KDBF error

I copied a database to another machine by just copying all the files in the directory to a directory on another machine. When I try to run a query in Vortex, I get the following error in the error log:

002 May 16 18:13:12 /mydir/search:578: Can't open KDBF file C:\dbdir\db\T00511d.dat for reading: error 2: No such file or directory

I tried deleting all the T00511* files, but I still get the error. What's causing this?

The error is telling you that the program is looking for the T00511 files, and is not able to find them because they are no longer in the expected directory. The simplest solution would be to drop and recreate any metamorph indexes you were trying to use.

Hello - i"m getting the following error:




The odd thing is the results are coming back on Netscape6 and Internet explorer 6 but when I try in earlier version of Netscape I get no search results? I checked the html source could and got the above error.

I suspect that you might have an HTML coding error. Check to see that the <form>'s syntax is correct. Also try removing all the extra stuff except the form to see if you still get the error.

Do you have Texis or just Webinator? /usr/local/morph3/texis/testdb is the default database with a standard Texis install. When you look at the HTML source in the older Netscape do you see the results? If so it's probably a missing </TABLE> in your HTML.

Still getting error message.
I'm using the free version of webinator. And I added extra "</table>" to every table. I also tried removing all the extra stuff except the form and I still get the error.

The browser display problem with <table></table> is unrelated to the KDBF error.

The error indicates that line 126 of your script narrow3 can't open the database /usr/local/morph3/texis/testdb. That's not a normal database for webinator 2 to try to open unless you've set your <db=...> your script to that or not set it at all. Make sure your <db=...> is set to the correct database.

I'm only using the metasearch part of the script. I'm not using a db at all. What should I do to get rid of the error message?

Thanks, Paul

Create an empty database with gw or pick an existing webinator database and set <db=...> to that.

Hello again, Can you please explain how I would go about creating an empty database? Please be explicit as possible. I see your response above but I'm a newbie still figuring things out.

- I'm only using the metasearch part of webinator.

I'd like to clear up this error:




when I look at the source code of the html - It prints fine. My error log files are building up.
