[CWB] CWB Digest, Vol 84, Issue 7

Tue Jan 21 10:58:26 CET 2014

$path_to_cwb is no longer compulsory and the config script only sets up compulsory variables. That's why it's no longer asked for.

If you don't add it manually to your config file, then it is assumed that CQP is on the path. If it's not, then conversely you need to add it to your config file.

See manual page 24, also pg 17.

The problem exists on new installs as well: attached you'll find the config-file generated by autoconfig-script ($path_to_cqp is missing and autoconfig doesn't ask for it).

This is how I was able to log into the admin panel, eventually (did the same as Unmut):

manually added superuser to db, then logged into admin panel & tried to generate skins:

ERROR: CQP backend startup failed
Then, ran 'system diagnostics' - 'Check CQP backend':

Beginning diagnostics on CQP child process connection.

Using following configuration variables:
$path_to_cqp = ``''
$cwb_registry = ``/home/mki/cqp_web_beta_data/registry''

Checking that exists...
CHECK FAILED. Check that exists and contains the CQP executable.
