Re: [xwiki-users] Ratings Application not working

Thanks for your reply. I have reinstalled the ratings extension multiple times, but with no effect. Maybe the problem is the container restarting. If I restart the xwiki container I´m getting a Apache/Tomcat error: javax.servlet.ServletException: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context So I need to restart the whole Tomcat to get my XWiki working again. Could this be the problem? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Ratings-Application-not-working-tp7379389… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1.1 "LDAP service is not available. Please verify your installation."
by shouldbe q931 10 Sep '12

upgrading from 3.5 on tomcat6 with mysql and LDAP auth against AD OS is Ubuntu 10.0.4 only "customisation" was in hibernate.cfg.xml for database and xwiki.cfg for LDAP and lucene path backed up database downloaded and unzipped new war file stopped tomcat moved webapps/xwiki to a backup location put the new xwiki in webapps/xwiki edited hibernate.cfg.xml: xwiki.cfg and xwiki.properties to match previous removed the LDAP config apart from xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 started up tomcat logged in as local admin imported new admin.xar imported all of it, (well I'd upgraded this install quite a few times and wanted a "clean sheet") changed admin user password changed rights to prevent unregistered users imported the new ldap.xar go to setup LDAP get error "LDAP service is not available. Please verify your installation." logout as local admin login as superadmin and get same errror documentation here http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP+Application links to here http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HLDAPAut… which doesn't have anything specific google searches for the error don't have anything remotely useful all pages are in place and database looks good, but the lack of LDAP auth is a bit of a pain any suggestions, or should I go back to 3.5 and upgrade to 4.1.1 without the LDAP .xar ?

[xwiki-users] Problem Migrating Database from XWiki Ent 3.5.1 to 4.1.3 for MSSQL

[xwiki-users] xwiki.mailsender.sendHtmlMessage in scheduled job
by Nicolas Sanitas 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi all, is there something special to accomplish when sending mails in a scheduled Job? This line : xwiki.mailsender.sendHtmlMessage("test(a)test.com","toto(a)toto.com",xwiki.null,xwiki.null,"Nouveaux articles",xwiki.getDocument("Blog.Newsletter").getRenderedContent(),"",[]) sends mail when executed in a 'normal' page, whereas nothing happens when the same code is pasted in the job treatment field of a scheduled job (without groovy tag)... I precise that the scheduled job is planified, and we couldn't see anything wrong in its status. Thx for the help, Nicolas
