[CWB] Installation of a corpus and subsequent problems...

Wed May 14 21:09:21 CEST 2025

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:

<text id="1984_1">
<title>Nineteen eighty-four</title>
<div1 type="part" n="1">
<head>PART 1</head>
<div2 type="chapter" n="1">
<head>1</head>
<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>
</div2>
</div1>
</text>

Many thanks in advance for any help with this!
Best regards,
Graham.
