[IIAB] [UKids] IIAB Software Install

[Tim Moody]

I think it’s time to start over.  The version of iiab I’m using was billed as May2014.  However knowledge/modules/INFO.json says "version": "20130811".

The symlink is wikipedia-index -> wikipedia-index.with_content.

On the bright side I ran python-pip install --upgrade Internet-in-a-Box and search works for school wiki and maps.

The issue is that you have installed the IIAB software from the rpms.  The RPMs are not supported any more.  That old version of the software will not support the new dataset.

The recommended way to install is pip, as per the installation guide.  This unfortunately requires gcc on the system.  We had discussed some months ago using "wheel" but never settled on anything.

The link should be to wikipedia.index-with_content_new for the full text wikipedia search.  The old (not _new) versions will be removed at some point. 

wikipedia-index -> wikipedia-index.with_content_new

If that link is not present on the new clones of the dataset hard drive (and please write the version number on each drive for our sanity) then something went wrong or it was not copied correctly and we need to know.

The use of the symlink was a bad idea, but I didn't have time.


You can also find the dataset version number in knowledge/modules/INFO.json

  Other choices seem to be titles_only, titles_only_new, and with_content_new.

  Can someone confirm what the proper link should be.

  Is the issue the link or the fact that we installed iiab from rpms?

  Hi

  In setting up iiab on the schoolserver, the install script creates the following symbolic 
  link:

  #set up link
  cd /library/knowledge/modules
  ln -s wikipedia-index.titles_only wikipedia-index

  In this symbolic link is not set, wikipedia search fails.

  I also point to the knowledge/modules folder containing the iiab content with the following:

  cp iiab.wsgi /var/www

  where iiab.wsgi contains the following line:

  # WSGI interface file for Apache's mod_wsgi

  # If you are using a virtualenv, set this path
  path_to_virtualenv = '/library/iiab-venv'

  The defaults.ini is not modified so iiab searches for the knowledge folder 
  which is at /library/knowledge. I should probably change this to specify the 
  location.

    You can follow some instructions here to install or update IIAB.

    The pip install method seems to be the recommended method for now.
