Thanks for your answer, Andrew. And for the coming fix. My own
message earlier ignored your answer, which had landed in my spam
folder. Apologies.<br>
Best,<br>
Graham.<br>

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#156082;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Long-term,
this is a bug, because (a) CQPweb (neither the UI nor the
backend) doesn’t check for IDs that start in a digit before
feeding them to cwb-encode; and (b) cwb-encode doesn’t check
the registry filename, which determines the corpus ID, to
make sure it starts in a letter. I’ll see about fixing
those.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello to everyone,<br>
The title says it all, or almost.<br>
<br>
1) I attempted to install a corpus with a set of xml tags,
etc. but ran into an error;<br>
2) I then attempted to install a mini-corpus, in an effort
at debugging, and ran into the same error (something about
extra material after xml tags, repeated for every line of
the corpus) -- I can't be more precise for reasons which
will soon become clear;<br>
3) I then attempted to delete the corpus which, although not
created, was occupying a registry entry, and now have
another error message: "**** CQP ERROR **** cl_new_corpus:
<1984_1> is not a valid corpus name REGISTRY ERROR
(/var/cqpweb/registry/1984_1): syntax error REGISTRY ERROR
(/var/cqpweb/registry/1984_1): Error parsing the main
Registry structure. CQPweb encountered an error and could
not continue."<br>
4) I am now unable to execute any queries or do anything
much with cqpweb... On executing a query, for example, I get
this error message:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">CQP reports an error! The CQP program
sent back these error messages:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">**** CQP ERROR ****<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">CQP Error:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">No corpus activated<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">CQP Error:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">CQP Syntax Error: syntax error<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">[r] Registry <--<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">Ignoring subsequent input until next
';'...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">I'm going to ask for the server to be
restored to a previous state, which should provide a fix,
but won't get me any further with installing the corpus I
wished to set up. If there's a simpler way to repair the
registry entries, I'd be interested.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="errormessage">The "toy corpus" which managed to
break the server was as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks
were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into
his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped
quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though
not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from
entering along with him.</p><br>

with this!<br>
