New subject: [xwiki-users] some xwiki problems.

12 Dec 2005

Hi all,

i encountered some problems using the xwiki and hope
you can help me. i downloaded the latest xwiki version
and installed everything using a postgresql database 
and a tomcat 5.0.29.

The following problems occured: 

1. The page 
   http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome
   could not be opened for some reason. the browser
   keeps loading and loading, but nothing happens, 
   not even a timeout.
   The same problem exists for the "Blog" link:
   http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/WebHome

   However the page 
   http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/Menu
   can be opened without problems. Logging in as Admin
   user does work, too. So DB cannot be the problem.

   Any ideas about this problem?

2. I deleted some page in the wiki, which resulted in 
   lots of execption that i cannot get rid of. at the moment
   i cannot change anything due to this problem. the exception
   is 
    org.hibernate.AssertionFailure: possible nonthreadsafe access to session
        at
org.hibernate.action.EntityDeleteAction.execute(EntityDeleteAction.ja
        va:68)
        at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.execute(ActionQueue.java:239)
        ....
        .... 
        at
org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransaction.commit(JDBCTransaction.java
        :86)
        at
com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateStore.endTransaction(XWikiHibernate
        Store.java:350)
        at
com.xpn.xwiki.store.XWikiHibernateStore.deleteXWikiCollection(XWikiHi
        bernateStore.java:982)

   If you need the full exception, tell me. 

3. I changed the language under "More Actions" -> "Web Preferences"
from
"en" to 
   "de". After that it was no longer possible to change anything under
"Presentation"
   the definition for the "XWiki Wiki Web", ... , "Top Menu",
"HTTP Meta
Information"
   we all empty and thus could not be edited. Changing the language back to 
   "en" does not work, because i am getting the errors mentioned in 2.)

4. When editing a page i can select the preview, which will show me a
preview of the
   page, which is nice. However the preview page does not contain a back
button, that
   takes me back to the edit page. there is only a save button. so, if i do
not want
   to save the page i have to use the back button of the browser, which is
neither
   good nor consistent. Adding a back button in the html page back to the
preview 
   page would be really appreciated.

So, my biggest problems are 1.) and 2.) at the moment. i'd really appreciate
if
you could help me, because i have to set up a wiki and want to use one
written
in java and xwiki seems to be best non-commercial java wiki. 

regards,
Andreas
