XWiki Configuration Check
This script intends to show most important parameters for XWiki hosting. You can go directly to recommendations
Installation Path
- XWiki configuration path: /etc/xwiki/xwiki.cfg
- Tomcat configuration path: /var/lib/tomcat9/conf/server.xml
Memory Configuration
This lists the memory settings of the Java VM and the current memory usage. An XWiki instance should be installed with at least 1Gb. A large one with at least 2GB to 4GB, especially if the cache settings are boosted. If after *flushing the cache*, the current free memory is low and the current total close to the maximum the instance might be running out of memory.
- Max Memory: 4 GB
- Current Total: 1.9 GB
- Current Free: 977.7 MB
Cache configuration
This lists the main cache settings. An XWiki instance is set by default to 500 for the main cache which is fine for a normal instance. A large one with at least 1000 to 3000. Java Memory needs to be increased to support a larger cache. This setting can be changed in xwiki.cfg with the property xwiki.store.cache.capacity
- Store Page Cache in Use : -1/500
Database configuration
This lists the database settings of the Java VM and the current pool usage. An XWiki instance is set by default to 2 connections in the pool, which is ok for a very small instance. A large one with at least 10 or 20. If there is no activity on the server, the active setting should be zero.
- Max Active (number of possible connections to the DB): 50
- Max Idle (number of possible idle connections to the DB): 5
- Active (current active connections to the DB): 1
- Idle (current idle connections to the DB): 4
Authenticator Configuration
- Authenticator class configured in xwiki.cfg: org.xwiki.contrib.ldap.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl
Encoding Configuration
This lists ALL the encoding configuration of tomcat, xwiki, java. All should return UTF-8 except mail.mime.charset which can also return null (the file.encoding config will then be used)
System environment
- LANG :en_US.UTF-8
- PWD :/var/lib/tomcat9
Java command line
- file.encoding: utf8
- mail.mime.charset: null
Tomcat configuration
Prior to Tomcat8 it was necessary to set the connection encoding of protocols to UTF-8. Since Tomcat8+ this is not necessary anymore.
- Procotol HTTP/1.1 has encoding null
XWiki Configuration
- XWiki encoding used on server: UTF-8
- XWiki encoding from config file: UTF-8
