11. Join me in waiting for an answer to how to get the Xindice 1.1 command line tool working. :)
Kim,
I have solved it - at least for my set up. The necessary files are NOT in EITHER of the zipped war or zipped jar binary files!!! So, if I have grasped this correctly although binaries for Windows are made available for download they don't contain the necessary files to actually run the command line interface.
I downloaded the source zip file and had a look inside it using WinZip and noticed it had the magic config\commands.xml so I unzipped and installed it in X:\xindice-1.1b3, indicating Yes To All to overwrite files already there from the zipped war and jar downloads.
I ran a xindice command from the command line and it all works - at least it will create a test collection.
Just typing
xindice
at the command line gives a response indicating parameters etc that the command line tool will accept.
Then if I use the browser to access http://localhost:8080/xindice/?/db/system/SysConfig&database.xml I can see that a test collection has been added to the database.
Hm ... I wasted about 8 hours trying to get binaries to work which didn't have the necessary files in them to make the command line interface work.
Hm.
