Verity search problems

[Mattwhoo]

The verity is results are coming back with no data in the query set. The weird
thing is it will work just fine 30 seconds later and then the same thing will
happen. The collection has been reindexed and it doesn't seem to make much of a
difference. Anyone had any experiance with this? Note we are also using the k2
server to access the collection.

Same problem over here! We run CFMX 6.1 on win2k and our verity ran without
problems for a long time. But now, everytime we update/refresh a collection
it's empty therafter. Unfortunately we didn't noticed this behavior at once, so
we can't say what change might have caused our problem, but it seems our recent
uninstallation of cf5 (which we had left on the system after updating to cfmx )
has something to do with it...

We do nothing special. We just trying to populate a collection with a query.
If this query has for example 10 rows, and the do cfsearch with an empty
criteria, we get a collection with 10 absolutely empty rows exept the field
"recordssearched".

We tried to fix our neo-verity.xml file by replacing it with the default with
no effect. We reinstalled the language packs (I forgot, we search in german),
no effect either. We searched the net for ours, without finding anything
usefull.

Does anyone has an Idea or Matt could you get rid of your problem?

Regards,

Sebastian

Thanks for your reply unfortunately I haven?t had to much time to spend on this
problem but I still don?t have a solution. If I come up with something i will
be sure and let you know. One question though are you guys using the K2 server
to access the collections?

Not anymore. We did on previous sites, but then switched to the cfbased stuff,
as we found it easier to use and administrate. Although both versions worked
(once). Actually the K2 server is disabled on our system.

Matt,

after searching the internet for nearly a week I figured it out for me! I
found the final hint in the
[url]http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/releasenotes/mx/releasenotes_mx_j2e[/url]
e_p2.html, although we're not using J2EE, but an ordinary professional server
configuration:

Verity searches (Windows only) If you previously added cfusion\bin or
cfusion\verity\_nti40\bin to your system path for ColdFusion 5, you must remove
it before upgrading to ColdFusion MX in order for ColdFusion MX to find the
correct Verity DLL files.

We hadn't got cfusion\verity\_nti40\bin but cfusion\verity\_nti40\ in the
path. I think we added it while configuring the K2-server and using the verity
tools (we should use mor comments white configuring). Anyway, as we do not use
k2-mode anymore, I removed that path-entry, rebooted the box and everything
runs fine again.

Hope that helps,

Sebastian
