[xwiki-users] Apache in front of Xwiki issue

Hi all, Me again... I'm trying to get Xwiki to run behind Apache using mod_proxy, so that I have access to Xwiki via port 80 and can still do other Apache stuff. I've set up Apache according to: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Performances ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /xwiki ajp://localhost:8009/xwiki I have also enabled the AJP connector in the Xwiki Jetty's jetty.xml file, by un-commenting the relevant section However, I get an Apache error page when trying to load the proxied Xwiki (200 OK - "The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems.

[xwiki-users] xwiki rendering questions / suggestions

by Ari

Hello. My question / suggestion goes with two part. PART 1 I've tried to figure out why the XWiki renders xwiki-headings as it does. E.g "1 Title One" is rendered as '<h2 class="heading-1">Title One</h2>'. I would like to change this to be h1-element instead of h2-element. At first I suspected that this change would require only small modification in some velocity template. It seems that I was wrong. My current guess is that this rendering is done somewhere in java (from xwiki.hbm.xml I tracked the doc.XWikiDocument and with that my guess is DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java). However, I don't know how/where I should change the code. Is there a flow-chart or something to describe the render-phase? As the description of this list goes: I would suggest that the xwiki rendering should be done in a straightforward way where syntax 1 would be h1, 1.1 h2, 1.1.1 h3 and so on. PART 2 Another suggestion is that minor fix would be implemented in rendering. An example text and the rendered result: ------------------ this is text before list. * this * is * list this is text after list. ------------------ <p>this is text before list.</p> <ul class="star"> <li>this</li> <li>is</li> <li>list</li> </ul>this is text after list. ------------------ Also "this is text after list" should be rendered as paragraph. A workaround is to write: ------------------ this is text before list. * this * is * list <span> this is text after list. ------------------ <p>this is text before list.</p> <ul class="star"> <li>this</li> <li>is</li> <li>list</li> </ul><span> <p>this is text after list.</p> ------------------ Same goes with lists with - * and #. With Best Regards, ari

[xwiki-users] New install problem: 404 from Tomcat

by Graeme West

Hi all, Just attempted to deploy the XWiki 1.4 .WAR distribution into Tomcat 5.5.20, using PostgreSQL, and I'm getting a 404 error when I try to load the Xwiki main page. I deployed the wiki by dropping the .war file into the webapps directory, and Tomcat subsequently automatically unpacked the WAR into an 'xwiki' directory. But now when I go to my host : http://localhost:8080/xwiki/ , I get an Apache Tomcat 404 error, saying "The requested resource (/xwiki/) is not available.". It's not even an XWiki 404 - it's a default Tomcat one, the same as I'd get if I loaded http://localhost:8080/ThisWebAppDoesNotExist . I'm sure I've installed the Xwiki war incorrectly, but can anyone point me in the right direction - where have I gone wrong? I'm deploying on CentOS 5 using the default Tomcat installation which comes with that OS. The only thing I've changed is the Hibernate configuration to reflect a Postgre database (which is set up). Thanks in advance. Graeme West Glasgow Caledonian University is a registered Scottish charity, number SC021474

[xwiki-users] 1.4.1 and resetting user passwords?

by Joe

Hi, One small thing I notice is hat you have to go the the objects for resetting a user's password (ie, when you're not the user and you're changing it for them). Shouldn't this have an automatic temporary-password script behind it? Also, when setting a user's password manually through the objects, I get a big nasty database error.. followed by general odd behavior even if I recreate the account. Is that expected?

[xwiki-users] Workspaces install

by Matthew Levy

Hi all, I am attempting to install workspaces and everything installs correctly but when I am prompted to create the organization's space, it looks as if the macros are not working. Instead of the form field to enter the name of the space, I get: $newspace.display("displayTitle","edit"). It looks like the velocity engine is not working for some reason. If I install as standalone, it works just fine. The xwiki instance is running on glassfish using hsqldb. I would imagine this is fairly common as I followed the instructions to a tee, but I still get this. Any clues? Thanks much, Matt

[xwiki-users] XWiki Does Not Handle Attachments Efficiently

by AW

Is there anything I can do to make XWiki 1.4 handle large attachments? That is, attachments from a few megabytes up to a few dozen megabytes. XWiki does not appear to efficiently handle attachments in general; large attachments appear to require extraordinary measures and resources. In testing prior to a deployment I attempted to attach a 56 MB file to an instance running on a server with 2GB of RAM and using MySQL as the database. To attach the file: 1. I first had to set the MySQL max_allowed_packet value in /etc/my.cnf to a larger value, since by default it's only 1MB and XWiki stores attachments directly in the database, rather than saving them in the file system and referencing the attachment's path. 2. Next I needed change the maximum attachment size in XWiki, which can be done by "edit[ing] the XWiki.XWikiPreferences class and add[ing] a NumberProperty field of type long, named upload_maxsize" which I finally figured out I could accomplish by visiting a page similar to "http://my.server/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object" ...although this wasn't immediately obvious. 3. At this point attempting to attach the file resulted in a JDBC error, which I resolved by manually changing some columns in the database from type mediumblob to longblob. 4. Attempting to attach the file still didn't work, this time due to Java heap space limitations. I increased the size of the heap, modifying the JAVA_OPTS with -Xmx512m -Xms512m (setting the initial and maximum heap sizes to 512MB, up from 256). This had no effect on the error, so I increased the size to 1 GB, but the error persisted. At 1.2 GB I was able to attach the file. Next I attempted to delete the attachment along with the page to which it is attached. My naïve assumption was that deleting an attachment should be easier than adding one and I didn't anticipate problems. Unfortunately, this again resulted in out of memory errors. To work around the problem I tried deleting the attachment by clicking the delete button in the show --> attachments screen. This still resulted in an out of memory error, so I upped the heap size to 1.6 GB, or 80% of the RAM in the server. This resulted in very heavy swapping, yet still failed due to an out of memory exception. (On the positive side, at least the swapping helped keep the processor utilization under 100%.) I've ordered another 2GB of RAM and will try increasing the heap size again after it's installed. Until then, is there anything I can do to keep attachments from eating the server alive? If I recall correctly, there has been talk about saving attachments externally, rather than within the database. Has anyone built a mechanism to allow this, or is there any news to report on that front? Also, does anyone have any advice on how I can excise this page and its 56MB attachment from the system prior to more memory arriving? (I'd like to do so as, aside from the attachment problems and dysfunctional WYSIWYG editor, the system looks deployable.) As it stands, unless I'm doing something incorrectly, I have to conclude that it's basically impractical to use attachments larger than a few megabytes with XWiki, and even small attachments are frightfully ungainly. - AW

Hi XWiki users and developers ! It's voting time again.. You have helped me get through to the semi final a few month ago, and this week is the voting period for the semi-final.

Make sure you select the second person at the top !): http://www.radiobfm.com/bfm_academie/index.php This can give a nice additional boost to XWiki !

[xwiki-users] toucan and IE?

by Joe

Having a lot of trouble getting this skin to work right in IE (v6 is standard on all our desktops). Note that the below does not happen for firefox, only for IE: - "Editor" and "Document Information" panels in edit mode appear in the wrong place (offscreen to the bottom left instead of onscreen to the top-ish right) - Requires that the server be in "Trusted" domain to use the sort-filter tables, and a few other less essential features. - Tables that worked on 1.1 are now "scrunched up". By that I mean, if they were setup to span the screen using % values (setting one of them to a pixel value to avoid the ie table bug), in 1.4.1 toucan they take up one word's worth of space per column. We have probably a few hundred area's that this affects (listings, document content, edit content, etc). Sure they're mainly cosmetic, but they end up being show-stoppers for my users. Anyone out there got some advice on getting toucan working on IE?

[xwiki-users] Failed to change the Lucene Index Dir

by lidan

I installed XWiki 1.4.1 with tomcat and mysql. I followed http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Plugins/LucenePlugin to change the index directory. For example, xwiki.plugins.lucene.indexdir=D:/lucene . I changee the dir, saved xwiki.cfg and restarted xwiki. But the index still in the tomcat/work/lucene. Then I tried first deleted the existing index folder and files in tomcat/work. Restarted again, XWiki created new lucene folder and index files in tomcat/work. I tried several different dirs, but all the results were same. Anyone could tell me why, am I missing something? _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Photo gallery 数码相机的超级伴侣，轻松管理和编辑照片，还能制作全景美图！ http://get.live.cn/product/photo.html

[xwiki-users] XEM : about domain name

by guyodo gaetan

The "domain name" can create for the domain abc.com multiple wikis on the schema : wiki1.abc.com wiki2.abc.com wikiX.abc.com My problem is that I already have a sub-domain name, and it is not easy for me to obtain new ones. Is it possible to use domain names to create wikis on the schema : sub.domain.com/wiki1 sub.domain.com/wiki2 sub.domain.com/wikiX If that is supported, that will be perfect for me, but my first tests doesn't works, so...

[xwiki-users] Lucene search

by Mihails Agafonovs

Hi! 1) I've been expecting problems with Lucene search in XWiki 1.4. To be more precise, it doesn't work at all :(. Seems that searching or either returning results function is broken. 2) In version 1.3 it worked, but somehow strange. For example, Lucene returned results, when search criteria was Mihails, and nothing, if search criteria was Mihail. Ar cieņu, Mihails
