Thank you, Andrea: I did find an old lock file. I deleted it and started the index-init. Hopefully, that will fix it.

I had this happen to me when an aborted index-update left behind a stale lockfile. Have a look at the directory that holds your index files -- [dspace]/search. Any files ending on .lock? If so, delete these and re-index (index-init rather than index-update, just to be safe). See here for an earlier discussion related to this: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12722.html I'd also double-check that the search directory has correct permissions. I hope this solves your problem. cheers, Andrea -- Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
