     870Firstly, the <i>local library</i> is only available if you're running
     871Greenstone under Windows. It's not yet available on Unix.
     872
     873<p>The major difference between the two is that the <i>local library</i>
     874contains it's own built-in webserver. The <i>web library</i> however,
     875requires an external webserver like Apache or Microsoft IIS. This makes the
     876<i>local library</i> much easier to install and configure than the web
     877library.</p>
     878
     879<p>For this reason, it's recommended that Windows users install the
     880<i>local library</i> unless they're sure that they need the <i>web
     881library</i>. Even if you think you might need the <i>web library</i>, try
     882installing the <i>local library</i> first. You can always uninstall it
     883later and install the <i>web library</i> if you then decide you need
     884it.</p>
     885
     886<p>A situation where the <i>web library</i> may be preferable is if you
     887plan to serve your Greenstone collections as a full-time service on the
     888web. In this case you'll probably want the added stability that running the
     889<i>web library</i> in conjunction with an external webserver can
     890provide.</p>
     891
     892<p>Please note that the <i>local library</i> is quite capable of serving
     893Greenstone collections over a local area network or the web (despite its
     894rather misleading name).</p>

     903
     904_t223_ {
     905If you're using the Windows <i>local library</i> you should be able to
     906simply select &quot;Greenstone Digital Library&quot; from within the
     907programs in your <i>start</i> menu.
     908
     909<p>If you're using the <i>web library</i> things are a little less obvious
     910however. First make sure your webserver is configured correctly and is
     911running (see the <a href="_httppagex_(docs)">Greenstone Installer's
     912Guide</a> and your webserver's documentation for details). You can then
     913simply open your web browser and point it at the URL of Greenstone's
     914library executable. This is dependant on the way you configured Greenstone
     915and your webserver. Typically it might be something like
     916http://localhost/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.exe.</p>
     917}
     918
     919_t224_ {
     920Greenstone relies on a web browser that supports tables, javascript, and in
     921some places, frames. Any reasonably modern browser will do. Examples are
     922Microsoft Internet Explorer 4, Netscape 4, and Mozilla. Newer releases of
     923all these browsers will also work.
     924
     925<p>If you find that your favourite web browser does not work with
     926Greenstone, please <a href="_httppagex_(support)">contact us</a>.</p>
     927
     928<p>Note that there is an exception to the rule that any modern browser will
     929do when running Greenstone. That is when you're using the restricted
     930version of the Windows local library when you must use Netscape. See the
     931discussion below on the differences between the &quot;Restricted
     932Version&quot; and the standard &quot;Enter Library&quot; version of the
     933local library for details.</p>
     934}
     935
     936_t225_ {
     937The webserver built into the local library uses the networking software
     938built into your Windows operating system in order to function. If your
     939computer has never been connected to a network this networking software may
     940not be installed however. For this reason Greenstone comes with some
     941networking software of it's own that it will use if it can't find any
     942installed on your computer.
     943
     944<p>When you click the &quot;Enter Library&quot; button, Greenstone first
     945checks to see if your computer has it's own networking software. If it
     946does, it starts up using that, if not it starts up using it's own
     947networking software.</p>
     948
     949<p>When you click the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; button, Greenstone
     950doesn't bother checking your system for networking software, it just goes
     951ahead and uses it's own.</p>
     952
     953<p>The catch is that there are several limitations with using the
     954Greenstone supplied networking software. The most important limitations are
     955that the local library won't be accessible from the network if run in this
     956way (that is, it really will be &quot;local&quot; to the machine on which
     957it's running) and that it must use a Netscape web browser. Using your
     958computer's built-in networking software is therefore the prefered
     959option.</p>
     960}
     961
     962_t226_ {
     963Since Greenstone will automatically use it's own networking software if it
     964can't find any installed on your computer it should not normally be
     965necessary to run the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; explicitly.
     966
     967<p>Times when it may be necessary are.</p>
     968<ul>
     969<li>If your computer's networking software has been installed incorrectly.</li>
     970<li>If Windows keeps attempting to dial up your internet service provider
     971when you click the &quot;Enter Library&quot; button.</li>
     972</ul>
     973}
     974
     975_t227_ {
     976No you don't need to be online. This is caused by the webserver built into
     977Greenstone's local library sending a message to your computer's networking
     978software to make sure it's functioning correctly. On many Windows systems
     979this causes the familiar dial up dialog box to appear. In most situations
     980you can simply cancel the dialog box and (if required) press your browser's
     981<i>reload</i> button to continue.
     982
     983<p>If this does not solve the problem, try starting the local library by
     984clicking the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; button rather than the
     985&quot;Enter Library&quot; button. See the discussion above on the
     986differences between the standard and restricted versions of the local
     987library for further details.</p>

     990_t228_ {
     991Check your web browser's internet proxy settings and turn proxies off (use
     992<i>Edit preferences</i> on Netscape or <i>Internet options</i> on

     1002The initial username required here is <i>admin</i>.
     1003
     1004<p>If you installed Greenstone using the InstallShield installer on Windows
     1005or the Install.sh script on Unix you should have been asked to set a
     1006password during the installation procedure.</p>
     1007
     1008<p>If you didn't, don't worry, the password defaults to being
     1009<i>admin</i>.</p>
     1010
     1011<p>So if you don't know what to enter you should try username =
     1012<i>admin</i>, password = <i>admin</i>.<p>
     1013}
     1014
     1015_t231_ {
     1016This may be caused by the URL becoming too long for your web
     1017browser. Because Greenstone currently stores all state information in the
     1018URL, if you do a search for a long phrase the URL can become very
     1019long. Different browser's on different platforms have different maximum URL
     1020lengths but in general it seems that Netscape can handle longer URLs than
     1021can Microsoft Internet Explorer.
     1022
     1023<p>There is very little you can do to avoid this problem with the way
     1024Greenstone is currently implemented (aside from not searching for long
     1025phrases). Future versions of Greenstone may store some state information on
     1026the server rather than in the URL but this has yet to be implemented.</p>

     1089There are several reasons that the collector might fail to build a
     1090collection and the error messages it produces are not always very helpful.
     1091
     1092<p>If you changed the default configuration during the <i>configure
     1093collection</i> stage you'll need to make sure the changes were valid. For
     1094example, if you added a new <i>classify</i> or <i>plugin</i> line you'll
     1095need to make sure that the classifier and/or plugin names and arguments are
     1096all correct. If they're not the collector will fail. A good test is to
     1097build your collection without changing the configuration. If it builds ok
     1098with the default configuration but fails after you change the configuration
     1099you'll need to look closely at the changes you're making.</p>
     1100
     1101<p>Another good thing to do if having problems with the collector is to
     1102build your collection from the command line instead. You'll get much more
     1103feedback to help debug problems when building in this way. For details on
     1104how to build a collection from the command line see the <a

     1238translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
     1239interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For

     1249that concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
     1250maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
     1251interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
     1252slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained

     1357The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
     1358English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
     1359the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
     1360appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
     1361strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
     1362language interface.

     1366Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
     1367and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
     1368either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
     1369Greenstone language maintainers. If you are interested, you can play with
     1370an open version of the system by logging into <a
