Backups of xwiki wikis?
by Vincent Massol 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hi there, I have already asked this question some time back but I didn't get a definitive answer and I'm getting a bit worried: Are the xwiki wikis on xwiki.org (for example mavenbook.xwiki.org) backupped? If so how often? Thanks a lot -Vincent PS: I've also tried the script that Jeremi gave me and it seems there's an error somewhere in it. I'll contact Jeremi.

Dots in document name
by Jiri Luzny 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hi, for some types of documents published on XWiki we would like to use naming convention where there is a major version included in a name of the document e.g. 'SomeSpace.Document-0.1'. The problem is that the XWiki then resolves it like this 'SomeSpace.Document-0/1' instead of expected 'SomeSpace/Document-0.1'. I would like to ask whether there is a specific reason why name of Web(Space) is substringed from the beginning to the last position of '.' and not the first position of '.'? Thank you, Jiri.

Ability to change xwiki directories
by Lilianne E. Blaze 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hello, For a project I work on I need ability to change all (or most) of XWiki directories, basically I need to: 1. Move everything from /WEB-INF/ to /WEB-INF/xwiki 2. Move everything from / to /xwiki 3. Everything in /WEB-INF/classes and /WEB-INF/lib can obviously remain where it is. 4. Merge two web.xml 5. Normally XWiki would have "/" directory on "/xwiki" context. What I need is for it to have "/xwiki" directory on "/" context. Why: To be able to place XWiki on the same ServletContext as the main project, while maintaining "separate" directory structure. I have to use custom RightService and UserService which has to have access to main project's data through the ServletContext, so both this project and XWiki have to share the ServletContext, effectively being one web-app from container's point of view. How: I was thinking about: 1. Modifying the default initialization so XWiki first tries to load /WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg, then if it fails /WEB-INF/xwiki/xwiki.cfg. 2.1. Having the ability to specify each configuration file (like hibernate.xml, velocity.properties) path in xwiki.cfg. or 2.2. Doing the same for every configuration file, first trying to load it from /WEB-INF/, then from /WEB-INF/xwiki/ (I think it's less prone to errors) 3. Changing the top-level directories (like /templates/) paths from xwiki.cfg 4. Changing the Struts paths (like /bin/) Would such a functionality be welcome? I think I can do much work on my own, but I'll probably need some pointers now and then. Greetings, Lilianne E. Blaze

Read-only server mode
by Erwan Arzur 25 Jun '05

25 Jun '05

Hello, as the new admin/grunt/bofh for xwiki.com, i'll have soon to perform some administrative stuff on a running xwiki installation. During past experiences with such database intensive applications, i found out that most of the downtimes can be avoided by simply putting the whole server in read-only mode. I've put up a topic with requirements and implementation notes here : http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/ReadOnlyServer let me know what are you thoughts. I'm specifically looking for the best idea to appropriately explain users they are running on a read-only server. Thanks in advance, Erwan
