+ <faq>
+ <question>
+ I'm using Xindice 1.1. Where is my database?
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <p>
+ Since Xindice 1.1 the database is running under an application
+ server (e.g. Tomcat). The database configuration is located at
+ [your webapps directory]/Xindice/WEB-INF/system.xml (assuming
+ of course that your war was unpacked by the container).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Xindice configuration, by default, uses "./db" as the database
+ location, which is assumed as a path relative to the webapp's
+ /WEB-INF location. This means that usually the database will
+ be located at [your webapps directory]/Xindice/WEB-INF/db.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This behaviour can be overridden in two ways: either by editing
+ /WEB-INF/system.xml and setting an absolute path as the "dbroot"
+ attribute of the "root-collection" tag, or by setting the Java
+ property "xindice.db.home" to a path that will be the parent for
+ the "./db" directory. As an example, setting the property on the
+ command line with a value of "/var/xindice"
+ (-Dxindice.db.home=/var/xindice) will mean that the database will
+ be found at /var/xindice/db.
