Hi. I am shifting my wiki into another computer. I wish to retain the same state of the wiki as it is now - the same registered users, document pages, preferences etc. Could I just copy-paste the wiki files ? :) Harikrishnan -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Shifting-to-a-new-computer-tf4676458.html#a13361084 Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Export the contents of your XWiki in a XAR, import the XAR back in your new XWiki :-) You can search for "Import" on XWiki.org to find out more about this topic. Guillaume On 23/10/2007, V. Harikrishnan Nair <harikrishnan_v(a)amritatech.com> wrote:

I usally do it the long way round: 1) Disable tomcat/other-java-container 2) Full backup of database. MySQL has this feature as part of it's admin gui. 3) Move xwiki folder from the old tomcat server to the new one. Make sure tomcat is disabled on new server. 4) Restore database to the new server. Create username and assign permissions. You may need to do some configuration updates to allow the import of large data. 5) Start tomcat on new server, and login. I have a document for each of my main wiki classes so that each can be qualified - I do this for each new release that we use in the plant as well. -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of "Víctor A.

I've got a small doubt. Right now, the database configuration in the hibernate.cfg.xml is using the one shown below and not the MySQL (which is commented) - <property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:file:database/xwiki_db;shutdown=true</property> <property name="connection.username">sa</property> <property name="connection.password"></property> <property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property> <property name="connection.provider_class">com.xpn.xwiki.store.DBCPConnectionProvider</property> <property name="connection.pool_size">2</property> <property name="statement_cache.size">2</property> Does this mean that it is not using a database currently? I had tried to configure it to MySQL now but on restart it showed an error (refer to 'Error on restart' by me). Is it safe to configure a MySQL database in the new computer and import the xar file ?

Sorry but I cannot really help on this. I've been using XWiki with MySQL from the beginning, so I really don't know that much about HSQL-DB. Vito V. Harikrishnan Nair wrote:

Could this helps? http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/ch01.html Depending in the platform you are using as client OS, you will have a number of options to connect/read/write data to/from your hsqldb database. You have already seen in the connection.url property in hibernate.cfg.xml that XWiki is using JDBC to connect to the database. Not only to hsqldb but also to MySQL. Thus, you can use any other client using JDBC. A simple OpenOffice JDBC connection could work. Cheers, -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your XEN ICT Team

Hi Hari, As suggested just export and re-import from the Administration page. Someone mentioned that the export feature is broken. I haven't found so. I think this person meant that it's not working only when trying to import an old XWiki 0.9 version in a new 1.1 version. AFAIK it's not broken in 1.1. I'll double check when I'm at my desk again (offline now). Re HSQLDB yes, you can also very simply copy the $XWIKINSTALLDIR/ database/ directory to the new computer too but the import/export will work between any databases and should be preferred. That's unless your database is so big that it becomes unpractical and then pure database import/export solution should be used. But I don't think this is your case from what I see.

I mentioned it :-) and just to make it clear : - the broken one is the import functionality (IMHO). Just take a look at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1809 (I think that at least someone else couldn't make it work). It didn't work for me in 1.1.4918 but it throws a NullPointerException - the export functionality now works on 0.9 (I mean it is documented how to make it work in http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HFillingitwithd…) HTH -- Víctor A.

Could you please explain a bit more your case? In the case of Marc Lijour it didn't work because he was importing from a 0.9 version.

The problem seems to be importing from a 0.9 version (importing from 1.0 should work fine I think). -Vincent

But there should be a place visible to the human eye where all the data is stored :) ! I had a problem with the script which I replaced but the data is missing... I want to try to copy-paste the default HSQL database (wherever it is). If this works, then I can say that XWiki is the most friendly wiki I have ever come across ! I could even create a document 'In case of errors' or 'shifting your wiki' or 'creating an easy backup' !!! :) Vitantonio Messa wrote:

Sorry for 'turning a blind eye', Vincent, thank you for pointing it out. But I do not understand - if you meant copying C:/xwiki/.../database, it did not work. There was a problem with the script (which I replaced). I do not know what $XWIKINSTALLDIR means otherwise (Is it velocity language ?). thank you for being so patient with me.

Copying database/ works fine. I've done it countless times. Of course if you tampered with the files inside database/ then you're on your own. Database data should never be modified directly. $XWIKINSTALLDIR is where you installed XE (that's if you've used the standalone installation). Anyway if you found the database/ directory then you know where the HSQLDB files are stored. Thanks -Vincent

Hi. The same thing has happened to me too. I had run xwiki without changing the conf.xml file first. When I changed the database after the very first call I got the error you mentioned below. My guess is that when you run it for the first time, it 'sticks' to the database it sees first and refuses to let go... :) I suggest you export a backup xar file (if you have any data) from your running wiki, then install a new wiki with your database, see if it works and then import the xar file. Keep the old installation, just in case, if you want to tinker around with it. Harikrishnan Hammonds,John,ST LOUIS,Engineering wrote:

I can get the apache page but when I click xwiki home I get the error listed below. One strange thing is when I comment the mysql database back, it allows me to view the xwiki but when I uncomment like the directions say, it does not work. What could be the problem? Thanks, Tim javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: Could not create a DBCP pool org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processException (RequestProcessor.java:535) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform (RequestProcessor.java:433) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process (RequestProcessor.java:236) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java: 1196) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:414) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter.doFilter (SetCharacterEncodingFilter.java:117) root cause com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document XWiki.XWikiPreferences Wrapped Exception: Could not create a DBCP pool com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getMainXWiki(XWiki.java:247) com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getXWiki(XWiki.java:397) com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiAction.execute(XWikiAction.java:94) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform (RequestProcessor.java:431) org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process (RequestProcessor.java:236) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java: 1196) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:414) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter.doFilter (SetCharacterEncodingFilter.java:117) <winmail.dat> _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

New subject: [xwiki-users] Blog

Hey, I created a page (People) in my xwiki and I am trying to incorporate another blog for that with forms and a Blog.Macro. I was successful on creating the page and forms but it continues to post to the original blog rather than a new one like I want. Any suggestions on what I can do so I will have two blogs in the same wiki? Thanks for your time, Tim
