Extend Bibliography Database Size

Post by newmanm89 »

Hi guys,

I was inputting references for my report and for some reason LaTeX won't let me go over 20 references, if I put more than that I receive a warning "Undefined references" and it doesn't show up in my bibliography and shows up as a question mark where I've cited it.

I am using TeXworks if that makes a difference.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

Please post the .log file and the BibTeX log file with the extension .blg, as attachment. For this, click on "Upload attachment" below the edit text field, when writing a post. The log files contain information which is helpful for debugging.

Note, that you have to run BibTeX again after you added references.

Just for information to other users for awareness of possibly already existing solutions. The question has also been posted to {TeX} SX.

As localghost has said, I also posted on {TeX} SX and included a screenshot of what it looks like.

I uploaded the .log but it won't allow me to upload the .blg file, it says it's not allowed.

Ok, I added the .blg extension to the allowed file extensions, please try again!

Btw. did you run BibTeX again, after you made more than 20 references? If you did not run it again, the new references would not be defined.

Feel free to add a .zip file of all involved files. You could make a copy and remove unnecessary text, and post the copy project as archive here.

Yes, I have run it numerous times, at first I was running pdfLaTex + MakeIndex + BibTeX, then tried running BibTeX by itself however made no difference.

.blg file attached.

Extend Bibliography Database Size

Let's have a look at the file:

Code: Select all

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99dThe top-level auxiliary file: thesis.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: abstract.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: acknowledgements.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: glossary.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: introduction.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: litreview.aux
...
A level-1 auxiliary file: math.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: experimentalsetup.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: simulation.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: conclusion.aux
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Are these all files or chapters, respectively, which the .aux files show, or is one missing?

And there are two errors:

Code: Select all

Case mismatch error between cite keys moscrop and Moscrop
---line 64 of file litreview.aux
: \citation{moscrop
: }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You see, the key is case sensitive, write \cite{Moscrop} instead or use lower case in the .bib file.

Code: Select all

You're missing a field name---line 12 of file thesis.bib
:
: %volume = "",
(Error may have been on previous line)
I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
And check the warning:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Fix the litreview file and add the missing field and the year. Then try running BibTeX and pdfLaTeX again.

Is the problem gone then? If not, show the new .log and .blg file.

Aha! Fixed! It was the missing field names, I just assumed you could comment these out and have the compiler ignore them. Although I find it strange that it was working fine up until the 21st reference.

Thank you for your help, it has been much appreciated!
