[xwiki-users] performance on the farm? editing documentation?
by Yishay Mor 13 May '08

13 May '08

Hello all, and apologies for the n00b questions. I'm running a wiki on the wiki farm at: http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/ For the last few days, I've noticed a significant degradation in performance. I suspect this is not specific to my wiki, but affecting the whole farm (http://www.myxwiki.org/ is also a bit slow to respond). The documentation recommends some measures for boosting performance, but as far as I can see they all require access to the underlying system, e.g. indexing the SQL tables. Also, when I do learn something about XWiki, I'd like to give something back by updating the documentation. I couldn't find a "register" link there. thanks, - Yishay -- ___________________________ Yishay Mor, Researcher, London Knowledge Lab http://www.lkl.ac.uk/people/mor.html http://yishaym.wordpress.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/yishaymor http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yishaym%40gmail.com +44-20-78378888 x5737

[xwiki-users] LDAP authentication, group membership problem
by Michael Jeanson 13 May '08

13 May '08

Hi, I'm trying to get ldap authentication working on xWiki 1.3.2.9174 against an openldap server but there seems to be a problem with group membership validation. Here is what I have in the logs : [http-8080-1] DEBUG LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl - Checking if the user belongs to the user group: cn=xwiki,ou=Group,dc=example,dc=net [http-8080-1] ERROR ldap.XWikiLDAPUtils - Could not find attribute uid for LDAP dn cn=xwiki,ou=Group,dc=example,dc=net [http-8080-1] DEBUG LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl - Trying authentication against XWiki DB [http-8080-1] WARN LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl - LDAP authentication failed. It seems xWiki uses the "uid" attribute to map group membership but in my case it should be "memberUid" The relevant configuration parameters : xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=cn=xwiki,ou=Group,dc=example,dc=net xwiki.authentication.ldap.UID_attr=uid The attribute "uid" is correctly used to define a unique user but I haven't found any parameter in the admin guide to define the group membership attribute, I am missing something?

Re: [xwiki-users] Attachement checkout
by goldring, richard 13 May '08

Shiva, If users use XWiki as a way of managing document version then this scenario could happen. I guess it could be a future enhancement to provide checking out/in of documents to prevent other users accidently checking out documents another person is editing. This could be done manually by the users noting in the wiki page that they've checked out one or more documents though it would be better to have this feature built into XWiki. Regards, Richard -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Shiva Shankar Sent: 12 May 2008 20:02 To: users(a)xwiki.org Subject: [xwiki-users] Attachement checkout Hi fellow XWikiers, Am curious to know how you have handled the apparent lack of checkout of attachments. Any insights will be useful on how to handle this scenario. 1. User X creates a page and attaches an Excel spreadsheet 2. User Y then downloads the excel and edits it 3. Before Y can upload the new version, X downloads it again and updates the excel 4. User Y uploads the excel Of course, X and Y can see what changed between the versions using tools provided by Excel but this is not very intuitive.

[xwiki-users] Errors during migration from standalone xwiki to Oracle-tomcat Xwiki
by Kamna Jain 13 May '08

13 May '08

Hello All, With Vincent's help I have migrated from the standalone wiki to the xwiki on a remote server. But, I am not able to import · Main.LuceneSearch · Panels.SyntaxHelp · Photos.NewAlbum pages, alongwith some other pages that I created and also my ow user profile. I also tried to import the above mentioned 3 pages from " xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.3~.xar <javascript:void()>" but it still gives error: (for all 3 of these) 12:04:17,007 [ http://crntsbox01/xwiki/bin/import/XWiki/Import?editor=import&space=XWiki] [http-80-Processor20] ERROR packaging.Package - Failed to save document Photos.NewAlbum 12:04:17,304 [ http://crntsbox01/xwiki/bin/import/XWiki/Import?editor=import&space=XWiki] [http-80-Processor20] ERROR .AbstractFlushingEventListener - Could not synchronize database state with session org.hibernate.StaleStateException: Batch update returned unexpected row count from update [0]; actual row count: 0; expected: 1 Also, another weird thing that is happening is that all my groups show the number of members - 1 more than the actual number of members in the group. I know that each group has the blank XWiki.XwikiGroups object and one each for a particular member. But, this was not a problem for me in my standalone version (1.4-SNAPSHOT). In the new setup (which is 1.3.2.9174), it seems like it is counting that blank object also as a member! Do I need to change something for it to show the correct number of members in every group? Thanks
