[CWB] index (data) subdir secretly deleted?

I have a fairly good idea where in the code this is happening: when the system detects that a data directory of the name of the new corpus already exists, it attempts to delete it. However, I cannot see why this would affect the entire index directory instead of just that of the corpus to be created; there are already checks against the name of the corpus being an empty string, which would be the normal thing I would suspect.

It's possible that your web server error log file may contain an informative PHP message....

best

Andrew.

Hi

I've experienced this quite a few times - when installing a corpus, the 
whole index folder disappears. I don't know why, but it seems this 
happens when the corpus handle is not too long or ill-formed. But the 
problem is that all other corpora are lost too and must be re-installed. 
Any ideas? Thanks for any help!
