Re: [xwiki-users] In the XE Manager, how is the control site selected?
Hi Lee, I'm no expert on this by any means, but I suspect that removing the Admin page (I assume you mean the XEM main page) will cause you problems in that you would find it difficult-impossible to administer your created Wikis (i.e the wikis in your 'farm') Why not just give your users the direct link to their wiki home page they want and leave the XEM wiki admin login for yourself. In my case I havent setup host/domain names (the default XEM approach) so I am using the URL approach to get to my wiki home pages - i.e. the pages the users are going to see and work in. So for me I use (assuming I'm at the server) I use custom port 8380 so you may need to change this your side, and of course the access IP as well. http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/bin/view/Main gets me to the Welcome to Wiki administrator page - the farm management page I then created ia 2 wikis - one called 'home' and the other 'projects' so now. http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/wiki/home gets me to my first wiki of the farm - which I called home http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/wiki/home gets me to the project specific wiki of the farm - to get the above working requires about 3 line edits in xwiki.cfg the docs for it are at http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/AccessWiki --- Alternatively there is the host/domain approach where I could have something like home.mydomain.local or projects.mydomain.local This is the default approach used by XEM. It looked to be a bit more RTFM to setup so I've skipped trying it for now. See http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/AccessWiki#HThedomainnamebasedwikiaccess HTH Cheers I want the first page that comes up on this wiki to be a custom page I made in lieu of this admin page. I tried to just edit the page, but it started throwing velocity exceptions... ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] In the XE Manager, how is the control site selected?
Manfred thanks for the response. It's so hard to try to get all the relevant facts in an email. In my situation, the main wiki site is operational with it's own home page. On the site I'm trying to recover, it also has the same main wiki homepage as the xwiki site. I think what I want to do is get rid of this page and replace it with a custom page. I'm just not sure how to do this.

I'm just not sure how to do this. Any wiki page is just a wiki page. Everything is a document, as our internal motto goes. To be on the safe side, start by renaming the current main page to a place where you'll find it when needed, and where it won't get in the way of your future busy happy workers. This is located in the Action-Rename menu entry (on the top of the page, if you have administrator rights). After that, when you go back to the main page it should be nice and empty (This document does not exist). You can indeed edit it, and put whatever content you want in it. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Note that the full host name is used to point the wiki and not the subdomain so your descriptor aliases has to be full host (wwwi.xwiki.org and not just www). Only when no descriptor is found the first part of the host (the subdomain most of the time) is used to match the wiki identifier. For example if code.xwiki.org can't match any wiki descriptor alias, XWiki is searching for a wiki called code (XWiki.XWikiServerCode page). See http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/AccessWiki for more details. Please advise.

I think I figured out what is going on. The correct virtual wiki that I requested via the url is coming up. What confused me is the first page that comes us should be a customized page I made. But instead, it's the Wiki Administrator page...making me think that I'm getting the main wiki and not the virtual wiki I selected. When I look in the index at the name of t he pages, I can confirm that I'm in the right wiki. The trouble began when I tried to install the Virtual Wiki Manager via a couple of different methods. Very confusing for me. This must have over laid my custom page. So I'm close to fixing this and I don't want to screw it up again. Can you coach me on how to correct this. I want the first page that comes up on this wiki to be a custom page I made in liueu of this admin page. I tried to just edit the page, but it started throwing velocity exceptions... Thanks for your help. What a relief.

I'm not sure what you are calling the control site but the main wiki which contains all the wikis descriptors has the identifier xwiki and can be always reached by accessing the wiki using the IP if you have doubt about your descriptors.
