Re: [xwiki-users] virtual workspaces
Hello Dan, Better reply to the list than to myself directly so that knowledge is available for everybody and searchable through the archives. Concerning your problem, I have a question : did you imported the "prepared XAR" over an already imported XAR ? If this is the case, it means you were probably logged-in with the local administrator, and not the one from the manager wiki. In this case, you should first delete the local administrator (delete the XWiki.Admin page) and reimport the prepared xar, as global admin. Hope this help, tell me if it was your problem. Jerome.

Jerome,
Thanks for taking the time to write the tutorial.
I believe that I've followed the instructions to the letter, but still have the same result as before.
I was a bit confused by the instruction to: "Connect to your newly create wiki, and *login with the credentials of an administrator of the manager wiki*."
After creating the empty wiki from the wiki manager (logged in as Admin), I then go directly to the new, empty wiki. I'm now able to import the archive that was prepared according to your instructions, by navigating to "/bin/admin/XWiki/Import". (Am I already logged in correctly, or do I have to log out and re-log in as some other user name? I tried xwiki:Admin, and that gave an error.)
After importing the archive, I still can't create workspaces, the Admin user is still listed as a Simple Member, and the arrows to promote members to Power User or Global Admin are still not present.
Cheers,
Dan
Hello Dan,
Thank you for your interest in XWiki Workspaces. I took advantage of your question to write a complete tutorial on how to setup a XWiki Workspaces farm: http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspaces...
You had all the initial steps right, so you can jump directly to the last section (http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspaces...) where I explain that several pages from the Workspaces XAR needs to be saved with programming rights, and how you can "prepare" the XAR to have this done automatically when importing it.
A last step would be to create a template wiki or XAR package for a smoother creation of XWiki Workspaces virtual instances. Unfortunately we are sometimes facing an issue when doing this with XWiki Workspaces, so I will only add this section once this is resolved.
Regards, Jerome.

First time question.
I've been using workspaces with success for several months. I'm trying to have several virtual xwiki-workspaces sites under the enterprise manager system.
Here's what I've done:
1. created a site from a war file using xwiki-workspaces-web-1.2- milestone-1.war 2. added the enterprise manager jar file to WEB-INF/lib 3. added a line in xwiki.cfg to activate enterprise manager plugin; set xwiki.virtual=1 4. created 'xwiki' database in mysql, gave xwiki user all rights on everything 5. started tomcat, and navigated to bin/main/view/WebHome 6. clicked on 'Administration' link, and arrived at the import page 7. imported xwiki-enterprise-manager-wiki-administrator-1.3.xar 8. created new site, giving Admin user all rights on new site, uploading xwiki-workspaces-wiki-1.2-milestone-1.xar 9. navigate to new site, and log in as Admin
I used the workspaces war file for the main application since it uses v1.5.2 and enterprise manager war file would only supply v1.5.1
Here's the problem:
While the Admin user on the workspaces site can edit things, workspaces cannot be created. Moreover, on the user administration page, Administrator is listed as a simple member. Also, the arrows to promote members to power user or global admin are missing. I'm able to create users, but they're simple users as well.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

No, I started with a completely fresh workspaces. No local Admin user. In fact, in the "Links" panel, the "My Profile" link points to the Admin user on the xem site. Dan On Sep 29, 2008, at 10:03 AM, Jerome Velociter wrote:

Ok. Them, could you verify your admin has programming rights ? Just write the following in a wiki page (using the wiki editor) : <% print 2 + 2 %> If it is interpreted, then your user has programming rights (and then I wonder what your problem can be...), if not, he does not.

Indeed, it must be something else, and I could not reproduce this behavior :( Could you run the following line from the manager wiki, and verify it is actually "xwiki:XWiki.Admin" and not "XWiki.Admin" : $xwiki.getDocument("yourwiki:XWSCode.CreateNewWorkspace").author (where yourwiki is the wiki identifier you used for the workspaces wiki).

Jerome, I think I now have it working. I edited the database by changing the xwd_author, xwd_content_author, and xwd_creator fields in all entries in the xwikidoc table from 'XWiki.Admin' to 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin'. e.g. UPDATE XWIKIDOC SET XWD_AUTHOR = 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin' WHERE 1=1; I can create the main workspace, and other workspaces. I can also promote Simple members to Power user or Global admin. Do you think I'll run into problems using this workaround? Thanks, Dan On Sep 29, 2008, at 11:57 AM, Jerome Velociter wrote:
