Re: [xwiki-users] Need help configuring xwiki for sql server; possible documentation error

[novnovice]

Hi and thanks for the reply.

For someone like myself who is very inexperienced with configuring java and
tomcat, it'd have been useful if there was a statement on the tomcat setup
page here something like this:

"Make sure you give enough memory to Java. The default memory settings for
tomcat are too low to install or run xwiki without issues. Recommended
settings are min 512 and max 1024" 

or something of that order.

"Make sure you give enough memory to Java” was noteworthy, I wondered about
it, but it didn't clue me in to the fact that out of the box tomcat defaults
to way too low.

[xwiki-users] What does "Version 8.4.3 is installed as dependency" mean?

[novnovice]

I wanted to import a word document to see how it does. I have xwiki 8.4.3.

The Office Importer Application needs to be installed, as far as I can tell.
Next to it's name it says 8.3, and in the header it has "Version 8.4.3 is
installed as dependency".  It does not have the blue Install button; instead
it says "Downgrade".

Dependencies listed are 
xwiki platform - office - importer 8.3 and then "version 8.4.3 is provided"
xwiki commons - component - api and then "version 8.4.3 is provided"

I have not found anything in the docs that explain what this means, although
I expect the info is there somewhere. Does it mean that I have to downgrade
my installation to 8.3 in order to get this extension to install? But
another extension "File Manager Application" does have the blue install
button; and it has many dependencies on apparently older extensions like
velocity macro 5.4.4.

I can't make sense of it. I've searched quite a bit and haven't found
anything relevant.

[xwiki-users] Is there an easy way to copy paste multiple images onto a page?

[novnovice]

One question I have about the very useful feature of xwiki is how to drag and
drop multiple images onto a page. Offhand xmarks seems to create an image
attachment called image.png; pasting another image onto the same page
overwrites the first image, using with the same name. Any way to have xwiki
increment the image names? I know I can attach the image and then reference
it in the page but it's more work.

Note that it’s really a minor change since if you clicked on the link you go to 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat#HOutOfMemoryError
 which explains it already…

I’ve modified the text to: "Make sure you [[give enough memory to 
Java>>#HOutOfMemoryError]] since by default Tomcat is configured with not 
enough memory for XWiki.” on 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat.

Would that have helped you?

Hi there,

I’m glad you found your problem.

Yes this is known and advertised but if we can make it more explicitly I’m all 
for it but we’ll need your help to tell where we should have put it.

Right now we have it in 2 places:
1) in the installation page: 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HHardwareandSoftwarerequirements
2) in the tomcat page: 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat ("Make 
sure you give enough memory to Java”, with a link).

Thanks

Re: [xwiki-users] Need help configuring xwiki for sql server; possible documentation error

[novnovice]

And a recommendation - make the 'provide enough memory for tomcat' statement
in the instructions a bit more explicit; possibly advise what I used,
512-1024. The out of the box tomcat memory settings are very low. 

Generally the xwiki setup instructions are very good. Thank you.

Re: [xwiki-users] Need help configuring xwiki for sql server; possible documentation error

[novnovice]

Finally, success. Almost for certain the issue was lack of memory for tomcat.
With min 512 and max 1024 xwiki is running normally. 

The part of this long thread that is not about tomcat memory, I'd guess, is
the fact that the hibernate instructions for mssql may be incomplete, and
that I couldn't get the jtds driver to work.
