Hi Julie,
The warning just tells you it is putting the database in the default
location, which is probably not where you want it.
I found a solution, and other hints in http://www.waldhor.com/xindice.htm
But of course it is also in the manual:
http://xml.apache.org/xindice/faq.html#faq-N100AD
See below, I hope it helps.

You can change the location of the db by modifying the system.xml in the
tomcat directory ../webapps/xindice/web-inf. I did the following change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
- Version: $Revision: 1.8 $ $Date: 2002/11/02 06:23:50 $
- Author: Kimbro Staken ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
-->
<xindice>
<root-collection dbroot="c:/programme/xindice1.1/db/" name="db">
<queryengine>
<resolver autoindex="false"
class="org.apache.xindice.core.query.XPathQueryResolver" />
<resolver
class="org.apache.xindice.core.xupdate.XUpdateQueryResolver" />
</queryengine>
</root-collection>
</xindice>
Now the db should be created and used from the directory
c:/programme/xindice1.1/db/.
