1) The documentation on the wiki is pretty much all there but it's a bit hard to navigate sometimes. 2) http://salaam.homeunix.com/twiki/bin/view/Gnumed/DatabaseOnGNULinux containd some incorrect directories, like server/utils which I changed, but the main problem with this page is that it is confusing to know which conf file to use. And at first it says to do this: /bootstrap_gm_db_system.py --conf-file=<a config file> then, it says to do this: ./sh redo-public.sh Well if we look inside redo-public.sh, we see what it is really doing...but why all the confusion on this page. Just tell us what to do any we'll do it. And calling 'sh' is silly when #!/bin/sh is in the file. That's just a little thing, but there are lots of little things. When I run, it the first thing I get: -(~/cvs/gnumed/gnumed/server/bootstrap:$)-> ./redo-public.sh create symbolic link `Gnumed' to `client' ================================ re-bootstrapping public database dropping old database Database "gnumed" will be permanently removed. Are you sure? (y/n) n ========================= making data for locale AU ./redo-public.sh: line 17: make-postcode-sql.sh: command not found and the first thing I notice is, "making data for locale AU," but I don't live in Australia.... It looks like in redo-public it is using bootstrap-de.conf and bootstrap-au.conf, which is curious to me why someone would want to configure for an AU locale and a DE locale. Well, that's it for tonight! More fun next week when I get back. David -- David J.
