Search fails on Linux/Tomcat bundle PR6

[alexr]

I've now installed Alfresco PR6 on both Windows XP/Tomcat and
linux/tomcat and the installation was pretty straight forward.
Only today I noticed that the "Search" works on the Windows configuration,
but not the Linux configuration.
Since the initial repository contains both a Space  with "Tutorial" in the name as a document (pdf) with "Tutorial" in the name, I searched for the term "Tutorial". On the Windows build I get a search result, but on the Linux version I get no search result (in both cases the Space and the pdf document do reside in the repository).

On the Linux version I use the ./startup.sh and ./shutdown.sh (in the opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin directory) to start and stop Alfresco.

What needs to be changed or added to the configuration to make the search work on the Linux/Tomcat version. The Lucene directories  and .jar file are present.


Kind Regards,

Alex

Existing content (inside Alfresco bundle) wasn't indexed by Lucene. Once we create new content,  we got search results on the Linux version too.

Hi

Out of curiosity, are you running the linux and windows install against the same database?

This could explain it. Each install has the same DB but is storing the content and indexes in local files. The content is bootstrapped the first time, so the first to run with an empty database would bootstrap the tutorial and index it ….

I hope this helps

Cheers

Hi Andy,

We are running the Linux and Windows installations of Alfresco on their own separate MySQL database.
The Windows install was on a regular desktop in the office. The Linux install works like a breeze on a demo XEN server instance in our cybercenter

Kind regards,

Alex
