[xwiki-users] [Resend] Distributed architecture with MySQL

2008-04-28 Thread Dowson_Jim
(got a bounce from the listserv, so I am resending)

Are there any specific directions on setting up a distributed
xwiki/MySQL deployment?

I am following the steps I was able to find in the administration guide
on xwiki.org, but I am getting some 'surprising' results.

Before I ask the questions here, I wanted to make sure I was using the
'right' directions.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

 I don't think there's a risk, but you may want to add

 contains:?editor= to your list... 
 At worse it will make indexing faster.

I understand the ?editor= pattern.

I'm concerned that first three might wildcard exclude too much.

Can you provide additional guidance on the url pattern so that a page
called delete%20an%object is not included, for example?

Thanks, Guillaume.

Re: [xwiki-users] Roadmap for XE 1.4

  - proper versioning (if 2 different users upload the same
document name)

 What's not working with versioning of attachments? I don't recall  
 seeing a problem about this.

It might only be under 1.2 - but if someone downloads an attachment
created by a different user, updates it  then uploads the file under
the same name, it does not appear as a version of the prior document -
it's a new document. 

To get around this we had to have folks doing updates to authenticate
under the same username (for one particular document).

  - Table of contents macro a la mediawiki

 Already exists (unless the mediawiki one does something we don't). See

 http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/TocMacro

Yes, but No :-) I mean with the same show/wide-in-a-box functionality.

When creating large pages, this becomes very important - and the toc
macro needs a nice wrapper around it ... like mediawiki has ;-) 

  - WebDAV would be nice...

 Yep. We're planning to do that one as part of the Google Summer of  
 Code so that's probably going to be more for XE 1.5 or later.

It can definitely wait until 1.5 or later - I was only wishing. 

 We're looking to contribute the notion of a simple reputation engine
 (user and content rating) that we have in prototype now.

 Very cool!

How should we best do this? Show the code here (or devs)?

The last time I played with xwiki.org, I got slapped :-) (and rightfully
so!)

[xwiki-users] The right way to present the Lucene search engine?

2008-03-10 Thread Dowson_Jim
If I wanted to have a page that presented the Lucene search engine (a la
the Google home page), what is the 'right' way to do this?

 

I'm guessing that it's to #include Main.Search ?

 

Thanks in advance.

[xwiki-users] Problem using 'delete space' snippet

[xwiki-users] Another language question

2008-03-06 Thread Dowson_Jim
Can xwiki handle page entries in different languages as parallel entries
(similar to mediawiki/Wikipedia)?

 

e.g. see 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMC_Corporation,
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMC_Corporation ,
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMC_Corporation etc...

 

I'm looking for a way to support international access and collaboration.

 

Also, are people using simple Chinese to support Japanese users?

 

Thanks in advance...

 An MS Word document. 

 The error also happened with a 6.5 MB zip file - so the xwiki limit
of
 10MB may not be the issue (although documents larger than the alleged
 1MB MySQL limit have been successfully uploaded). 

Thus, the problem may arise from the amount of memory available for 
Java. What servlet container are you using? I've seen this error here 
running Tomcat. You can increase this amount by passing this parameter 
-Xmx256m -Xms256m (in this case 256Mb will be the new amount of 
available memory) at startup time.

I'll have to check with the lab folks - I believe they started with the
1.2M2 Windows complete build, then upgraded to 1.2RC2.

I will let you know after I have heard from them. 

I wanted to make the changes one step at a time to isolate the root
cause.

So, you have to shutdown your servlet container, modify some script to 
startup.sh, catalina.sh or whatever your are using to launch Tomcat, to

add this paramenters to CATALINA_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS. I have not a clear

idea about what is the right variable to be modified. Any feedback will

be really welcome.

 Here is the script I am using here to start Tomcat:

mire:/home/webmaster/bin # cat start_tomcat6
#!/bin/sh
export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat-6.0.10
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/java/jre-1.6.0_01
export JRE_HOME=/usr/share/java/jre-1.6.0_01
export CATALINA_OPTS=-Xmx512m -Xms512m
export JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx512m -Xms512m
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

As per your question about the need of restarting XWiki so that the new

configuration values become effective. Yes, this is required. xwiki.cfg

is read at deployment time. So if you have any utility that allow you
to 
restart just one application, you are a lucky person :-) If you have
not 
it, just restart the servlet container.

I expected that to be the case - and the FAQ should be updated to
reflect that 
(I didn't consider myself as authoritative, so I didn't want to edit the
entry). 

I would also suggest that the error code (Java ) be added to the
text as well.

I am sure there are people out there with a much more in depth
knowledge 
about this issue. But this has helped me. I hope it could be useful for

you as well.

Perhaps, but by speaking, you're the most effective person ;-)

I'll update you (here) after we apply the changes and test again.

Thanks for your help!

 Hi,


http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/Howtoincreasethemaximumattachmen
tsize

Thanks - I have modified the xwiki preferences (as described) - does XE
need to be restarted for it to take effect?

(I haven't changed mySQL yet) - but will do some more testing first.


Just curiosity, what kind of file are you uploading? An image? Thanks.

An MS Word document. 

The error also happened with a 6.5 MB zip file - so the xwiki limit of
10MB may not be the issue (although documents larger than the alleged
1MB MySQL limit have been successfully uploaded). 

I'm going to test again, then look at the MySQL params...

Thanks

[xwiki-users] Whitespace in tags?

2008-01-07 Thread Dowson_Jim
I am having trouble with whitespace handling in tags (1.1.2  1.2RC2 on
Windows 2003 and Windows XP locally  - and even on xwiki.org itself).

 

tag1|tag2|word3 word4 

 

becomes

 

tag1|tag2|word3|word4

 

 

and

 

tag1|tag2|tag 3|tag 4

 

becomes

 

tag1|tag2|tag|3|tag|4 

 

 

I would consider this a bug - am I wrong?

 

[I used the object properties in the object editor and the tag dialog
box in page wiki edit mode with the same result]
