GeneWeb - Frequently Asked Questions
|
My genealogic software tells me that the base holds 3000
individuals, but GeneWeb says: 3050 individuals. Why this
difference?
In GeneWeb, parents are always recorded in couple. When there
is just the father or just the mother in the GEDCOM file,
GeneWeb adds the other parent, giving her or him a question
mark as first name and surname. The difference are these missing (but
having existed) parents.
At the first use of GeneWeb, I get the message: Cannot access file
"start.txt".
Look at the doc: "Two frequently encountered problems". If it does not work better, please
tell me.
When displaying relationship links, some are missing.
GeneWeb does not display the links such that the right
(resp. left) person is descended from a person of the left
(resp. right) branch.
Because those relationship links become often so numerous that the
displaying is unreadable. They are real relationship links, however,
and are counted in the consanguinity computing.
In CGI mode I just get a message "Internal Server Error"
A frequent problem is about access rights. The Web server often runs
CGIs as an user with very few rights (typically user "nobody" under
Unix). It may not be able to run "gwd". Check the access rights of
"gwd" and all the GeneWeb files!
