[CWB] Two issues regarding CQPweb revision 316

[Hardie, Andrew]

Hi Ray,

Issues 1-I to 1-III sound like permissions problems i.e. httpd can’t write to the access directory (this is the first step in user creation, so if it fails, the rest won’t work) or alternatively, can’t write to the permissions file because they were created as belonging to another user.  Can you check this? Alternatively, it could be an AppArmor etc. issue as well as a Unix permissions issue. Or (thinking of yet another reason) it could be that CQPweb is unable to invoke the htpasswd binary properly, e.g. if it has the wrong path or is unable to call it.

Issue 2 sounds like a setup issue. Look in the “admin tools – Manage metadata” page. You will see, in the lower half of the screen, four buttons. You need to press all four, in order, after inserting the metadata table for setup to be complete. The first of these buttons is the one that fills in the fields you mention.

Issue 3. Mea maxima culpa - I forgot to bump the version number before committing.  Next commit will include beginning work on 3.0.7 and will raise the  number.

best

Andrew.

Hi all,
I am trying CQPweb revision 316 and find two small inconvenienences on my computer.

Issue 1:
I. Results of  "Create a batch of user accounts"  won't show up in
1) GUI's  "Set user's maximum database size"  or "Delete a user account"
2) MySQL table "user_settings"
3) .htgroup and .htpasswd files in CQPweb's web usernames and passwords directory
4) GUI of "Manage group membership"->"Manage user groups"

II. Results of "Create new user (or reset user password)"  won't show up in
1) MySQL table "user_settings"
2) .htgroup and .htpasswd files in CQPweb's web usernames and passwords directory
3) GUI of "Manage group membership"->"Manage user groups"

III. Results of "Add new group" won't show up in a corpus's .htaccess file

However, manually edit .htgroup and run htpasswd will make users appear in "Delete a user a ccount" but these users still won't show up in "Set user's maximum database size". That said, I can now log in as the new user.

Issue 2:
In table "text_metadata_for_test", the fields of "words","cqp_begin","cqp_end" are empty

Issue 3 (is it an issue?):
The version number on the welcome page is 3.0.5, which doesn't match that (3.0.6) in "Latest news"

Thanks for any tips. I think if these issues can be fixed, I can start to do real things now.
Best
Ray
