Re: java.io.IOException: couldn't delete backup

Lucene writes locks to some directories (java.io.temp system property), so make sure you can write to those. Otis --- Alex Gadea <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am trying to setup a Lucene installation on a Windows 2000 server. > I can not get the IndexWriter to initialize properly. It fails out

java.io.IOException: couldn't delete backup

I am trying to setup a Lucene installation on a Windows 2000 server. I can not get the IndexWriter to initialize properly. It fails out with an IOException error that says it could not delete backup. I have opened up permissions on the directory I am attempting to create the index in as well
