[CWB] Corpus installation problem

[Hardie, Andrew]

Hi Graham,

This looks like you have run into the bug that others have reported whereby an error in corpus installation configuration causes the whole index data directory to be deleted.

I have never been able to reproduce or track down this bug. Instead I added checks intended to spot the error condition and abort before data can be lost. I don’t know why the system dd not abort before deleting index data in the situation you report.

Can you tell me exactly what version of the code you are running? (Version, or even better, SVN checkout number). Possibly you have a version that precedes these protective checks.

Also, I know you probably don’t have it open in a browser now after allthis time, but the full URL of the screen where you got the “Critical error in installation” message would be useful for diagnosis. Failing that, the database entry for the corpus whose installation caused the problem might shed light (select * from corpus_info where corpus="handle_of_your_corpus";    ).

Thanks

best

Andrew.

Hello again,
The problem is worse than it first appeared. In fact none of the corpora word. I'm getting error messages of the following type for simple queries on ALL, previously well installed, corpora: "Corpus ``ENGLISH_TEST'' is undefined".
As far as I know, nothing has changed in the cqpweb since yesterday... when I successfully installed another corpus.
Help will be much appreciated,
Best,
Graham.

Hello to all,
I'm having trouble installing a corpus with the message "Critical error in installation: corpus dir not specified". After this, the corpus name actually shows up in the "Show corpora" area, but it is obviously empty.
Any thanks much appreciated, as ever.
Best,
Graham.
