Hi all,

perhaps someone has the same problem (hopefully already solved):

After migrating from 1.x to 2.x and now to 3.1 and 3.2 I have some problems :-(

a) All links to the xwiki Main-Space look like the following example:

xwiki:$s:MyPage

regardless if I use [[Main.MyPage]] or [[MyPage]] the only solution would be: [[MyPage>>Main.MyPage]]

If the page is not in the xwiki Main-Space everything works fine.

I see that your xwiki.properties file contains this: rendering.linkLabelFormat = %w:$s:%p This is the cause of problem a), and it seems to be partially intentional. This is a bad copy/paste from the documentation above, where it says that %w:%s:%p would be a possible format (notice that it says %s and not $s). Just remove that line from xwiki.properties and restart the container.

b) My Quicklinks Panel look horrible:

<https://www.smartics.eu/xwiki/bin/view/Administration/ServerAdministration>

Looks like it is in xwiki 1.0 Syntax, but 2.0 is expected. Is there a possibility to get to the history of the quicklinks panel, to restore my old one? Is there a posibillity to change the xwiki syntax for a panel?

Indeed, the document has been switched to the xwiki/2.0 syntax, while the content was preserved to the xwiki/1.0 syntax. You can either update the content to use the 2.0 syntax, or change back the document's syntax to 1.0. Actually I took the liberty to edit the panel myself, it should be working fine now.

c) And last but not least After logging in I am forwarded to: http://www.smartics.eu/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/%2Fxwiki%2Fbin%2Fview%2FM...

Looks like to be an apache problem, but i use ProxyPass to forward (proxy) all to my tomcat and RewriteEngine to redirect https:

80:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

ProxyPass /xwiki http://www.smartics.eu:8080/xwiki ProxyPassReverse /xwiki http://www.smartics.eu:8080/xwiki

443:

ProxyPass /xwiki http://www.smartics.eu:8080/xwiki ProxyPassReverse /xwiki http://www.smartics.eu:8080/xwiki

What happens: I go to http://www.smartics.eu/xwiki I am redirected to https://www.smartics.eu/xwiki I do the login: and than I am forwarded to http://www.smartics.eu/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/...... And here somehow the redirect to https does not work and the page can not be delivered, as apache states "Not Found". Looks like both (Rewrite and ProxyPass) are pypassed somehow.

But when I now enter manually (in the same browser) "https://www.smartics.eu/xwiki" I am logged in.

Any idea what might be wrong?

You shouldn't use proxy_http but proxy_ajp, which is faster and better for performance in general. The problem is that XWiki doesn't know that the connection was secure in the first place, since it sees the request on the 8080 port. Using the ajp protocol would fix this since it uses exactly the request that Apache received, with the right hostname and port. If mod_proxy_ajp is installed, it should be enough to just change the configuration from http://...:8080/ to ajp://...:8009/ There is a fix that doesn't involve switching the proxy protocol, but I don't remember it exactly. If you'd like to know it, I'll dig deeper, or someone more experienced with server setup could answer.

Any help to my problems would be highly appreciated.

Best wishes for the new year.

Best regards,

Anton Kronseder
