[xwiki-users] DNS mapping
by Trevor 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

In setting up our wiki farm, we'd like to do this: http://www.oursite.com/xwiki = the XEM manager http://wiki.oursite.com/xwiki = internal wiki http://client1.oursite.com/xwiki = Client 1's wiki http://client2.oursite.com/xwiki = Client 2's wiki How do we go about doing this? I've got the wikis themselves set up and responding properly using my HOSTS file (mapping each of those to the same IP), but how is it done in a "production" environment (for both internal and external clients)? We don't have our own DNS server, we rely on the ISP. Are these subdomains? Or different hosts of the "oursite.com" domain? Yes, I've searched for answers and have read about DNS and subdomains, etc. but it's just not sinking in. Anyone have a good link for reference? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Trevor

[xwiki-users] Configuring XWiki as ROOT webapp
by Trevor 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

I've been trying to get XWiki installed as the ROOT webapp so I can access it with localhost:8080 instead of localhost:8080/xwiki (referencing http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ShortURLs) I had XWiki working properly first, following the original instructions (expanding the WAR to /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/xwiki). Then I renamed xwiki to ROOT I created a ROOT.xml file in /usr/share/tomcat5.5//conf/Catalina/localhost as follows: <Context path="/" docBase="/usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/ROOT" debug="0" privileged="false" allowLinking="true"> </Context> and restarted Tomcat. Now when I go to localhost:8080 I get "Connection Interrupted The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." and get redirected to http://127.0.0.1:9080/xwiki/bin/Main/ThisWikiDoesNotExist Am I missing something? Thanks, Trevor

[xwiki-users] Exclude Admin from statistics
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hello friends, Is there a modification we could make to the most active contributor so that Admin is excluded from the results. The Admin does make a lot of changes & creates quite a few pages which are XWiki internal pages/test pages. These pages are never seen by the general user. Also, we would like to recognize those general users who contribute the most to Wiki. However, Admin & other power users show up at the top of the most active contributors list. The number of pages attributed to Admin are way too high (since XWiki default xar file that we install during fresh installation has almost all the pages attributed to Admin). This kind of gives skewed results. I looked through the api so that I could find a method call which would help me do this. I am unable to find anything that came close to these requirements. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

by clay 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

I'm a newbie. I searched the web for using this query: xwiki "user type" advanced simple and it didn't turn up anything to help me understand what those user types are. Could someone please clue me in and maybe tell me whether a different search would've turned up anything? Thanks!

[xwiki-users] simple email set up
by clay 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

I needed to set up an email address. I was really dismayed that it wasn't just a "change my account settings" type task. Are there any plans, or is there a way, to make specifying an email address a more end-user friendly task? Thanks!

[xwiki-users] help
by Youlian 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hello I am trying to promote xwiki use in the healthcare organization I work at. The biggest hurdle is the IT department, sometimes I feel like they want to sabotage all my efforts just for fun. After months and months of waiting, they finally provided me with a server, accessible from outside the hospital, the problem is that logging in is borked. My browser (latest firefox) shows "Loading..." as the tab header and the dot's circle forever. The status bar shows "Connected to my.organization.org..", but the Log-in screen stays on. The local version works fine, but I absolutely want it accessible globally. My xwiki version is "XWiki Enterprise 2.0-milestone-2.22241", the data store is MS SQL Server Apache Tomcat/5.5.17 1.6.0_14-b08 Now the IT guys say they have no clue as to what the problem is, and I have to fix it myself, which I can't do. Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you y -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/help-tp3480762p3480762.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Thanks for the reply Vincent & Sergiu. I will play around with the skin extension method to get the same result.
