Hi Everyone,

Having recently performed a crawl, and attempting to search the index via my 
browser, I was left looking at a white screen instead of viewing search results.

Upon viewing the text within my cygwin window I immediately noticed the 
following output:

Dedup: done
merging indexes to: results/index
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.hadoop.mapred.FileAlreadyExistsException:
Output directory results/index already exists!
        at org.apache.nutch.indexer.IndexMerger.merge(IndexMerger.java:77)
        at org.apache.nutch.crawl.Crawl.main(Crawl.java:174)

My question... is it necessary for me to delete my existing index folder within 
the results directory before I can view any search results?

Thank you in advance

Lewis Mc
