[Egothor-tech] Egothor installation and configuration on Tomcat

[Daniel]

Hi folks,

 I asked a couple of general questions about EGothor Stemmer engine before
- thanks for your replies. Now I have a couple of questions regarding
building an Egothor WAR and installing it under Tomcat Web App hierarchy
and - very importantly - creation of local index for text search for the
locally stored content ( in the MySQL Database running on the same host
as Tomcat is).
  I tried to follow ANt build steps described here:
http://www.egothor.org/book/bk01ch03s03.html
 - but haven't found the build.xml.web build copnfig file - there is
build.xml.webapp one instead, so it created the Egothor.war file in my
EGothor installation folder and also created $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/egothor
folder in my  Tomcat installation folder with basic classes located in
the ./WEB-INF/classes/egothor folder.
  However, contrary to the instructions on the Doc page above - there is
no "indices" subfolder inside of which is a directory named index.api.
In order to find the indices, Tomcat uses the search-contexts.xml file
in the WEB-INF directory of the Egothor webapp.

  Questions:
  1. Is there another ANT task that I should've run to get that folder
created - or I have to do it manually and create the
"search-contexts.xml" file manually?
  2. Please share steps that need to be made in order to index my local
content - stored as text file in a directory and (for the future
integration with a Content Management System) - in RDBMS like MySQL.

  My current Egothor installtion on Tomcat can be quiered on this URL:
  http://66.160.142.4:8080/egothor/en/index.html

  - but it obviously doesn't find any documents since there is no index
configured whatsoever.

  Thanks again to this forum - I'm looking forward to your copmments.
