smtp server setup
by jgehbauer＠gmail.com 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hello! I installed a new instance of xwiki on my local machine. I tried to set up the email notification but it didn't really work. In the XWiki Preferences I set the outgoing smtp server to several smtp servers such as smtp.google.com, smtp.comcast.net, etc. Howver, there seem to be some authentication issues and I get the following error message: *** Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Demo.SendMailTestPage Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'sendMessage' in class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki threw exception class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException : Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to server smtp.comcast.net port 25 error code 530 (530 Authentication required ) OR Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Demo.SendMailTestPage Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'sendMessage' in class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki threw exception class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException : Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to server smtp.gmail.com port 25 error code 530 (530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first h14sm757315wxd ) *** I also tried to use my own smtp server (hmailserver) but then I had some relay problems and the following error message: *** Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Demo.SendMailTestPage Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'sendMessage' in class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki threw exception class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException : Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to server mail.hmailserver.com port 25 error code 550 (550-207-105-15-139.ded.pacbell.net (XWiki version 0.9.840) 207.105.15.139? is 550-currently not permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not 550-logged into the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP 550 Authentication turned on in your email client. ) *** I have right now no idea how to resolve these issues. I would appreciate any help in setting up the smtp server for the email notification. Cheers, Jens

xwiki.com stats deactivated
by Ludovic Dubost 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hi, We got a new load of spam related hammering on xwiki.com. It is more and more horrible and creates more and more unuseful load on xwiki.com. Spam robots have included creation of XWiki accounts and use of these accounts to publish spam data in the wiki pages. I've had to deactivate statistics since each spam-related request that cannot be catched by mod_security creates load on the database for these statistics. The only way to get statistics back will be to use Javascripts which triggers a statistics storage request in the database (which would be ignored by spam robots and search engines), or to wait until we can read Google Analytics or another external statistics engine and redisplay it on xwiki.com. In the future we will propose a tutorial to activate Google Analytics on your wikis. If you know how to do it you should include this on your wiki pages to get statistics for your wiki. I'm getting more and more worried about these spam robots and would welcome any help and ideas on how to handle this to make xwiki.com a viable platform for hosted public wikis.

XWiki.com upgraded to 0.9.1252
by Ludovic Dubost 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi, We have just upgrade xwiki.com to version 0.9.1252 (available on ObjectWeb). If you are users of XWiki.com and you see anything special that could be caused by the upgrade, please contact us at support-en(a)xwiki.com Version 1252 has many changes under the hood and some in the user interface. The main changes from a user/admin perspective are: - the new WYSIWYG editor which is compatible with Wiki syntax. - the Rights page which now contains select fields The WYSIWYG Editor is still in beta state. It is not activated by default but can be called using the "switch to WYSIWYG Editor" link in the edit page. You can activate the wysiwyg editor by default in the XWiki Preferences in the "editor" section. Under the hood, maybe other changes are now available including better performance by generating less queries to the database. New plugins and APIs are also available for programmers. We will talk more about these a little later when we officially release this version. We are now working to integrate: - AntiSpam measures (using JCaptcha) - as a new registration and invitation system which should be more easy to use and flexible. - editing by sections We will of course all fix any bugs in the features of 1252 and work is also in progress for a new layout and skin.

xwiki.org homepage fiddled with

You may wish to limit editing access to your front page. No serious damage, but I wouldn't like for people I sent there to be confused, even by a little harmless tampering. Brian M. Thomas - Senior Technical Architect AT&T Services, Inc. One SBC Center, Room 24D3 St. Louis, MO 63101 314 235 3141

translations, loogging
by Michael Redinger 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hi, I would like to translate xwiki to german. The current translation is not complete and sometimes wrong (or at least somewhat strange). However, I am a bit lost: I do not know where to find the translation files (or database entries?), how to change them (and where to transmit my changes, if I get this right). Can anyone give me a quick introduction? I am using the development version 0.9.1252 Second, I also tried to enable some logging for xwiki. I found various documents on the web pointing me to WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties. However, this file does not exist in the development version.

Roll Back
by Robin Johnson 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

We rolled back our front page to view an earlier version and now we can't roll it forward again, the history page says "cannot read document version". Why is this? Is it likely to change or should we re-write the front page? Is this problem likely to occur when we are paying for the service. Robin

Error registering user: xwiki.com
by Esbach, Brandon 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Hi all, I've recently added an xwiki.com xwiki for my company and I'm getting an error when I try to register users: Error: An error occured during the registration process (-1). Xwiki: daiwa.xwiki.com Excluding the "How much" question, I fill in the same data on my offline Xwiki with no problems. Also, I managed to successfully register a user before the xwiki.com server was down yesterday using same fields (different details) - so at one time this did work. <<PBrush>> This is happening regardless of username/password/etc. Brandon Esbach Software Engineer M/A-Com Eurotec Operations LoughMahon Technology Park, Skehard Road, Blackrock, Cork, Ireland Tel +353 21 4808305

XWiki in eXo
by Scrut Inizer 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Has anyone deployed XWiki in eXo v2 (the current version)? When I tried that a few weeks ago all I got was exceptions. A few days ago, the eXo portlet container 1.3 and the final release of the complete eXo v2 ECM bundle was released. Did you try to deploy XWiki in there already? Thanks s.
