admin issues
by John Coleman 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi, I installed XWiki standalone on windows. I went in using Admin/admin then entered my own personal details. Now I can't log in using either Admin or my account details, it always says Wrong User Name. So I uninstalled and reinstalled, same problem. Strangely after the reinstall the welcome message and other characteristics of the virgin installation don't come back. Is something left in the registry? Any tips please?

Security problems
by bjquinn 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Ok so I'm using xwiki 1.0 standalone. Setup is pretty simple. I just unzipped the files and ran the start_xwiki.sh and opened it up in my browser. I haven't made any modifications (except changing the port number to 80 in the startup script). My problem is that a lot of the security related options don't seem to work. For example, when I create a new group, it doesn't always show up under http://192.168.1.27/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiGroups and if I try to recreate that group it says it already exists. Also, when adding a user to a group by clicking the little + button to add a new line for a new user (on http://192.168.1.27/xwiki/bin/inline/XWiki/GroupName) the link goes to http://192.168.1.27xwiki/bin/objectadd/XWiki/GroupName?classname=XWiki.XWik… Notice that there's no "/" in between the IP address and "xwiki", so of course the "page cannot be displayed". If I fix the link myself in the address bar and add the missing "/" then the page allowing me to add a user comes up correctly. If I change the startup script to go back to port 8080 (default), then the link is http://192.168.1.27:8080/bin/objectadd/XWiki/GroupName?classname=XWiki.XWik…. Of course, now there's a "/" but "/xwiki" is missing and I still get a "page cannot be displayed". My other problem is that once I do get a user and/or group created and I want to set permissions on a particular "space" (i.e. I do or don't want it to show up altogether for different users), I can deny all the permissions available on the administration "space rights" tab, but the space is still visible on the right hand side, it's just that it returns the user an error if they don't have rights. So I figured I might be able to hide the space altogether and saw the "space prefs" tab and thought that might be useful. Of course the link for this tab is http://192.168.1.27xwiki/bin/objectadd/SpaceName/WebPreferences?classname=X…. Notice the lack of "/" in between the IP address and "xwiki" again at the beginning of the link. Of course I can't bring that page up either. I'm using a completely default xwiki 1.0 standalone version downloaded from xwiki.org on Fedora 7. Apache is not running, just xwiki (tomcat, I guess). It seems rather bizarre that I'd have so many problems with something I didn't change at all, except for the port number. Of course, changing the port number back just mangles the above mentioned links differently. It doesn't fix the problem. Seems like I'm missing something pretty fundamental here. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? -BJ Quinn -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Security-problems-tf4119184.html#a11714695 Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

logging to file?
by justin_robbins＠cotyinc.com 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi everyone, This is my first post to this mailing list. Sorry in advance if this is a noob question. I have installed xwiki-enterprise-1.1-milestone-3 on a Windows XP machine. For now, I'm using the default HSQL database and Jetty web server. I start XWiki by running "start_xwiki.bat". This opens a command window. It appears the system out is logged directly to the command window. As I navigate around in the XWiki application I see multiple stack traces in the command window. How can I send the log to a file instead of the command window? If I were to post here for help with a problem it would probably be helpful if I could include the errors that are being logged. Thanks in advance for the help. I'm looking forward to evaluating XWiki and possibly using it in our organization. Regards, Justin Robbins

Update with XMLRPC
by diaga＠nomade.fr 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi, I was testing the exchange of data with Xwiki using XMLRPC and I had a strange behaviour. When trying to update a page by adding some content, I had to relogging to view the change, this normal I think. But when I remove the content of the page and I put a new one, I have to reboot my Web Server. It's a strange behaviour for me. So is the problem coming from me ( environment: Apache Tomcat, database Mysql, Xwiki 1.0 ) or is this the normal behaviour? If you have any idea, thank you for your suggestion. Bye

Email shortage of 16/17th July 2007 - Please resend
by Vincent Massol 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi everyone, ObjectWeb (our infrastructure) is not answering as to whether we will recover the mails lost on the 16th and 17th. I have asked OW Admins at least 3 times for the past 6 days and they said they're working on it (but they haven't told us whether it'll be possible or not to recover them). Thus we cannot wait any longer as there were important mails sent during that period. I'm going to resend my emails and I advise everyone to do the same. We're really sorry about this. I'm following this up on OW's side. Please note that the emails sent this week end have also not made it to the list yet. Let's hope they're not lost too. Thanks and again please accept our apologies for all these emails issues we're suffering from the past 3 months. We're working on finding a solution real soon so that it doesn't happen again in the future. -Vincent Massol XWiki Release Manager

[xwiki-users] How to remove properties from a class ?
by Dan Murphy 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Hi, Is it possible to remove properties from a user defined class (I can't see it in the UI) ? Undeterred I tried to use the info at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DatabaseSchema I tried : select * from xwikiclasses this returned no rows, which seems to imply no user defined classes select * from xwikiclassesprop where WXP_NAME like 'myprop%' did show the property I added to the class delete from xwikiclassesprop where WXP_NAME like 'myprop%' unfortunatly didn't seem to remove the myprop from my class (the class editor showed it) Incidently I edited the db before starting the server (to avoid possible caching issues). So, short of deleting and recreating my class... does anyone know how to remove unwanted properties from a class ? Many thanks in advance, Dan PS. Would others find this a useful feature ?

20 Jul '07

Hi, I was trying to create two virtual wikis but this is not working. I used apache and the hosts file of windows to make virtual hosts pointing on the xwiki controller. I have no DNS, I am working on local. In the near futur, I will have an pûbmlic IP adresse and no DNS or subdomain. I am a little confuse. If someone can help because I am really lost. Thanks a lot, bye
