<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been looking at ways around a problem with installing large corpora on our installation of CQPweb.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our university’s firewall cuts off web connections after around 20 seconds, which means that indexing and installing corpora over a certain size via the admin interface gets interrupted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The workaround for this so far has been to index and add metadata using command-line tools on the server, but I’d like to get installation working via the web interface.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been looking through the CQPweb source, and have noticed that the process for user-installed corpora is managed using a job queue, which means that in theory it wouldn’t get interrupted by the firewall timeout.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any plan to rework the admin corpus installation code so that it uses the same queuing system?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alternatively, are there any differences between user- and admin-installed corpora, in terms of the functionality available once they’re installed?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the moment, we don’t allow users to upload corpora, but if we could grant installation privileges to our admin users so that they can install corpora using the user-installed system, it could be a way around the firewall problem<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
