At this stage all I notice is that in my /var/www/ I have a new folder for the corpus, with some php files inside it - apart from that, I don't see any other changes. When using the terminal version, cwb-encode and cwb-make create a bunch of additional files....but I am not seeing this happening in the web version - how can I check this? ....in the meantime, help is much appreciated!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">Could you try encoding without the explicit text_id and
text_lang elements in your input file? CQPweb assumes that input files will be
valid XML, and that s-attributes like text_id and text_lang are to be inferred
from the attributes of text. So spelling them out may have caused the problem.The
file </span>___install_temp_metadata_illum01 <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">should have been created by cwb-s-decode

this s-attribute is not available.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">On the more general point about metadata: in this case the “minimalist
metadata” is probably what you want so you are going about it the right way. As
the manual explains “</span><span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black;">The metadata file should be a
tab-delimited database. The first column should be the text id-codes, with a

you haven’t got a table of information like this, then the minimalist-metadata
generates a dummy table for you. “Entering metadata fields” simply means
specifying what the columns in your table of information contain, so is not
relevant if you don’t have such a table.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am trying to install my own corpus though cqpweb - I have a simple vertical
text file in the following structure:<br>
<br>
<text id="illum01" lang="Maltese"><br>
<text_id "illum01"><br>
<text_lang "Maltese"><br>
<s><br>
word1<br>
word2<br>
...<br>
</s><br>
</text_lang><br>
</text_id><br>
</text><br>
<br>
there is no annotation (pos, lemma, ect) so its basically like a word list. The
corpus installation process goes well (I used default p-attributes, even if in
reality I only have word attribute - in future I will add pos and lemma but for
the time being I am just trying to get used to cqpweb), but then I need to
install the metadata, and I cannot quite understand what is required here. <br>
<br>
If I try to create a minimalist metadata table without specifying anything in
the manage metatdata page, then I get this error:</span></p>
<p>A mySQL query did not run successfully!</p>
<p>Error # 2: <br>
File '/home/mlrs/corpora/system/temp/___install_temp_metadata_illum01' not
found (Errcode: 2) </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);">from mysql admin,
I see that the table text_metadata_for_illum01 has been created but it is empty
(no rows).<br>
<br>
If I try to enter some metadata fields (which I cannot clearly understand
what's meant to be here), then I still get the above error. </span><br>
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"><br>
I cannot seem to find anything specific to this problem in the documentation
(i.e. explaining what metadata should look like, ect.). I am mainly
following:<br>

<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"><br>
Any pointers would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
