Thanks for your reply! Perhaps mappings were fixed in 1.0, in 1.1 there are serveral .js files containing the /xwiki path. There are some actions where you leave the /myrenamedxwikicontext, e.g. register new user. Maybe we're also going the virtual way, there is no decision yet. Thanks for your tip with usergroups, I will have a look at that. with best regards, Hanspeter -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Fri, 1 Jun 2007 10:58:57 +0100 Von: "Esbach, Brandon" <[email protected]> An: [email protected] Betreff: RE: [xwiki-users] must xwiki really be aware of its context?
I had thought the mappings were fixed in 1.0?
If you use multiple instances, bear in mind your memory usage will be considerably higher than a single instance. In our case, we switched over to virtual when XWiki 1.0b1 was released; before that we had several instances running.
As to workarounds, this depends on the reason you've got multiple xwiki instances - if it's just to separate projects; you could achieve the same by making careful use of usergroups on a single xwiki instance (if you use panels, you check group membership before rendering the panel then it won't show for non-members).
Naturally if one instance is to run locally and the other to run publicly, then it's easier - put the signature on the public one, and firewall the private one.

In the xwiki-documentation I read about virtual wikis and their installation-procedure. While this is a great idea for a big number of wikis, it has some disadvantages for a small number of instances:
- I need a wildcard-certificate (quite expensive) or X certificates for X wikis - Updates always take affect to each instances - An additional DNS-entry must be made for each instance (usually not the expertise of the wiki-administrator)
For me it would be gread to use different context-names: wiki.mycompany.com/projectx wiki.mycompany.com/projecty
This way, only one (no wildcard-) certificate is needed and a few instances would work on the same hardware. Unfortunately, some links/redirects are absolute (/xwiki/..) and so this is not possible.
Will this feature be available in future? Are there any workarounds available?
Thanks, Hanspeter
