WebDAV uploads not indexed?

[manfred99]

Hi@all!

After uploading text-files via WebDAV they appear in Alfresco as expected. When I search for content - nothing is found. Searching for title-words finds the docs. Does WebDAV-upload not index the content of files?

Importing the same documents from Alfresco makes them indexed as normal and their content can be found.

Did I misunderstand the indexing mechanism?

Tested with pdf's also - same result.
Tomcat5 shows no errors in its console. Can anybody tell me the location (if at logged at all) of the indexer-logs? Maybe there is someting in…

Webdav uses the same process to add files to the repository as the web client so there's no reason for the content not be indexed.

You'll find the index files lucene produces under the alf_data folder. The location of this is dependent on where you set it to be in your custom repository.properties file.

If you didn't set this property you should find the alf_data folder under the appserver's bin directory.

The location of the index files was clear to me - I cannot find the indexer-logfiles….if there are such ones.

The problem is reproduceable. No file uploaded via WebDAV is indexed. The same files uploaded from inside alfresco are indexed.

Version info:
Alfresco 1.4, Tomcat5, MySQL5, JDK/JRE1.5 running on Windows2000.
WebDAV-client used for upload: EngInSite DataFreeway.
