Re: [xwiki-users] migrating from .war to Debain apt package

[Eduard Moraru]

Hi,

Regarding your original question (Distribution Wizard not showing), there's
a troubleshooting section [1] in the documentation that maybe helps.

Regarding the rights issue, in the screenshot you`ve posted [2] I notice
that both the creator and last author are not set, so there is a problem
with your documents (the xar import process or something), but your
document's content author is surely not well set.

As an example, go to Main.Activity and it will probably say that it does
not have PR/SR. Now edit the page in wiki syntax and add an extra space in
the content . You need to do this otherwise an empty save does not change
the internal "content author" (which is used for checking PR/SR), just the
"last author".

You could try the "Check content author" [3] extension/snippet that can
help you debug these issues.

Thanks,
Eduard

I "fixed" the distribution wizard issue by installing the 7.3 admin xar

There was no xar import process for the rest of the content, it was an
upgrade to an existing database, I "fixed" the problem by editing the
page (a space page), and then reverting to the previous version.

Hi,

Make sure you read the error message that says "Check the rights of its
last author" (i.e. no the creator). Script rights are checked on the last
content author of the document and, if in your migration you haven`t given
script rights to that user, all his scripts will stop functioning.

Hope this helps,
Eduard

Hi Eduard,

As I posted, I have read the error message, and although I have the
script right, I see the error.

I also still see the error if I save the page...

pastebins of the text

They all have "org.xwiki.rendering.macro.MacroExecutionException: The

Can you copy the text of the error that you get when clicking?

[xwiki-users] migrating from .war to Debain apt package

[shouldbe q931]

Hi,

I'm struggling with migrating a 6.3 .war instance to a Debian
APT/package 7.3 instance.

I had hoped I would be able to install as per
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationViaAPT
choosing the xwiki-enterprise-tomcat7-mysql package, then edit
hibernate.cfg.xml to point at the existing (external) MySQL instance
hosting the database, then edit server.xml, xwiki.cfg and
xwiki.properties to match the previous.

The new instance connects, and after editing xwiki.cfg, I can login as
superadmin, the previously setup LDAP auth not working), I was
expecting to see the xwiki updater run, but it did not, and the top
bar of xwiki is empty, it only has the logo on the far left and the
three little lines on teh far right under which the only option is
logout.

Do I need to to do a .war update to get it up to 7.3 before migrating
to a Debian APT/package instance ? or is there something that I have
missed ?

I'm sure others will have better hints, and your log could help, but I'd
start by stopping the server, restoring the DB backup, then start it up.

Most of the spaces are fine, but there are three that look like
http://pasteboard.co/8zJUMYt.png

I have confirmed that the rights on the spaces with the error are the
same as the rights on the spaces that do not show the error

Hi Paul,

I'm fairly sure that none of the standard logs will help me with this
as the tomcat/java side is working correctly, it is the xwiki
application which is not seeing that the db needs to be updated.

I have already stopping tomcat, rolling back to a previous database
snapshot and retrying, but did not see any improvement.

I imported the 7.3 xar, and now it looks much better :-)

Importing the xar did not wipe content or groups, but did wipe rights
and LDAP config, wit the LDAP config recreated and the rights
correctly set, it appears to up and running :-)
