I'm having a problem with the Lucene extension here. It worked fine when using the PHP-Java bridge as a standalone server. However, for resource usage reasons, I'd like to use Tomcat instead.

It works, but only sort of. Sometimes (quite often, actually), I get an error page consisting solely of following the text (without anything else, i.e. no debug output whatsoever):

<b>Fatal error</b>: Exponential did not finish its request<br/><p>The execution of Exponential was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.</p>

Clicking on reload, I get the desired search result. My timeout parameters for PHP are set long enough, so that's not it. Any other place I need to set something?

Hi Peter

I haven't used the Lucene extensionin the way you have described so I can't give you specific advice.

Look in your apache error log as well as the eZ error log to see if there are more details as to the cause of the error.

Cheers

I think I found the problem: I needed to change the owner of the var/lucene directory to tomcat5 so that the logs could be written!
