nutch 0.7.2 index.jsp java error on Solaris

[Ron Swartzendruber <sw...@wou.edu>]

Hello--

I just installed nutch 0.7.2 on Solaris, and have successfully crawled my site.  I've deployed the .war file in the servlet container built in to Sun's webserver.  When I try hitting index.jsp, I just get a 500 error.  My server error log reports the following:

[18/Oct/2006:16:05:49] failure (28527): for host NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN trying to GET /nutch/index.jsp, service-j2ee reports: StandardWrapperValve[jsp]: WEB2792: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception

Note that I have edited the nutch-site.xml file in nutch/WEB-INF/classes to include the following:

  <property>
    <name>searcher.dir</name>
    <value>/usr/local/apps/nutch/crawl.wou</value>
  </property>

But the error remains the same.  I noticed a requirement that the .war file be installed in the servlet root context; this is not possible for me because of the server setup.  Is there a way around that requirement?  Is that even the problem here?

Your insight is appreciated!  I'm a java newbie but experienced with Solaris.  If it turns out that there are special requirements for nutch on Solaris, I will attempt to document them and add them to the nutch wiki once the problem is solved.
