[xwiki-users] Xwiki install: Websphere 6.1 & SQLserver
by david bessire 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hello, i've gotten my xwiki install running on Websphere 6.1 & SQLserver & just wanted to thank the gentleman that helpfully added his sql server configuration instructions to the site. Seems like the biggest change was converting VARCHAR columns> 8000 characters to TEXT columns, if i recall correctly. i still get two exceptions on startup, but they don't prevent using the wiki: a. Websphere still complains that it can't find EnumerateTei class file in the struts jar. (It legitimately doesn't appear to be there.) b. Websphere complains about a url mapping clash for three url mappings in web.xml. xwiki is quite nice. i particularly like the Eclipse integration feature. Thanks for getting my boss off my back!

[xwiki-users] HSQLDB
by goldring, richard 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hi, I had my xwiki linux pc crash on me during a powercut and the HSQLDB database seemed to revert to content that was on the xwiki several weeks ago. What's happened? Does hsqldb store data in memory and that is why the data has got lost when the power went? I thought it stored the data in xwiki_db.script? Anyone?

[xwiki-users] Export/Import/Backups
by goldring, richard 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hi, I had a problem with importing an XAR running xwiki-enterprise-1.1-milestone-3 and my WinZip program didn't recognise the XAR as zipped file like other XAR files. Is this a known problem? Has it been fixed in the latest releases? Is there anyway to recover the data in this 'corrupted' XAR? Could the Import/Export facility be develop to provide proper backups (as Confluence does) so you don't have to attach an XAR file to restore as a backup?

[xwiki-users] Hosted wiki - sending email
by Esbach, Brandon 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hi all, We've recently had a request for notifications on our hosted wiki; from the API documentation this should work (no errors are returned either when I call $xwiki.sendMessage). Problem is, I suspect either the message sending needs a specific configuration or sending is otherwise blocked (we use javamail on our own internal wiki, this is not possible it seems on hosted solution). How should this be configured for the hosted wiki farm? Brandon Esbach Software Engineer Wireless Systems Segment Tyco Electronics 4 Eastgate Road Eastgate Little Island Co.

[xwiki-users] Creating Class Error
by Campbell, Timothy D 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hello, For the past week and a half I have encountered the same error when I needed to create a class. (below) I only received this error this year because of my summer research assignment required this feature and it worked. I have tried two different versions of Apache Tomcat, reformatted my computer, used the most recent stable version and the previous version of XWiki. I even installed it on my computer at work and it still does the exact same error. What could the problem be? I followed each step carefully each time and checked the documentation for any help but no success. What could be the problem because this is holding back the progress of my research development? Thanks for your time, Tim Campbell Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page XWiki.Server Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'substring' in class java.lang.String threw exception java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 @ XWiki.Server4,26? <http://localhost/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/4%2C26?parent=XWiki.Server&editor=wys…> Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page XWiki.Server Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'substring' in class java.lang.String threw exception java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 @ XWiki.Server4,26? <http://localhost/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/4%2C26?parent=XWiki.Server&editor=wys…> com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page XWiki.Server Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'substring' in class java.lang.String threw exception java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 @ XWiki.Server4,26? <http://localhost/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/4%2C26?parent=XWiki.Server&editor=wys…> at com.xpn.xwiki.render.XWikiVelocityRenderer.evaluate(XWikiVelocityRenderer.java:148) at com.xpn.xwiki.render.XWikiVelocityRenderer.render(XWikiVelocityRenderer.java:91) at com.xpn.xwiki.render.DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.renderText(DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java:222) at com.xpn.xwiki.render.DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.renderText(DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java:154) at com.xpn.xwiki.render.DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.renderText(DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java:125) at com.xpn.xwiki.render.DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.renderDocument(DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java:117) at com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument.getRenderedContent(XWikiDocument.java:401) at com.xpn.xwiki.api.Document.getRenderedContent(Document.java:366) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) (I cut this short)

Hello Brandon, About the configuration i'm afraid I can't help much ; but I want to let you know we've recently introduced the mailsender as a platform plugin, which has much more capacities than xwiki.sendMessage (a really nice feature is to send mails against a template object in a regular XWiki document, which mailbody or subject fields can contains velocity that will be parsed on sending).

[xwiki-users] Error 500: Could not initialize main XWiki context
by Karim-Pierre Maalej 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi, I am currently trying to install XWiki on a linux machine (i486, ubuntu 7.10, java 6, mysql 5, tomcat 5.5, firefox) but I am faced to an error at the first run (see exception trace below). I have checked that the database is indeed running, that the login/password are accepted when logging manually, that the mysql java connector library is there (it wasn't there first, but I put it at the right place in /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib and the problem remains), that the configuration file says 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the connection.url field (as suggested in a previous similar problem found in the archives of this list)... I feel like I have exhausted all the solutions I could find online or figure out by myself today. So if any of you has an idea about what is wrong and where... your help will be very welcome :-) Thanks.
