Hi all,
<br>
<br>
These are the steps I've followed:
<br>
<br>
1. cd /spider/data
<br>
2. wget <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat">www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat</a>
-O cty.dat
<br>
<br>
(I'm sure that the last cty.dat file is downloaded because I've
edited with nano and searching for the "VERSION" string I've found
"Guinea-Bissau: 35: 46: AF: 12.02: 14.80: 0.0:
J5:
<br>
J5,=VERSION; ")
<br>
<br>
3. wget <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.country-files.com/cty/wpxloc.raw">www.country-files.com/cty/wpxloc.raw</a>
-O wpxloc.raw<br>
4. ../perl/create_prefix.pl<br>
5. into the spider console, as sysop, done the command "load/prefix"
<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, the output for the "sh/prefix version" is:
<br>
<br>
sh/prefix version
<br>
VERSION CC: 201 IZ: 54 CZ: 29 LL: 12 9 S 96 49 E NH87 (VERSION,
Cocos-Keeling-)
<br>

<br>
<br>
IMHO this means that the new database is not loaded, at least. I
don't know what I'm doing wrong... <br>
<br>
<span class="moz-smiley-s2" title=":("></span>
For completeness: I've tried to delete the file
/spider/local_data/prefix_data.pl and run one more time the
create_prefix and load/prefix, but nothing is changed.<br>
<br>
I don't know what else to try...<br>

Are you doing the wget -qn as sysop or another user? I
shamelessly use a crontab script written by another

it just happens without human intervention. That might be
the way to go.</div>

<div> Hi Kjell,<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>
<br>
I've understood now. But however despite
having downloaded the last cty.dat from
the following URL:<br>
<br>
<a
href="https://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat</a><br>
<br>
the DXCC entity identifying the version is
not "Guinea-Bissau-J5" but
"Cocos-Keeling-Islands-VK9C": so, if I'm
not wrong, this means that the cty.dat
file downloaded is not the last one.<br>
<br>
Of course, after cty.dat download in
/spider/data, I've done the spider/perl/<a
href="http://create_prefix.pl/"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">create_prefix.pl</a>
and finally, into the spider console done
the "load/prefix" command.<br>
<br>
Kjell, please could you tell me the exact
path for downloading the last cty.dat file
?<br>
<br>
Thank you and sorry for noise to the
others.<br>
