indexing issue on startup

I'm testing alfresco to learn about it. I have my ldap-ad and passthru auth working mostly how I want. And then I created a site and uploaded a bunch of docs to it through CIFS (since I cannot upload folders through the website).After uploading the bunch of files, search isn't working, and I'm seein

It seems like during sync up of solr with alfresco. It is throwing error due to some unexpected inputs. This issue seems to be comes up in many cases after solr is being introduced. Try replacing solr with lucene delete everything related to solr indexes.

This is a brand new install though. I don't even know if Lucene is running.

Okay so I resolved this.

1) I decided I should re-index the things, and since this is 4.2d it's using solr. So I followed this: http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Ftasks%2Fsolr-reindex.html

2) I then had issues with files not being lockable. I have alf_data mounted to an nfs share. So for testing purposes I added "nolock" to fstab. This makes it so only local (not network) locking is observed. For now this is sufficient

3) After rebooting, it started up and I tried to shut it down. It had not completed re-indexing. So after some trial and error, I delete the index again. I then started it up, and no errors were being reported. After a little while (like 10 minutes) I searched and now I'm getting the ability to search for files!

All the while this is monitoring catalina.out since my alfresco.log doesn't seem to be working right just yet.

This is just basic indexing I'm doing so far, not full text indexing just yet.

Thanks for the help anyways, but this is solved as far as I can tell.
