Re: Apache Roller 5.0.1 RC1 files available

Matt Raible — 2012-05-23T14:58:34

I downloaded the 5.0.1-RC1 zip and upgraded my site to use it locally on Tomcat 6. I only did some brief testing, but it looks good.

Cheers,

Apache Roller 5.0.1 RC1 files available

Dave — 2012-05-22T03:17:37

I've prepared a first Release Candidate (RC) for Apache Roller 5.0.1
and you can find it at the link below. At this time, these files are
ONLY for testing purposes and are NOT considered release from the
Apache Software Foundation.

   http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/apache-roller-5.0.1-RC1/

This release is exactly the same as the Roller 5.0 release except that
it contains these three security related fixes:

   Option to HTML sanitize weblog content
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1943

   Salt values in all HTML forms
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1944

   Moving to new versions of Struts and Spring security
   http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1231565

It is important to get this release out as soon as possible, so please
take a look at the release if / when you have a chance. Because the
changes are limited and this new release is now successfully running
in production at blogs.apache.org, I don't think we need extensive
testing. We do need to do some sanity checks.

Here are some things you can do to help test, in order of difficulty:
   - Verify that the files can be unpackaged successfully
   - Verify that the signatures are valid
   - Verify that the source release builds
   - Attempt to install and run the Tomcat build
   - Attempt to install and run the Java EE build on Glassfish

Thanks,
- Dave

The infrastructure team said that blogs.apache.org is currently read

Re: How to keep the data in Derby or change the developing DB to MySQL?

I just want to try some development work in my eclipse and avoiding add

Re: How to keep the data in Derby or change the developing DB to MySQL?

Shen Hongzhou — 2012-03-20T14:48:28

Thank you.

I have tried. I added the mysql dependency, and change the
"roller-custom.properties" according to the install guide document.
But now, I get the "reading/parsing database creation script" error. The
mysql version is: 5.0.18

If I can change some settings to avoid the lost of data in Derby, I think
just using Derby will be better.

You can get the details in Roller's install guide document. Use Mysql or
other Database to save your data, do not use the default Derby.

Thank you, Dave.

Actually, I would like to do some development things. I also think Jetty
and Derby is convenient. But I don't know how to avoid the lost of data
when restart Roller. Maybe there are somewhere to set?

Running Roller via the Maven build script and "mvn jetty:run" is only meant

Re: How to keep the data in Derby or change the developing DB to MySQL?

Dave — 2012-03-20T12:58:09

Running Roller via the Maven build script and "mvn jetty:run" is only meant
for development. In development we use Jetty and Derby because they are
easy to setup an start from the Maven build script.

If you want to run Roller "in production" for a real blog, the best
approach is to follow the installation guide, install Roller into Tomcat
and use MySQL as the database.

Re: Can't build roller 4.0.1 src

Dave — 2012-03-20T12:54:01

I have not built Roller 4.0.1 in a long time, but I believe you should
ignore the build.xml files in src and src/apps/planet.

The only build.xml you need to run is the one in src/apps/weblogger

How to keep the data in Derby or change the developing DB to MySQL?

Shen Hongzhou — 2012-03-20T04:26:47

Hi everybody,

I'm new to Roller and I just ran the source code of Roller, everything
works fine. I created a new user and a new blog.
But when I stopped Roller and ran it again, all of newly created data
disappeared, there is no user and no blog. I guess maybe the Derby cleared
the old data when it was started.

So, I just want to know how to keep the old data when I restart the Roller?
Or, maybe I can use MySQL for developing, how can I change to MySQL?

This is my first time to user maven+jetty+Derby, I'm sorry for this kind of
"stupid" question.

Regards,
Hongzhou

Fwd: Why is Roller 5 slow on tomcat 7?

vikramark singh — 2012-03-07T04:30:10

Hello Group,

The problem was not with Tomcat or Roller. I had recently updated my JDK to
7. It was JDK 7 that was causing the slowness. I have not fully
investigated as why the application is slow in Jdk7 but I believe the
reason is due to the new SplitVerifier option.  For now I have moved back
to JDK 6, and now the application is working quite alright.

Thanks
Vik

Subject: Why is Roller 5 slow on tomcat 7?
To: dev< at >roller.apache.org


Hi Group,

I am trying to setup a new roller project. For me the Roller 5 is very
slow.  I saw a  couple of mails on web around memory leaks but in my case
even if I increase the MaxHeap size to 1gb (I did not change the
minHeapSize though), it still remained slow. And the memory is not an issue
because that memory was never used.

Before starting to do profiling or monitoring the application i wanted to
know if anyone else has experienced this issue and if there is any known
solution for this.  I have intel i7 (quad core) system, and its hardly
used. So computation power or memory is not an issue. I am using custom
template, and my guess is may be thats giving some issue.

I will appreciate any help in this regard.


thanks,
Vik

Hi Devs,

I have been working with Roller's source code for a period of time. I want
to improve it but can not do it by myself.

Guys, New open source fan need your help here, it will not cost you much
time, your help will keep Roller rolling

Hi Devs,

I wish i can be a mentor this year. I will not be able to commit myself
during July and August and that worries me. If some other developer would
like
to take the main role, I would be much willing to help as a co mentor /
help in any possible ways.

Thanks
