Re: Xindice 1.1b3 install/configuration frustrations on Windows XP

[Kim Daugaard]

Hi Andrew

Thanks.

I am with you to step 10.  I did build (1.1b3) from source so I have 
config\commands.xml

Still the command line tool does not work. What I do not understand is: If 
Xindice is running as a
plug-in under Tomcat, what should then CLASSPATH be set to? Running Xindice 1.0 
CLASSPATH was set to
C:\Xindice\xml-xindice-1.0\java\lib\Xindice.jar

Xindice 1.1b3 does not have this .jar file

Kind Regards
Kim Daugaard

 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.
