In case an instance goes crazy because of a corrupted index, you can safely delete the index and restart the application. Luckily jackrabbit reindexes the content.

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply

If I remember correctly the Lucene index is used for searching the
repositories. As I am not using this functionality, I a now thinking of
a way to get rid of it. In case this happens again, would it be enough
to delete the lucene index files or will it mess up the system even
more?

My second question is if it is possible to disable the Lucene index.

Cheers
Claudio

Subject: Re: [magnolia-user] Tomcat Restart left a corrupted Magnolia
instance

What does magnolia write to the webapp folder which could become
corrupt? All data should be saved in the Mysql database (I used
Anthony
Ogiers approach for this).

In a default magnolia configuration the lucene indexing information is
stored
under the webapp directory.  Even if you are using mysql, all those
files
under ...webapps/magnolia*/repositories are required.  They are the
lucene
index files.  This should be configured by the
magnolia.repositories.home
property in the magnolia.properties file.

It is recommended to configure your installation to store this
information
outside of the webapps directory structure.


Here is the exception I mentioned, Any input on this would be great,
because magnolia does not seem to be very stable like this (Tomcat
restarts may be necessary quite often):



Restarting tomcat often shouldn't be a problem when the restart is
achieved
cleanly.  The problem isn't so much an issue with Magnolia, but rather
with
the underlying storage mechanism. Specifically, anytime that jackrabbit

isn't shut down cleanly, there is a risk that its file storage is
inconsistent and no longer usable.
