Hi all, Just an email to announce that we launched the GBIF France portal based on ALA architecture, this morning. You can access to the portal via the GBIF France website (www.gbif.fr ) : menu "Consulter" then "Accès au portail français du GBIF". All your feedbacks are really welcome. You can send an email to the dev team (dev(a)gbif.fr) or me (melecoq(a)gbif.fr) in order to not spam this mailing list. The GBIF France team and I really want to thanks Dave, Santi and Tim for their help and the entire ALA team for this really good framework. Good job! It was nice to work with it and I can't wait to see what we will be able to do with it for future developments If you need any feedback of the installation or/and the front-end development, please feel free to ask. Have a good day! Cheers, Marie --

Crowdin - messages.properties

Hi all (again), Sophie and I translated the entire generic-hub in French as you can see on Crowdin. I would like to know how I can download the messages.properties. Do we need to wait for an admin validation ? If yes, Santi, can you validate the translation ? We will work on the collectory part during the next months. Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers, Marie --

MySQL - UTF-8 issue
by Marie Elise Lecoq 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi all, I have an issue with the encoding when I upload data from GBIF. In the beginning, MySQL was set to latin_1 but Dave made a modification on the ansible script and I change the collectory database to UTF-8 as well as the tables. As you can see here (http://185.26.127.140/collectory/dataResource/show/dr3), accents are not displayed. And it is the same in the database. As data are good in GBIF ( http://www.gbif.org/dataset/dfb4510e-068e-4a59-a1e6-9a9991b78e50), the problem came up during the insert in the database. Any clue ? Thanks in advance for your help, Cheers, Marie --

Permission denied problem for images in ALA portal
by Holetschek, Jörg 13 May '15

13 May '15

Dear all, I've tried to get images into the portal through the associatedMedia DwC field. They have been picked correctly and cached, but didn't show up in the interface (neither thumbnails nor full images, permission denied error). If you hit the same problem, try to set the x permission for the folder "biocache-media", this solved the issue on our installation. Cheers from Berlin, Jörg Von: Ala-portal [mailto:ala-portal-bounces@lists.gbif.org] Im Auftrag von David.Martin(a)csiro.au Gesendet: Montag, 11.

Im not sure what the cause is but you might be right about it being the name matching index. We'll look into it and report back to the list.

How to run ansible-playbook local machine
by Santiago Martinez de la Riva 12 May '15

12 May '15

Hi all, Maybe someone could be interested to run ansible in the localhost, the way to do that is very easy. We only have to include in the command ansible-playbook the option --connection=local. I hope this is usefull for someone xD. Kind regards, Santi. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Santiago Martínez de la Riva - Reponsable Desarrollo & IT.

ala-install - ansible version
by Armand Turpel 12 May '15

12 May '15

Hi, Finally I arrived to install ala-demo on a windows 7 (8gb) machine with virtualbox. I would set the focus on the mysql connection problem that I had during the Paris meeting. This problem is in fact related to the ansible version above 1.8. (Dave, Tim) If you follow the install instructions of ansible here: http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html#latest-releases-via-pip the latest ansible will be installed. Which is a version above 1.8. (1.9.1 or 2.0.0) the ala-demo install dosent work with this version. It is necessary to install ansible with: sudo pip install ansible version===1.8.4 Best wishes, Armand
