Virtual Wiki (testing on 0.9.840; for implementation on 1.0)
by Esbach, Brandon 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Hi folks, Having a little trouble setting up a virtual wiki - not sure how many out there have tried. My current configuration: I have three separate wiki instances pointing to different databases. These are currently running 0.9.840, but are due for upgrade to 10beta1 in the near future. The real performance improvement we need to implement though is virtual wiki instead of full instances. As the databases already contain a lot of data, we were planning to use the existing databases for the new virtual wiki's. I'm following the directions found here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowToSetupVirtualWikis. I've tested prior to configuration that the new pointers are working: all my virtual domains are pointing to my main wiki: 1) general.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com [database xwiki] 2) production.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com [database xwiki_ext] 3) broadband.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com [database xwiki_brd] The setup is pretty much as defined in the docs. The three documents created: XWiki.XWikiServerXwiki server field "general.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com" owner field "XWiki.Admin" XWiki.XWikiServerxwiki_brd server field "broadband.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com" owner field "XWiki.Admin" XWiki.XWikiServerxwiki_ext server field "production.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com" owner field "XWiki.Admin" Additionally, "xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com" points to the same server (but is not configured as a virtual server anywhere). Here's the odd thing: "general.xwiki.ie.tycoelectronics.com" (the Xwiki database) works perfectly, but for both of the other virtual servers I get the following error (substitute xwiki_ext for xwiki_brd when trying the broadband one): javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 2 in 0: The wiki xwiki_ext does not exist org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processException(RequestProces sor.java:516) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestPr ocessor.java:423) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java: 226) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1164) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:397) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter.doFilter(SetCharacterEncodi ngFilter.java:127) root cause com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 2 in 0: The wiki xwiki_ext does not exist com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getXWiki(XWiki.java:241) com.xpn.xwiki.web.ViewEditAction.execute(ViewEditAction.java:117) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestPr ocessor.java:421) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java: 226) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1164) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:397) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter.doFilter(SetCharacterEncodi ngFilter.java:127) Anyone out there got this working (or maybe that can see something I've put in wrong)?

[xwiki-users] XMLRPC on xwiki.com
by Robin Fernandes 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Hi all, Has XMLRPC been disabled on xwiki.com? I used to access http://openmpt.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/xmlrpc/confluence but that has gone away Looking at the XMLRPC tests in the code, it seems the RPC url has moved to http://<server>/xwiki/xmlrpc, but accessing http://openmpt.xwiki.com/xwiki/xmlrpc results in: Exception in thread "main" org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: Failed to invoke method login in class com.xpn.xwiki.xmlrpc.ConfluenceRpcHandler: Error number 2 in 0: The wiki openmpt does not exist at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient$Worker.execute(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.execute(Unknown Source) [...] Any ideas? By the way, I also tried XMLRPC on a local copy from svn trunk and couldn't get it to work. I haven't done much debugging yet, so it could be an env problem on my side. But here's the error in case someone has seen it before: Exception in thread "main" org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: Failed to instantiate class com.xpn.xwiki.xmlrpc.ConfluenceRpcHandler at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient$Worker.execute(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.execute(Unknown Source) [...] Regards, Robin

PDF Output: XWiki10B2
by Esbach, Brandon 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

When creating a PDF output, the view is very different from the view offered when in xwiki itself (adds thick outer borders; widths are all overridden; etc)... is there any way in xwiki10B2 to alter this? This was partially possible in 0.9.840 by modifying an xsl file (forget which one, about a year ago when I did this on our own servers). There seems to be only one xsl file in the current version (xhtml.xsl), which does not seem to affect the style of the PDF output. Anyone that can point me in the right direction for resolving this?

BLog listing!
by g.verhaag＠lrcb.nl 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

I'm trying to set up a local xwiki site for our institute. Download an installation finished. Local XWiki works fine! I'm new to the scripting languages Groovy and Velocity. I'd like some help in generating a list of all BLog entries in lets say a category with name X! Can anybody help? It'd be fairly ease, but don't know how to tackle this problem at the moment. Thanks in advance! Regards, Gerard

How to configure internationalization?
by G.Schoepp 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Hi, I just setup my own Wiki using xwiki-1.0-beta-2.war (Win2K, Tomcat 5.0.27). The web gui is presented in english language and I wonder how to put this into german. I changed the "Default Language" to "de" ("Multi Lingual"="no") but nothing changed so this doesn't seem to be the right way. Any hints? Guido

Login Timout Schedule: Xwiki10B2
by Esbach, Brandon 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Hi All, I'm not sure if this is a problem that anyone else has noticed, but we're currently plagued with very short login timeouts; even when using the "Remember Me" option on login. We've noted the same on our 10B2 server (upgraded from 0.9.840), and our recently installed "clean" test system consistently: If you have not triggered an action in the last 30 to 50 minutes, you have to login again - this causes blank news topics when, for example, a news topic is built up during a meeting that lasts over 30 minutes. Examining the Cookies when using the "Remember Me" shows nothing unusual, all cookies are set to expire after today excluding JSESSION which is set for current session (removing JSESSION manually does not seem to require relogin). Is there any simple way to avoid this problem; or to at least increase the timeout? Platform: IE6 WinXP No additional Browser plugins. Same happens on: Firefox 2.0.0.1 WinXP Plugins: Web Developer; FireFTP; FireBug.

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to import many files at once? We are trying to migrate all of our legacy HTML docs into XWiki - is there a command line version of XAR that we can use to archive the docs and then import them? Thanks, -Greg

Request for help on XWiki documentation
by Vincent Massol 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

Hi XWiki users, We'd like to ask for your help in making XWiki better. We're targeting XWiki 1.0 for sometime in March 2007 but there's a huge amount of stuff to do before it can happen. One area where it's easy to help and where it would provide great benefit is the user documentation on http://www.xwiki.org. There are several small tasks in JIRA for documentation. Could some of you have a look and try implementing them? They are all grouped under http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-586 For example: - Document the {image} macro - Document the {attach} macro - etc The way to implement them is easy: * Register on http://www.xwiki.org * Go to the Code Zone page: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/ * Use the menu on the right to add Code Snippet or Macros or Plugins. Another way to help is to create JIRA issue for macros, plugins, etc which are not already on the Code Zone and which are not listed in JIRA. Thanks a lot for your help. This will allow us to deliver 1.0 faster. -Vincent, on behalf of the XWiki dev team ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail r�invente le mail !
