Hi,
I too am not getting round this problem. But maybe I didnt understand the documentation good. This is how I got it:
- WebDBInjector injects urls into the webdb
- FetchListTool gets all the urls from the webdb und generates the segment for the
- Fetcher
- UpdateDatabaseTool gets the crawled urls from the segments and saves them into the webdb

this is wanted for the first crawl, but when I inject another url and want to crawl only this one then the FetchListTool generates segments for all the urls from the webdb, also the old ones. So I started to inject into a second webdb und fetched only for this one. After that I updated the original webdb, deleted the second webdb and merged the segments. Well this works fine under linux. But running under windows there stay some locked files, so I cant delete and i cant recrawl because the WebDBWriter is waiting for the lock to be released and that will never be.
So did I understand you correct and it is possible to:
fetch new pages (with a depth of 3 for example)
and
refetch/update existing ones
as independent tasks?
I cant read the tutorial in that way. So please could you explain it a little more?
thx Konstantin

Hello,
I am not sure if I understood you correctly but if you use technique described as "whole web crawling" in tutorial you are not starting from scratch but you can fetch new pages and refetch and update existing ones. But probably I misunderstood your question so please give us more details on the thing you want to achieve -e.g. do you plan to fetch from limited number of sites ?

Regards
Piotr

have been using Nutch for over 1 year now and that is a question that I have allways asked without any answer. I have tried a lot of things, looked in the mail lists, the tutorial, everywhere, but no answer. So, for me, it seems that the only way to keep yourself updated is to start everything all over again. It seems (as far as I know) that Nutch was not designed to allow you to update yourself with only new or modified pages on an existing set of index, db and segments. If someone knows something about this issue, let us know, because this points seems, to me, the bigest problem to, really, start using Nutch on a regular basis in a "production site".
Tanks
