I may have found my problem but not sure.... Here's my /usr/local/nutch directory:

Even though I'm sure I followed the tutorial I'm obviously missing something...? Thanks again.

Better still copy the property node and paste it in nutch-site.xml provide the path for the index folder. For ex: If the index folder is stored as home/nutch/crawl - crawldb - segments - index - indexes point searcher.dir to home/nutch/crawl. Hope this helps.

Back to my original problem - I re-ran throught the entire tutorial to ensure I was doing it right and it seems proper.... How do I tell Nutch where to look specifically in the code for the segments and indexes in case it is in the wrong place? All the best, Paul
