No response from Xindice server when first installed - can anyone help?

[Mark Harrison <mg...@cam.ac.uk>]

Dear Xindice users,

I have installed Xindice 1.0 on a RedHat Linux server running Sun 
Java 1.3 installed via j2sdk-1_3_1_04-linux-i586.rpm

When I start the server using ./start,  I see:


Starting Xindice
----------------

Xindice 1.0 (Birthday)

Database: 'db' initializing
Script: 'GET' added to script storage
Service: 'db' started
Service: 'HTTPServer' started @ http://mlpc-autoid3.eng.cam.ac.uk:4080/
Service: 'APIService' started

Server Running

which suggests that it has found Java - but when I try typing:

xindiceadmin ac -c /db -n addressbook

as in the example, I receive no response - it just hangs.

I have tried to follow the installation notes exactly but it is not 
clear why I don't see the response:

Created : /db/addressbook


Has anyone else experienced the same problem?  Could it be a file 
permission issue or a problem that I started the Xindice server as 
root?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

Enter ulimit at a shell prompt and see what it returns.   Mine is
unlimited.
Some people have been using

    ulimit -s 2048

I haven't had any problems.   Which version of RedHat are you using?

HTH,

Mark

You haven't mentioned whether or not you have ipchains or other 
firewall/port checking software installed?

I think RedHat comes with ipchains by default and it will block access to 
port 4080 resulting in the symptoms you describe.

Try ipchains -L   as the root user to list what your ipchains rules are .....
