When Everything receives a request, it checks the database for a node of type 'setting' named 'system settings'. This holds default information about the installation. There are generally only two reasons why you might see this error. Either the database was not started, or there's no 'system settings' node in the database. You can run Everything from the command line -- just execute the index.pl file. It should give you a similar error message. The ecore nodeball probably didn't install correctly. Make sure you don't have a root password on the database, then run `make realclean perl Makefile.PL make make install bin/nbmasta install ecore.nbz everything` [download] That ought to do it. Update: Oops, there's an ecore directory. Try: `bin/nbmasta install <full path>/<to>/ecore everything`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I have the same problem. I downloaded the latest current-everything (0.9.1.0) and followed your instructions here and I got the same error. There is no ecore.nbz in this package _______________________________________________ "Intelligence is a tool used achieve goals, however goals are not always chosen wisely..."	[reply]

True -- however, there is the nodeballs/ecore directory. Therefore, the install becomes: `make realclean perl Makefile.PL make make install cd nodeballs/ecore ../../bin/nbmasta install . everything` [download] Hope this helps. There are a few other gotchas involved with getting Everything working under Perl 5.6 that you might want to keep an eye out for. First off, mod_perl and Expat don't play nice with each other. Secondly, Perl 5.6 requires jumping through a few more hoops to get inheritance working (patches here or here). I seem to remember that ther emight be one or two more, but these are the only two that bit me. Well, besides the premissions bug, which I think has been fixed in the most recent release. Anyways, hope this helps. perl -e 'print "Just use $^X$\"$]!$/"'	[reply] [d/l]
