Hi Karl, I installed postgresql database and changed properties.xml accordingly, used executecommand.bat to initialize database, install schema, register solr, filesystem and active directory connectors and ran agents process.
Am able to access the crawler UI at http://localhost:8080/mcf-crawler-ui and define SOLR output connection, file system repository connection and also a job. But my problem is that when I run the job, the status shows "Starting up" and does not change after that. Connection status for Solr connection shows "Connection working" I see nothing in manifoldcf.log. Can you please direct me as to where to look for any errors or how to resolve this ? Thanks and Regards, Swapna. On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 3:38 PM, Karl Wright <daddy...@gmail.com> wrote: > How you add the -D switch for tomcat depends on what platform you are > running tomcat.
