1 1 Configuration
2
3 One you have XWiki [installed>Installation] you'll want to configure it. Configuration can be done in 2 ways:
4
5 * by stopping the XWiki instance and editing the ~~xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg~~ file, and then restarting XWiki
6 * by logging in as a user with admin rights and going to the Administration page (when using the XWiki 1.0 skin, there's a an "Administration" link in the top right corner of the screen - You can also go directly to ~~http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences~~). This allows to keep the Server running while making the changes.
7
8 Note that some configurations are only accessible from the ~~xwiki.cfg~~ file and have no equivalent on the Administration page.
9
10 There are various things you can configure:
11
12 #toc("" "" "")
13
14 1.1 Enable superadmin account
15
16 Edit the <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt> file and enable the <tt>xwiki.superadminpassword</tt> property. For example:
17
18 {code:none}
19 # Enable to allow superadmin. It is disabled by default as this could be a security breach if
20 # it were set and you forgot about it.
21 xwiki.superadminpassword=system
22 {code}
23
24 When logging in, the username will be "superadmin" and the password will be the one you set in the <tt>xwiki.superadminpassword</tt> property.
25
26 1.1 Wiki Access Configuration
27
28 The first thing you will want to do is configure a policy access for your wiki. Depending on what you intend to use your wiki for, you have several options:
29
30 * [Open Wiki>#HOpenWiki]: anyone can edit pages (including non registered users)
31 * [Public Wiki>#HPublicWiki]: only registered users can edit pages but registration is open to anyone. This is the default configuration of the default wiki (the wiki provided as a XAR on the [download page>wwwdev:Main.Download]).
32 * [Private Wiki with password>#HPrivateWikiwithpassword]: registration is closed
33 * [Private Wiki with token for registering>#HPrivateWikiwithtoken]: registration is closed but users knowing the token can register

44 1.1.1.1 Global rights
45
46 In [Global rights>http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globalrights&global=1] set *User:XWikiGuest, Groups:, Level:register, Allow-Deny:Allow*.

50 In [Preferences>http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences] under *Registration* set *Use email verification:yes*. fill the other fields appropriately.

57 1.1 Enabling/Disabling Statistics
58
59 To disable [the Statistics feature>UserGuide.IntegratedStatistics], edit your ~~xwiki.cfg~~ file and replace the following properties as shown here:
60 {code:xml}
61 xwiki.stats=0
62 xwiki.stats.default=0
63 {code}
64
65 where:
66
67 * ~~xwiki.stats~~ controls whether Statistics are on or off
68 * ~~xwiki.stats.default~~ controls whether Statistics are on or off by default for the current Wiki. This is useful in [Virtual Wiki mode>AdminGuide.Virtualization]. A wiki can decide whether Statistics is on/off by setting the "statistics" field in XWiki.XWikiPreferences. If no such field is defined the the default value ~~xwiki.stats.default~~ is used.
69
70 To enable Statistics, change "0" to "1".
71
72 1.1 Customizing the Skin
73
74 See the [Skin Guide>AdminGuide.Skins].
75
76 1.1 Security configuration
77
78 See the [Security Guide>AdminGuide.Security].
79
80 1.1 Customizing Menus
81
82 The first thing to understand is that menus depend on the skin you're using. If you're using the 1.0 skin it's likely you're using the [Panels Application>code:Applications.PanelsApplication] to provide the different menu panels you see on the left or right of your wikis. Check the [Panels Application>Code.PanelsApplication] to know more on how to configure/modify them.
83
84 1.1 Encoding
85
86 See the [Encoding Guide>AdminGuide.Encoding].
87
88 1.1 User Authentication
89
90 See the [Authentication Guide>AdminGuide.Authentication].
91
92 1.1 Customizing the registration page
93
94 The default registration page is defined as a template on the file system (named <tt>registerinline.vm</tt>). However it's possible to easily override it by creating a page named <tt>XWiki.Registration</tt>.
95
96 1.1 Logging
97
98 See the [Logging page>Logging].
99
100 1.1 Configuring Interwiki links
101
102 [Interwiki linking>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterWiki] is a short hand syntax for linking to pages on other websites. For example, you could link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterWiki just by typing \[InterWiki@WikiPedia\].
103
104 Since XWiki renders wiki syntax using the [Radeox>http://radeox.org] engine, it supports Interwiki links in [much the same way as SnipSnap>http://snipsnap.org/space/InterWiki+HowTo].
105
106 To configure Interwiki links on your wiki:
107
108 * Create a file named <tt>\[location from where you start your container\]/conf/*intermap.txt*</tt>
109 * Fill <tt>intermap.txt</tt> with content like:
110 {code}
111 IMDB http://us.imdb.com/Title?
112 OpenWiki http://openwiki.com/?
113 SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/
114 TWiki http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/
115 Why http://clublet.com/c/c/why?
116 Wiki http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?
117 WikiPedia http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/
118 {code}
119
120 You can of course add your own entries.
121
122 * Note that Radeox's parser for intermap.txt is [very fragile>http://snipforge.org/jira/browse/RADEOX-49]. A blank line at the bottom of the file is enough to make it fall over.
123 * Restart XWiki (you'll need to restart XWiki every time you change <tt>intermap.txt</tt>) and try out an Interwiki link.
124 * If it does not work, check your <tt>xwiki.log</tt> file. You'll see if <tt>conf/intermap.txt</tt> could not be found, or if there was an error parsing it.
125
126 1.1 Setting the default editor to use (Wiki or WYSIWYG)
127
128 Go the Administration screen, then click on the "Editing" accordion and select the default editor to use, as shown on the following screenshot:
