And does anyone know if Verity is working on the *supported* distros? We run RH3 Enterprise. In CFMX6.1 Verity worked only in limited fashion (certain types of documents, including PDF and Word could not be indexed), radically limiting its functionality. Additionally, the verity spider didn't work at all.
Our institution spent money on a tech support incident with Macromedia, only to find out that, yes, I was correct, these things did not work. The documentation on what was supported and what worked or didn't was limited, necessitating us spending money to find out that a major function of CFMX was simply broken in linux. I've heard the "use Lucene" reply, as well. But that's absurd. ColdFusion isn't cheap and Linux users pay just as much as Windows users. Verity should just work! Plain and simple. If I want a Lucene-implemented CF search and spidering facility on Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X, I can get the *free* version of BlueDragon and, voila, it works perfectly. Obviously, BlueDragon is behind the feature curve compaired to MX7. So I'd rather stick with CF. But I'll wait until I hear what users have to say before upgrading from 6.1. If Macromedia can't prompt Verity to fully support linux filesystems, then Macromedia should dump Verity and write their own tool. I'd be very curious to know what experiences people have had with Verity indexing and spidering in version 7 on RH and other distros. I would hope things would be fixed.... I'll be watching this thread. ken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:14:3890 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/14 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:14 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.14 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
