Nutch problems executing crawl

Question

I am trying to get nutch 1.11 to execute a crawl. I am using cygwin to run these commands in windows 7.

Nutch is running, I am getting results from running bin/nutch, but I keep getting error messages when I try to run a crawl.

I am getting the following error when I try to run a crawl execute with nutch:

Error running: /cygdrive/c/Users/User5/Documents/Nutch/apache-nutch-1.11/runtime/local/bin/nutch inject TestCrawl/crawldb C:/Users/User5/Documents/Nutch/apache-nutch-1.11/runtime/local/urls/seed.txt

Failed with exit value 127.

I have my JAVA_HOME classpath set, and I have altered the host file to include the 127.0.0.1 as the localhost.

I am curious if I am calling the write directory correctly, if maybe that is the problem.

The full printout looks like:

User5@User5-PC /cygdrive/c/Users/User5/Documents/Nutch/apache-nutch-1.11/runtime/local
$ bin/crawl -i -D solr.server.url=http://localhost:8983/solr/ C:/Users/User5/Documents/Nutch/apache-nutch-1.11/runtime/local/urls/ TestCrawl/  2

The hadoop log that I think may have something to do with the error I am getting is:

Answer 1

You are running linux commands from Cygwin and there is no C:\\ path in linux systems. Correct command should be something like

/cygdrive/c/Users/User5/Documents/Nutch/apache-nutch1.11/runtime/local/bin/nutch inject TestCrawl/crawldb /cygdrive/c/Users/User5/Documents/Nutch/apache-nutch1.11/runtime/local/urls/seed.txt

Answer 2

You have answer to your problem in this message:

2016-01-07 12:24:40,360 ERROR util.Shell - Failed to locate the winutils binary in the hadoop binary path java.io.IOException: Could not locate executable null\\bin\\winutils.exe in the Hadoop binaries.

This is happening because hadoop version included with nutch 1.11 is designed to work in linux out of the box and not on windows.

I had same situation and I ended up using nutch1.11 in ubuntu virtual box.

Answer 3

hadoop-core jar file is needed when you are working with nutch

• with nutch 1.11 compatible hadoop-core jar is 0.20.0

• please download jar from this link : http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/h/Downloadhadoop0200corejar.htm

• paste that jar into "C:\\cygwin64\\home\\apache-nutch-1.11\\lib" folder and it will run successfully.

Answer 4

The problem is pretty clear. According to your hadoop log, it cannnot find the winutils.exe file. Include winutils.exe in %HADOOP_HOME%/bin folder
