Hi everyone,

somehow I created Spaces with broken Umlauts like: Gesch�������¤ftsf�������¼hrung or Gesch�¤ftsf�¼hrung see screenshot: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10128532/Schnappschuss%20%282012-12-13%2013.29.05%2...

I cannot delete those. They are empty but after deleting from the spaces menu they still stay in the Spaces-Lists (i.e. on the Dashboard).

Is there any way to get rid of them manually (Using Tomcat/MySQL)

For Tomcat, you should follow this guide: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat Very important step:

Edit your conf/server.xml to set UTF-8 encoding: <Connector port="8080" ... URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

(if you're using mod_proxy_ajp in front of it, then set URIEncoding for the 8009 connector as well) -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Hi Sergiu,

that's all set - from the beginning - nevertheless i do have the described problem.

OK, so if the connector encoding is not the problem, you could try and delete those documents with a script. First, you have to find out what's the real document name. Use something like this: {{velocity}} #foreach ($d in $xwiki.searchDocuments("where doc.space like 'Gesch%'")) #set ($d = $xwiki.getDocument($d)) | $d.space | $d.fullName #end {{/velocity}} Once you get the right name for the bad documents, you have to delete them from another script: {{velocity}} #xwiki.getDocument('fullName copied from the list above').delete() {{/velocity}} There is still the question of how those documents came into existence... Make sure all the settings on the encoding guide http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Encoding are correct.

Hi Ole, I was faced to a similar problem this days. Umlauts have blocked the removement via the web interface. I've tryed the scripts from Sergiu Dumitriu without luck, too. But with these little mods they run fine: *Change "BEGIN UMLAUTS TITLED SPACE%" in that way that you get only the ones with the wrong space title back* {{velocity}} #foreach ($d in $xwiki.searchDocuments("where doc.space like 'BEGIN UMLAUTS TITLED SPACE%'")) #set ($d = $xwiki.getDocument($d)) $d.fullName #end {{/velocity}} Then exchange *$d.fullName* by *$d.delete()* and run the script again. This removes all Spaces like 'BEGIN UMLAUTS TITLED SPACE%' without confirmation and success message. {{velocity}} #foreach ($d in $xwiki.searchDocuments("where doc.space like 'BEGIN UMLAUTS TITLED SPACE%'")) #set ($d = $xwiki.getDocument($d)) $d.delete() #end {{/velocity}} Thank you Sergiu Dumitriu for sharing. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Delete-Spaces-with-broken-Umlauts-tp758286...
