getting this error (see below) while trying to rollback to an older document version. I have made some class property changes (additions) recently, could this prevent a correct rollback? If so is there a solution?

[xwiki-users] Unable to activate xwiki/2.0 syntax after upgrade
by Robert Munteanu 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi, We've just upgraded our wiki from 1.4.0 to 1.8.4 and are unable to activate any of the syntaxes - the syntax selector is not available in edit mode. Steps we've taken: - imported the default xar file - updated the plugins list - updated the configuration files - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Configuration#HConfigur… We have no customisation to the panels/skins etc. Where should I look to find out how to activate the new syntaxes? Thanks, Robert

[xwiki-users] users/groups administration interface in virtual mode
by ratso rizo 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hello, I'm trying to configure virtual wikis following the documentation provided at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Virtualization. I managed to configure manually some virtual wikis but then I'm no more able to administrate users,groups and rights using the administration/preferences interface (works well in NO virtual mode). The page freezes on "loading" and no users/groups or rights are diplayed. I've got javascripts errors in the firefox's console and the following css and javascript resources are not available when I run xwiki in virtual mode: /prismewiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/usersandgroups/usersandgroups.css /prismewiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/table/livetable.css /prismewiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/lightbox/lightbox.css /prismewiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/xwiki.js /prismewiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/lightbox/lightbox.js /prismewiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/usersandgroups/usersandgroups.js /prismewiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/table/livetable.js I got 302 http status for those urls and I can't access those urls. Besides I expected those resource to be something like: /prismewiki/xwiki/myvirtualwiki/bin/skin/resources/js/xwiki/usersandgroups/usersandgroups.css but even with that "virtual" url I still cannot access the resource. Thank you in advance for your help. Regards, Laurent

[xwiki-users] French accents do not display correctly
by Lijour, Marc (EDU) 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hi, I have downloaded the current XWiki enterprise version (1.8.4.20192) for Windows XP (English setup for Windows XP). I use the stock xwiki.cfg and the only config I did in XWiki is that I made it unilingual with fr as the default language. I experiment issues with French accents everywhere (groups, page names) but inside the pages. I can write page content with French accents with my regular French keyboard, but when I try to create a group called for example Référents I have RÃ©fÃ©rents instead of Référents. When I use the panel to create a new page called Référents then the URL is recoded http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/R%E9f%E9rents?template=&parent=&… Any advice? Thanks, Marc Lijour
