I have followed the directions to the letter on an Ubuntu installation but after hours of troubleshooting I can't seem to make the demo run. All I get is a this message which seems to contradict itself.

Cannot load file: /tmp/100K/u1.base
Successfully loaded file.

I have tried placing the 100K directory everyplace I can think of under tmp including drive root, drupal directory root, recommendation module folder, sites/default/files folder but nothing seems to work.

I also tried going back to the older version on a drupal 6 install but I can't get any recommendations to appear in the block. Does it require more than one user voting?

Is there a demo site somewhere you could zip up along with a database dump so I can see how this should be set up?

Note that this module is still "alpha". The demo module is not working as of now. I'll fix it later.

I have removed the rec_example module as it's quite misleading. The easiest way to see how recommender module works is to use the free cloud service (currently in beta testing). To see how to develop helper modules on top of RecommenderAPI, you can look at history_rec, similargroups, fivestar_rec, etc.

Thanks.
