Message-ID: <9a10486e-eec1-40a0-8a54-66857588c268@univ-avignon.fr> Hello to everyone, The title says it all, or almost. 1) I attempted to install a corpus with a set of xml tags, etc. but ran into an error; 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; 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." 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: CQP reports an error! The CQP program sent back these error messages: **** CQP ERROR **** CQP Error: No corpus activated CQP Error: CQP Syntax Error: syntax error [r] Registry <-- Ignoring subsequent input until next ';'... 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. The "toy corpus" which managed to break the server was as follows: Nineteen eighty-four PART 1 1

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.

Many thanks in advance for any help with this! Best regards, Graham. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thus the problem (?<1984_1> is not a valid corpus name?) that causes it to yield an error as soon as it starts up and reads your registry. The immediate solution for you: manually delete the file /var/cqpweb/registry/1984_1 And reindex with a corpus ID that starts in a letter. 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. Best Andrew.

I'll test with a properly verticalised file and, if all goes well, not report back. Best, Graham.

The method I use to set up a parallel corpus is this (copied and adapted from the cqp / cwb manuals): To set up parallel corpora: 1) Get them installed on cqpweb with the different xml tags declared, etc. 2) Use cwb-align to generate an alignment file suffixed .align, i.e. cwb-align -r /var/cqpweb/registry/ -o test.align TEST_EN TEST_FR s This indicates the registry directory explicitly with the -r option. 3) Modify the registry files using nano to indicate the other aligned corpus. Th is means modifying /var/cqpweb/registry/"my_corpus" and appending ALIGNED "other _corpus". 4) Use cwb-align-encode to point to the alignment file. This need to be done as admin i.e. with su and using -d and -r options to point to the data and registry ?directories The second command does the same thing backwards, i.e. reads the alignments the other way round, with the -R switch. cwb-align-encode -d /var/cqpweb/index/test_en/ -r /var/cqpweb/registry/ test.ali gn cwb-align-encode -d /var/cqpweb/index/test_fr/ -r /var/cqpweb/registry/ -R test. align 5) Test it out in cqpweb. Now, my question is: can I set up a parallel corpus in such a way that a search in the source will display all the aligned translations simultaneously? If so, is it just a question of following this how-to for each source-target pair, and then declaring multiple alignments in cqpweb or do I align all the text from the CLI? I hope the question is clear and thank you in advance for any guidance. Best, Graham. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'll answer my own questions (this is becoming a habit, apologies!). (Please correct me, elaborate, etc. if necessary.) 1) the admin pw is "user", but it seems to work only with sudo, not with su 2) I have aligned source texts with target texts, cqpweb doesn't appear to be able to display all the alignments simultaneously but does enable quick switching which is good. Apologies for troubling you but perhaps this might be of help to other cqpweb[inabox] users. Best, Graham.

Nc??? eau|eaux [Nc: common noun] I'm not entirely sure why, since there is no ambiguity here, but as a result it is impossible to search for the lemma "eau". Are there any solutions to other than simply opting to remove the pipe and what comes after it from column three of the vrt file to allow querying only for the first choice of lemma?
