I've installed xindice-1.1 on an Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) system running it's stock tomcat6 by putting the war file, named xinice.war, into tomcat's webapps directory. I also installed the addressbook application, with the mods described in this forum's thread "re: install xindice into tomcat6.0" by Natalia Shilenkova.
When I browse to http://andy:8888/db, I get the "ugly debug tool" and can navigate to db/system/SysConfig, etc. without error. However, I get the following error whenever I try to use the command line tool: /usr/local/java/xml-xindice-1.1/bin$ ./xindice li -c xmldb:xindice://andy:8888/db trying to register database XMLDB Exception 1: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: Collection 'db' cannot store resources (no filer) I can browse to http://andy:8888/addressbook, and I see the application, but when I try the "List Contacts" link, I get "An ERROR has occured!!!" with no additional information. Likewise when I try to add a contact. The tomcat logs have no xindice-related information, other than frequent entries like the following in the catalina log: Dec 7, 2008 8:36:06 PM org.apache.xindice.core.DatabaseChangeObserver$FlushTask run INFO: Successfully flushed 0 collections out of 0 The first step here is to get some useful loggin going here, but I can't figure out how to configure it. Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated! - Andy
