Ho Folks

I have installed Pootle 1.2 on my CentOS machine, but I having serious
problems.
I am having reliability problems.
Case: Adding Open Office PO files to Pootleserver

* I downloaded Open Office POT files
* I have "pot2po"-ed the pot files to a directory oo-po
* Then I have split the contents of this directory into two separate
directories (suggested by Open Office I10n community, i.e. Open Office UI
and Open Office Help)
* In the meantime I have created in Pootle two new projects ooui and oohlp
for respectively Open Office UI and Open Office Help.
* I added the language PAP (Papiamento) to both of the projects
* As a result of these actions I can see that Pootleserver has created the
directories <po_root>/ooui and <po_root>/oohlp/pap
* The pap directories are empty so I conclude that I must copy the contents
of the converted OpenOffice PO files to <po_root>/ooui/pap amd
<po_root>/oohlp/pap respectively.
* And so I did.
* Then I went back to Pootleserver in Admin pages I have chosen OpenOffice
UI (ooui) project, then selected the papiamento language (formerly added to
this project) and I have selected the checkbox "update from template".
(Something I do not understand, but I discovered that if I do it, it seems
as if Pootle will initialize/read the content of the converted po files and
make Pootle ready for translation.
* I see for Open Office UI that all po files have been read into Pootle. I
can establish this by the fact that translation progress bar is being
painted. Since no translation has been done - we made an initialization- the
progress is painted RED.
Having seen the red bar I conclude that everything has been succesfully
added.
(by the way, when I added the language PAP to ooui I also added user
priviliges to this project for user, let's say jdoe (John Doe). John is an
siteadmin and all possible permission have been granted to John.

NOW: here is the problem...
* When I navigate repeatedly thru the Pootle PO pages, .....hey?....I lost
my "red progress bars". That is I can see that Pootle display my PO files.
But when I select a PO file for translation I get an empty page. In
short, Pootle displays the directory tree structure (dir names and PO
filename), but it seems that he lost the content of the PO files. ??????
In addition this is the message that is displayed when I attempt to select a
"phantom" PO file: 'There are no items matching that search ('')'.

The scared thing about this, sometimes the PO files are really there (I can
see the red translation progress bar) and other times the completely
disappear!! ???
But most of the time the content of PO files are not present.

Can someone can help me with this problem because I am completely dazzled?
I am starting to loose confidence in my installed components, python,
translate toolkit, jtoolkit, kid).
I am running python v2.5. And I have followed the installation
instructions/system requirements for Pootle release 1.2.

Please help,

Thank you
