[platform-help-dev] indexing problem with InfoCenter Eclipse 2.0.1?

[Erik Hennum <ehennum@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Eclipse Help People:

We have an InfoCenter Eclipse 2.0.1 with Tomcat 4.0.6 and JDK 1.3.1 on
Windows 2000.  The web server is serving up content just fine.  The search,
however, is broken (doesn't start reindex progress bar or return from a
search request).  We tried shutting down Tomcat, removing the generated
index files in
work\Standalone\localhost\help\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.help\nl\en_US,
 and restarting Tomcat.  That approach has worked fine on other systems.

Instead of generating new index files, however, the log reports an error on
the missing index files:

Fri Jan 10 07:46:37 EST 2003
ERROR  org.eclipse.help  Exception occured performing search for: volume.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: G:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6
\work\Standalone\localhost\help\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.help\nl\en_US\segments

---------------------------------------------------------------

We also tried to remove all of the generated files in
work\Standalone\localhost\help.  The JSPs happily recompiled, and the
.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.help\nl\en_US subdirectory structure was
successfully recreated, but index files weren't generated.

Any suggestions of things to investigate or try?


Thanks in advance,
