Test corpus for Glossa (http://github.com/noklesta/glossa_svn) consisting of the English version of the EU constitution, copied from http://urd.let.rug.nl/tiedeman/OPUS/.

Requirements

• A Glossa installation, of course. See http://github.com/noklesta/glossa_svn.
• The finished corpus is included in this repository and does not need to be re-created, but it can nevertheless be accomplished by running the create_corpus.rb ruby script (after setting PATH in the registry file to corpus_data/TEST). In that case you will need the nokogiri ruby gem (sudo gem install nokogiri).

Instructions

• Copy the test directory that is found in the conf directory to the location where you want to keep your configuration files. This location should be specified in the file cgi-bin/glossa/paths.conf in your Glossa installation. In other words, if the conf parameter given in paths.conf is /opt/glossa/conf/, you should now end up with /opt/glossa/conf/test/cgi.conf.
• Edit the cgi.conf file to specify the following:
  • username and password to your Glossa database, as well as the database name and the host it is running on
  • htmlRoot (the root URL for HTML, PHP, and JavaScript files) and cgiRoot (the root URL for CGI files)
  • the path to your registry directory
  • the location that will be used for exports of search results (dat_files). Since the exported files will be served from here, it needs to be located below the document root of your web server.
  • config_dir, which should be set to the same as the conf parameter in paths.conf
• Copy the TEST directory found in the corpus_data directory to the location where you want to store corpus data.
• Copy the file corpus_registry/test to your CWB registry location and edit the PATH line in this file to point to the TEST directory.
• Copy the contents of the html directory to the html directory below htmlRoot in your Glossa installation.
• Copy the contents of the js directory to the js directory below htmlRoot in your Glossa installation. Edit test.conf.js and set the htmlRoot and cgiRoot variables to the same values as in the cgi.conf file.
