X. Common Errors - Mcirino/pdd GitHub Wiki

When I run "deepdive compile" I get a warning about a file or img not being found.
It is possible that PaleoDeepDive was not fully downloaded, which means you can try re-installing. However, usually you will be able to run PDD anyway, especially if the missing file is for a feature of PDD you do not need, such as graph visualization. If the error has to do with a missing disk img, this means you are running PDD on an outdated operating system, so you will have to update your operating system or install the base DeepDive from the source.

When I try "deepdive do articles" I get an unknown target warning.
Generally, I have found that this means that you have not configured DeepDive to markup the articles in the input folder, or have not linked to a dataset properly. PDD in particular requires "deepdive do documents" instead of "deepdive do articles."

I am having trouble running Postgres.
The most common error I got was "could not connect to server." This means something is preventing a connection to your database. Check your listen_address, port, and pg_hba.conf. However, in my case this was actually due to an error with the db.url. Make sure it is set-up to connect to the correct database, especially if you are not using Postgres.
