There are here a few usual questions that could be useful in the use of our Semantic CMS. If you can't find what you are lookin for, please, email us at [email protected]. Thanks in advance!

What requirements are necessary to install Ximdex?


Ximdex Content Management System can be installed on any PC (or Mac) running with Linux or Windows. There isn't any large hardware requirements. The use of our decoupled publishing technology enables a large organization to be managed with a basic server computer. Once you have your Ximdex CMS installed, simply a current generation web browser is all that you need to manage all the Ximdex functions and features.

I downloaded Ximdex CMS but I'm not beable to see the installer.


Maybe on your PHP error log you could read something like this: "PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with message 'The stream or file "/var/www/ximdex4/logs/xmd.log" could not be opened: failed to open stream: Permission denied".

Just changing the permissions on the conf and logs folders would solve the problem.

chmod -R 775 logs/ && chmod -R 775 conf/

I select my own language during the install process but the Ximdex CMS's interface is still in english. What I do wrong?


Nothing! Sometimes your server (Debian, Ubuntu, ...) doesn't have your custom language installed, so Ximdex CMS can't translate its interface to that language.

How can I create a new channel on Ximdex?


It's easy. Go to the Control Center tab, and select the Channel Manager. There, create a new channel providing a name, an extension (which will be appended to all your documents published on this new channel) and a description. Later, return to the Projects tab and select the new created channel on your server node by accesing to its heritable properties.

What's the meaning of Rendering in when I create a new channel on Ximdex?


Ximdex is capable to renderize your documents statically on the same server where the CMS is running, or on a dynamic way on your remote server.

This graph show you how:

If you select rendering in Ximdex, the transformation proccess work in the local server: takes the XSLT templates and your document and makes the magic!. Nevertheless, if you select rendering in client, the transformation process is executed on the remote server, so Ximdex sends the raw XML of your document with the address where the XSLT templates are stored in.

How can I activate the ontology service on my Ximdex CMS local instance?


This service is provided via Xowl module, so you need to install it if you want to add semantic tags or enrich your documents with external references.

The installation process is simple. In your terminal screen, locate the Ximdex CMS root directory and execute this command:

$> ./install/module.sh install Xowl (notice the capital 'X')

This service is provided by our servers, so to maintain some access control we provide you a key (the Xowl Key) to enable it.

Ask us for your key writting an email at soporte at ximdex dot com.

Optionally, you can interact with an intalled LMF instance if you type its http URL during the installation process like this:

$> Do you want to define a LMF Service? [Y/n]: y

$> Url to LMF Server: http://localhost:8080/LMF

Once you have successfully configured this module you will be able to deal with DbPedia entities as Person, Organizations, Places, ...
