[CWB] Zero matches in BNC

[Hardie, Andrew]

This is the key error:

/usr/local/share/cwb/registry/bnc: Permission denied

The username you are running under doesn’t have permission to create a file in that folder. Perhaps you need to change the permissions, or else specify a different registry.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you so much for your clarification.

"/home/corp/tma/" is actually a directory. It seems this problem arose because I tried to encode an already existing directory. After I've created a new directory that error message didn't appear.

But, now I get the following error message at the end of the encoding process:

...

     14 <item> regions dropped because of deep nesting.

Hi Aleks,

The language variable is not really relevant. It not being set means
nothing. The size would seem t be wrong, though, as 26 million is
nowhere near enough. Something may have gone wrong in the encoding
process at that point that has left the lexicon and/or the index
unfinished (thus the search failure).

Also, is your BNC data directory actually /home/corp/tma/ or is it a
subdirectory of that? The latter would indicate something amiss if CQP
is looking for the .info file (which usually doesn’t exist) in the
parent directory. You might check what paths are given in the registry
file, perhaps.

Hope that helps

best

Andrew.

IMPORTANCE: High

Dear all,

I've re-encoded BNC with 'EncodeBNC.perl' and 'cqp' now returns zero
matches. It seems that both Positional and Structural Attributes have
been properly encoded (see below) but it seems that the language
variable was not properly assigned. This is what 'info' shows:

BNC> INFO

0 matches.
