Nutch on FC4

["Robb, Sam" <sa...@timesys.com>]

Hi,

  I'm experimenting with running Nutch under Fedora Core 4.
I'd like to run Nutch using Tomcat 5 started as a service
via /etc/init.d - the default setup under FC4.  However, the
last part of the Nutch tutorial states:

  "The webapp finds its indexes in ./segments, relative to
   where you start Tomcat, so, if you've done intranet crawling,
   connect to your crawl directory, or, if you've done whole-web
   crawling, don't change directories, and give the command:
   ~/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh start"

  I'm new to Tomcat, Nutch, etc. and I'm wondering what I should
do to set things up so that Nutch can find ./segments in the
expected location?

  Thanks,

-Samrobb

You can declare the location of the segments by adding a setting  
nutch-site.xml.

Settings in nutch-site.xml override settings in nutch-default.xml.   
Both files are looked for on your classpath.  It might be clearer if  
you see the source where the files are loaded -- I think it's in  
NutchConf.java.

See the searcher.dir property in nutch-defaults.xml and set it to  
what you want in nutch-site.xml.

Hi

add 
<property>
   <name>searcher.dir</name>
   <value>/path/to/your/segments/dir/</value>
</property>

to WEB-INF/classes/nutch-site.xml

I'm using an absolute path in <value>.
The path should point to the directory that contains the
"segments"-directory.
