Re: [xwiki-users] virtual workspaces

[Dan Svoboda]

Jerome,

I think I now have it working. I edited the database by changing the  
xwd_author, xwd_content_author, and xwd_creator fields in all entries  
in the xwikidoc table from 'XWiki.Admin' to 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin'.

e.g. UPDATE XWIKIDOC SET XWD_AUTHOR = 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin' WHERE 1=1;

I can create the main workspace, and other workspaces. I can also  
promote Simple members to Power user or Global admin.

Do you think I'll run into problems using this workaround?

Thanks,

Dan

 Could you run the following line from the manager wiki, and  
 verify it is actually "xwiki:XWiki.Admin" and not "XWiki.Admin" :

 $xwiki.getDocument("yourwiki:XWSCode.CreateNewWorkspace").author

 (where yourwiki is the wiki identifier you used for the  
 workspaces wiki).
 Also, can you look into the logs of the web app to see if there  
 is anything suspicious ?

 Thanks,
 Jerome.

Here's something that's going to be confusing. I wanted to make sure  
that the result from my previous post was not due to an error in the  
way I created the workspaces site from xem. So, I repeated the site  
creation, and ran the same script.

Result: xwiki:XWiki.Admin

Ok. Them, could you verify your admin has programming rights ?
Just write the following in a wiki page (using the wiki editor) :

<% print 2 + 2 %>

If it is interpreted, then your user has programming rights (and then I 
wonder what your problem can be...), if not, he does not.

 Hello Dan,

 Thank you for your interest in XWiki Workspaces.
 I took advantage of your question to write a complete tutorial on 
 how to setup a XWiki Workspaces farm:
 http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspacesFarm

 You had all the initial steps right, so you can jump directly to 
 the last section 
 (http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspacesFarm#HPreparingandimportingXWikiWorkspacesXAR)
  
 where I explain that several pages from the Workspaces XAR needs to 
 be saved with programming rights, and how you can "prepare" the XAR 
 to have this done automatically when importing it.

 A last step would be to create a template wiki or XAR package for a 
 smoother creation of XWiki Workspaces virtual instances. 
 Unfortunately we are sometimes facing an issue when doing this with 
 XWiki Workspaces, so I will only add this section once this is 
 resolved.

 Regards,
 Jerome.

Re: [xwiki-users] virtual workspaces

[Dan Svoboda]

I just realized something else. I went to the rights management page  
in xem, and found that the Admin *user* did not have programming or  
admin rights. So, I checked those boxes and went through the site  
creation process, but still no joy. :-(

So, to summarize, I've made a new site owned by the global admin user  
who has programming and admin rights. But still the same on the  
workspaces site.

No, I started with a completely fresh workspaces. No local Admin user.  
In fact, in the "Links" panel, the "My Profile" link points to the  
Admin user on the xem site.

 First time question.

 I've been using workspaces with success for several months. I'm  
 trying  to have several virtual xwiki-workspaces sites under the  
 enterprise  manager system.

 Here's what I've done:

 1. created a site from a war file using xwiki-workspaces-web-1.2-  
 milestone-1.war
 2. added the enterprise manager jar file to WEB-INF/lib
 3. added a line in xwiki.cfg to activate enterprise manager  
 plugin;  set xwiki.virtual=1
 4. created 'xwiki' database in mysql, gave xwiki user all rights  
 on  everything
 5. started tomcat, and navigated to bin/main/view/WebHome
 6. clicked on 'Administration' link, and arrived at the import page
 7. imported xwiki-enterprise-manager-wiki-administrator-1.3.xar
 8. created new site, giving Admin user all rights on new site,   
 uploading xwiki-workspaces-wiki-1.2-milestone-1.xar
 9. navigate to new site, and log in as Admin

 I used the workspaces war file for the main application since it  
 uses  v1.5.2 and enterprise manager war file would only supply  
 v1.5.1

 Here's the problem:

 While the Admin user on the workspaces site can edit things,   
 workspaces cannot be created. Moreover, on the user  
 administration  page, Administrator is listed as a simple member.  
 Also, the arrows to  promote members to power user or global  
 admin are missing. I'm able to  create users, but they're simple  
 users as well.

 Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Better reply to the list than to myself directly so that knowledge is 
available for everybody and searchable through the archives.

Concerning your problem, I have a question : did you imported the 
"prepared XAR" over an already imported XAR ? If this is the case, it 
means you were probably logged-in with the local administrator, and not 
the one from the manager wiki. In this case, you should first delete the 
local administrator (delete the XWiki.Admin page) and reimport the 
prepared xar, as global admin.

Hope this help, tell me if it was your problem.

Re: [xwiki-users] virtual workspaces

[Jerome Velociter]

Hello Dan,

Thank you for your interest in XWiki Workspaces.
I took advantage of your question to write a complete tutorial on how to 
setup a XWiki Workspaces farm:
http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspacesFarm

You had all the initial steps right, so you can jump directly to the 
last section 
(http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspacesFarm#HPreparingandimportingXWikiWorkspacesXAR)
 
where I explain that several pages from the Workspaces XAR needs to be 
saved with programming rights, and how you can "prepare" the XAR to have 
this done automatically when importing it.

A last step would be to create a template wiki or XAR package for a 
smoother creation of XWiki Workspaces virtual instances. Unfortunately 
we are sometimes facing an issue when doing this with XWiki Workspaces, 
so I will only add this section once this is resolved.

Regards,
Jerome.
