[CWB] index (data) subdir secretly deleted?

[Jiayue Wang]

Thanks Andrew. I check the error log and found the only suspicious 
message to be

PHP Warning:  chmod(): Operation not permitted in 
/home/arthur/www_root/CQPweb/lib/admin-install.inc.php on line 603 ...

It seems the installation was unsuccessful because it failed to 
chmod($newdir, 0775) after creating that folder? But I don't see why 
this particular corpus was special - other corpora were installed 
without a problem.

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.
