Thats the way I set it up at first. This time, I started with a blank slate, unpacked nutch and tomcat, unpacked nutch-0.8.war into the webapps/ROOT and left the deployed app untouched.
The above means that you have an empty nutch-site.xml under webapps/ROOT and you have a nutch-default.xml with a searcher.dir property = crawl. Am I correct? cos you left the deployed web app untouched? no?
I then pointed the "crawl" symlink in the current dir to point to the "crawls" directory, where my search-servers.txt (with two "localhost port" entries). In the "crawls" dir I also have two nutch-built indexes.
If I remember it correctly I had some trouble with symlink once but I don't exactly remember why.. maybe you can try without symlink..
Now, I start nutch distributed search servers on each index and start tomcat from the dir containing the "crawl" link. I get no results at all. If I change the link to point to "crawls/crawl1", the search works
I am guessing the above is also a symlink.. hmm.. maybe it has something to do with distributed search and symlink.. no?
i.e. I get a couple of results. What seems to be the problem is inserting the distributed search server between the index and tomcat. Nothing I do makes the least bit of difference. :\
t.n.a.
