gnatsd: Could not resolve database alias? (and suggestions)

[nick]

I get this error when trying to run gnatsweb:

"Error: Could not resolve database alias (Brainstorm)."

I had gnats/gnatsweb working just 2 weeks ago on another machine, but
now have reinstalled it with "--with-gnats-root=/home/gnats/gnats-db". 
Could this be the difference?  I can't think what else it could be.

The pulldown database widget on the gnatsweb login page is empty, yet I
can do this fine:

gnats> cat /tmp/bugpr | queue-pr -q
gnats> queue-pr --run

The config file is setup with our database name "Brainstorm" obviously.

It sounds like a gnatsweb error, but the message is coming from the
gnats code itself.  Any help appreciated.

Also, a couple of suggestions:

1) It doesn't make sense to me for the file generated by mkcat
(Brianstorm in our case) to be in <prefix>/share/gnats rather than
<GNATS_ROOT>/gnats-db...

2) I found Gnats didn't work when I had a space in the category or
submitter ID - it would be good if we could use real product and company
names as the submitter IDs instead of names with underscores.

Otherwise keep up the good work - I'm looking forward to gnats4!
