0 down vote favorite I am trying to use nutch 1.6 from the windows environment but every time I try to run as per the procedure given in the site Nutch Tuorial Apache I always end up with the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Failed to set permissions of path: \tmp\hadoop-ajayn\mapred\staging\ajayn-1231695575\.staging to 0700 I have been searching extensively over the net but there is no concrete solution. Please note that I have no hadoop instances installed or running in the system and my sole purpose is the try out nutch as a web crawling agent. Is it even possible to run nutch 1.6 in windows and if yes any pointers as to how to go about it and avoid the above exception. PS: if it helps, the /tmp/ folder has a Read Only attribute attached to it and it does not change even if you try to do so. Also from cygwin I have tried to set the file permissions 777, but every time I try to run the nutch instance, a new folder eg: "ajayn-1231695575" is created that does not have any execution rights.
