Hi Brian I think your problem is the missing xindice-1.1b1.jar file (it comes with xindice %xindice-home%/java/lib/xindice-1.1b1.jar)
I have solved my problems, which were very simular to yours by adding this jar to the coocon jars. Without xml-rpc you get exactly this strange no-content-html-page It actually the first line Mark wrot: >Please note that since Xindice 1.1 uses xml-rpc, >you'll need to put xmlrpc-1.1.jar in: > >$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/lib I just forgot to do this, maybe the same with you. regards
