Nutch 1.11 crawl Issue

Question

I have followed the tutorial and configured nutch to run on Windows 7 using Cygwin and i'm using Solr 5.4.0 to index the data

But nutch 1.11 is having problem in executing a crawl.

Crawl Command $ bin/crawl -i -D solr.server.url= http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr /urls /TestCrawl 2

Error/Exception

Answer 1

I can see there are multiple problems with your command, try this:

bin/crawl -i -Dsolr.server.url=http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/core_name path_to_seed crawl 2

The first problem is that there is a space when you pass the solr parameter. The second problem is that the solr url should include the core name as well.

Answer 2

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.
