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".<br>
As far as I know, nothing has changed in the cqpweb since yesterday... when I successfully installed another corpus.<br>
Help will be much appreciated,<br>
