Signal 11 when indexing.

Post by Thunderstone »




My guess is long pathnames or XFS, but we'll see...

I'm running gw 1.1 on an SGI Challenge with XFS (spiced-up volume
managed file system) and IRIX 5.3, and when I do a gw -i on any of my
databases I get the following...

# ./gw -index No database specified. Use the default
(/local/service/httpd/servers/www.contract.kent.edu/htdocs/webinator/db)?
(y/n) default is y :
You may use "-d-" to skip this question in the future.
Indexing new pages 200
Got signal 11 - quitting now

That hairy pathname was specified when I installed, and comes up
here fine... But when I drop into my webinator/bin directory and do
something like "gw -d../newdb http://www.contract.kent.edu", I get the
following...

# ./gw -d../newdb http://www.contract.kent.edu
002 can't open
/httpd/servers/www.contract.kent.edu/htdocs/webinator/newdb: No such file
or directory
000 Could not connect to ../newdb
002 can't open
/httpd/servers/www.contract.kent.edu/htdocs/webinator/newdb: No such file
or directory
003 Can't create database ../newdb

Which lists the installed path with the "/local/service" head
chopped off...

I've tried reinstalling a couple times, no dice...

Thanks,

-Ted

Yes. The long path is the problem. It is fixed in the next release
which is due "any day now"...


This sounds like there is a soft link somewhere up the line which
is confusing the full path maker. What happens with the following
command?:
/bin/pwd
