Re: Indexing on Linux systempermissions?

2004-09-09 Thread Doug James
Lawrence,

Let me clarify something from Pete's post. Steve Erat sent me the reply 
saying that the docs are vague and I did find out that Verity works on 
our installation of RH 2.1 AS. There is a hotfix that you know about 
that will get Verity working on most, if not all, distros. BUT, yes you 
knew it was coming, as far as I know the spider is NOT installed with 
linux. Verity will work, you can index many different file types ( I 
don't know about PDF specifically, yet) but there is no spidering.

Lindex was released in one of the DRK's a while back. Lindex is a CF 
packaging of the Lucene product from Apache (I think).

Please keep us all up to date regarding your progress because I am 
pretty sure that most linux users here will be or have faced the issue 
of Verity.

Doug

 Lindex is a CF extension...

 From their site 

 *-

 Lindex, short for 'Lucene index,' is a high-performance,
 full-featured text search engine that allows developers to create
 document collections for easy indexing and quick searching. Because
 the Lindex interface is similar to Verity Search Engine, it will
 already be familiar to ColdFusion developers. The advantage of Lindex
 over Verity is that Lindex is pure Java and ColdFusion, so it can be
 ported to any platform, including Mac OS X.

 We use the database to perform our indexing (we are on RedHat) but I
 had 
 a thought that may or may not affect indexing on linux. The Verity 
 spider, currently, does not get installed on a linux box so if the

Verity indexing, done through CF using the CFINDEX tag, will be run by the
CF server itself.

Just because you can't index files doesn't mean that you can't index
database content, or that the collection itself isn't working. The
collection is really just a directory with a bunch of files in it.

Hmm... what permissions do you have on the directory and file? I would
guess it is a premissions issue.

I have also asked to be a Blackstone Beta Tester, but have not heard
anything either, but I was a tester for Redsky (6.1) and the recent
Update (6.1+) so here is hoping.

Re: Indexing on Linux systempermissions?

2004-09-08 Thread Lawrence Ng
Hi Doug,

I believe so. We are running SuSE Linux 8.2 and may plan to upgrade in
a few months to  SuSE Enterprise Server 9 but not quite sure yet. 

 
The group and owner for the verity directory are coldfusion:coldfusion
for all files and coldfusion:root for the directory itself.  The
coldfusion user has full read/write access to the verity directory. 

 
CF runs as 'cf' on SuSE so I'm not sure if I want the owner to be
apache - the web server itself runs as apache but CF is under a separate
user name.  

Basically does it depend which process will need write access - Cold
Fusion or Apache?

If the collection is not indexing then why would it work when I tried
to cfsearch on our tables then? If it sin't working, I would think that
the collection wouldn't work for indexing the db tables part as well.

 hmmm?



>>> Douglas Knudsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 9/8/2004 8:09:03 AM >>>
seems the collection is not getting indexed.  Sure CF has rights to
the directories?  FYI, once the collection exists, no need to recreate
it.

2004-09-08 Thread Andrew Dixon
I had the same problem as this, but the directory was completely PDF
files and it turn out to be that Verity (included with CFMX) can only
read PDF files up to version 4 and all the files had been made with
version 6, so Verity was ignoring them. I'm not sure if this same
problem exists with Word, Excel, etc. but it could well be. Look at
the MM's "Developing ColdFusion MX Applications" which has a list of
supported file formats.

The version of Verity with CFMX is very old, but will be fully updated
in Blackstone, but that doesn't help you know and didn't help me!!!  I
ended up using a PDF API (PDFBox) to read the text from the files and
then store it in a database and then index the results of a query. A
little around the houses but it worked.

Hope that helps.

Andrew.

 Hi everyone,

 I was able to do verity searching a db (Oracle) under SuSe Linux with
 CFMX 6.1 enterprise.

 My problem is that it is returning 0 results for PDFS, DOCs, TXT, XLS,
 etc. files even though I create a test file with the search word in
 it.

 Is this is Linux/Unix file permission configuration?

 here's a snippet of my coding ...

 

 

 
 
 path="/opt/coldfusionmx/verity/">
 

 
 action="">
 extensions=".txt, .pdf, .html, .htm, .txt, .xls, .doc"
 key="#IndexDir#"
 type="path"
 urlpath="htp://www.whatever.org/thepdfs"
 recurse="No"
 language="English">

 
 The collection #IndexDir# has been indexed.
 

 then use a test search... for the string "computer"

 
 criteria="computer">

 

 File: #Key#

 Document Title (if any): #Title#

 Score: #Score#

 Summary: #Summary#
 

 Result is 0

 =(

 what is up with this?

 thanks,

 Larry
