(and suggestions) Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2001 07:38:00 -0000 Message-id: <3B1F91D0.D3E591E2@brainstorm.co.uk> References: X-SW-Source: 2001-q2/msg00150.html I get this error when trying to run gnatsweb: "Error: Could not resolve database alias (Brainstorm)." I had gnats/gnatsweb working just 2 weeks ago on another machine, but now have reinstalled it with "--with-gnats-root=/home/gnats/gnats-db". Could this be the difference? I can't think what else it could be. The pulldown database widget on the gnatsweb login page is empty, yet I can do this fine: gnats> cat /tmp/bugpr | queue-pr -q gnats> queue-pr --run The config file is setup with our database name "Brainstorm" obviously. It sounds like a gnatsweb error, but the message is coming from the gnats code itself. Any help appreciated. Also, a couple of suggestions: 1) It doesn't make sense to me for the file generated by mkcat (Brianstorm in our case) to be in /share/gnats rather than /gnats-db... 2) I found Gnats didn't work when I had a space in the category or submitter ID - it would be good if we could use real product and company names as the submitter IDs instead of names with underscores. Otherwise keep up the good work - I'm looking forward to gnats4! nick
