Hello!
before scewing tomcat too much...
A little late but probably good advice thankfully it hasn't gone wrong
1.make it sure both indexing and reading processes use the same locking directory (i.e. set it explicitly, take a look in wiky how to)
working on this not so good at Java yet (until recently I mostly worked on Php) , looked on the wiki "how to's" could you be more specific as I couldn't find much on locking directories. But I will struggle on
2. try to execute queries from command line and see what happends
I only exectute from the command line, so so all the info in previous posts is what happens
3. in case your queries use sorting, there is a memory leak it 1.4.1 -> upgrade to 1.4.2
My queries do use sorting! So I have placed the 1.4 final jar onto my classpath and have started 'another' index, as the company I work for is moving home tomorrow may not be able to tell you if that worked till next week mind.
To Dan, the increased memory allocation for Tomcat didn't work unfortunately but I do know a lot more about catalina_opt and Tomcat now which has proved handy for other things.
cheers for all the advice people will keep you posted if I make a breakthrough
thanks for your patience, regards,
JT

Right got back to work with newly created index to try these ideas,

I'm creating them on the command line using a variation on the standard shown in the demo (has some additional optimisation input that is set to default until I can fix this bug).

It definately hangs when shutdown you can't access it, when re-started it just sits there trying to access port 8080

Good news this did work, however I never see tomcat in top or even using ps -A | grep tomcat, the only way I've found tomcat is using ps -auwx | grep tomcat. The output is
*after tomcat shutdown.sh run* ------- root 2266 0.0 3.8 243740 4860 pts/0 S Oct26 0:36 /opt/jdk1.4/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/tomcat/common/endorsed -classpath /opt/jdk1.4/lib/tools.jar:/opt/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/tomcat/bin/commons-logging-api.jar
-Dcatalina.base=/opt/tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/opt/tomcat -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/to root 16050 0.0 0.4 3576 620 pts/0 S 08:41 0:00 grep tomcat ------
I did however find two java proccesses running so I duitifully used kill -9 on both pid's, hey-presto when I restarted Tomcat it ran perfectly. So while I can work around this.... I think, I guess now the question becomes, does
anyone have any advice as to what could be causing this? Bearing in mind I
can still run java proccesses (even create new indexes) on the same machine so it is just Tomcat thats affected.
Meanwhile, I will try as Dan suggested to raise the default memory of Tomcat significantly and run another index (it seems a likely culprit).
Thanks for all the help thus far, its more than appreciated regards,
JT
