Thanks for your quick response.

1) IFS. Apparently the "unset IFS" in the bin/nutch script does not work on solaris. Commenting this line allows the program to run. Any
thoughts ?


Can you contribute a patch that allows to run the script on solaris and linux as well?


I will be happy to contribute a patch once i get it to work. In the meantime, is there a way to sepcify the cmd lines options for crawling in a config file ? I think the basic issue is the reading in of vars.



2) Parameters.  I am unable to pass nutch certain parameters beyond the

command and a file.  Ie bin/nutch crawl urls -depth 3, returns an error

saying it can't find the file called urls -depth 3. Any ideas ?


Do you followed the tutorial?
http://www.nutch.org/docs/en/tutorial.html
or check:
http://www.nutch.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/CommandLineOptions


I followed the tutorials to the T. Unfortunately, the wiki is rather out of date. The crawl command is not even listed. I'll be happy to write documentation when I wrap my head around more of the options.

<><>3) null pointer errors in the servlet. This is by far the most frequent

and frustrating error. Essentially when searching, it just dies and
returns a null pointer.
Can you post the complete stacktrace?

This I fixed. It was resulting from improper startup of tomcat. I was starting tomcat from the nutch directory rather than nutch/crawl-00000000/ directory. Is there a way to set the crawl directory in a configuration file? That would help because my current method is just a big hack to change to that directory before starting tomcat. Additionally, I was able to recompile the servlets and modify the xsl files to change the look and feel.


Anyway, many thanks for the assistance. Any help with the configuration parameters will be appreciated.

Ed
