Forum OpenACS Q&A: Problem with 'Edit' option in xowiki

Posted by Richard Hamilton on 11/17/08 12:49 AM

Have I done something stupid here?

I navigated to the index page of the wiki instance and selected 'edit'. The first time I did it I did not receive an error, however the second time I did it I received the following:

[16/Nov/2008:23:37:11][30647.131077][-default:2-] Warning: /content/index has no doc(title) set.

Just to give a little more data for this issue.

I got this when upgrading 0.60.6 to pre-release 0.103. I couldn't trace the code properly so I 'solved' it by exporting, deleting the old xowiki instance, recreating a new one and importing the data. This gave me what I needed for the development system.

cheers

Interesting. I worked around it in a similar way. The xowiki instance was a fresh install with only a single change to the default en:index page when the error ocurred.

I unmounted the wiki instance from the site map, deleted the unmounted application, created a new url, and mounted a new wiki instance.

It then worked again.

I hear about this the first time. Early versions of OpenACS 5.4 used the (broken) side node caching. Can it be that this happened in connection with upgrading the ACS Kernel from a version with side node caching (5.4.1 or 5.4.2) to a version without it (5.4.3), without restarting OpenACS?

I don't think so because mine was a brand new system installed from the 5.4.3 tarball.

The kernel upgrade to HEAD that I just performed to try to get 'categories' working was done after I observed this behaviour.

I would be interested to recreate the error. What was your sequence? Install from the 5.4.3 tarball, install xowiki, restart and and edit twice the index page?
