Hello, I am trying to install a virtual wiki by following the steps given in "Creating a virtual XWiki environment" - everything worked fine except the very last step - for some reason I cannot import the .xar file in the virtual wiki. I select it and it appears in the list under "Select the file you wish to import", but when click on the file name, instead of seeing all the objects with the checkboxes, I get an error message "The page cannot be displayed" and in the address of the opened page: javascript:void() Any idea how to solve this problem? (I had the .xar file successfully imported in the main wiki (the controller). Thanks, Darina

Hi Ricardo, Thanks so much for your hint re web browsers! Mozilla wasn't installed on the web server where I was deploying the wiki, and I used Microsoft IE - obviously that caused the problem. I just installed Mozzila and tried again and everything worked properly. (I use Tomcat 5.5 and MySQL 5.0) The only problem I still have is that the virtual wiki is not visible from outside campus (the main wiki is visible), perhaps this is related to the way the network pointer has been set by the system admin? Thanks again!

Hi, Darina, As you know this is a very generic error message, so I think some more research is due to see what is happening there. I can think of: 1. What XWiki release are you installing? What servlet container? I don't know it these could matter here, but it is always useful information for people eager to help here! 2. Could you reimport the .xar file into the controller (just try with some documents)? 3. Does this happens with several web browsers?

Hi Ricardo, Thanks for your comments on accessing the virtual server from outside the campus; I will contact our network admin. As to the IE version on the server machine, it is 6.0.3790.0. The error was only in rendering the page upon clicking on the loaded file name, I believe, not in the import itself. Anyway, I don't have problems with opening other virtual wiki's pages with IE from client computers. Thanks again for your help!

Great. But, it would be good to known why IE is not able to correctly import the .xar in a virtual xwiki... Provided it is a server the box you where using to do the import, perhaps an old IE release installed there? In any case, I don't know what is the difference, if any, between importing a .xar in the controller and in a virtual wiki. Perhaps anybody else could help here. As for accessing the server from outside the campus: only your network administrator can have the whole answer. Perhaps your administrator is using a private DNS server to resolve host names within the campus nerwork and the host name of virtual server is not public. I'm guessing you are able to ping the controller from outside the campus, but you can't reach the virtual server. And you can ping both from any computer within the campus. If you only can access your virtual server from a browser in the same box, I bet the host name of the virtual server is defined in the hosts file of the server.
