Hello,
I'd like to try and use recoll to power search on a website that has a
lot of documentation files in folders on on the server.
So I'm not using the GUI.
When I try to run recollindex with the -c option I get an error.
$ recollindex -c recoll.conf
Configuration problem: Configuration could not be built:
No/bad mimeview in: /home/chris/.recoll/recoll.conf or
/usr/share/recoll/examples
If I execute recollindex without options it works fine.
What am I missing?
-c designates the directory where configuration files are stored, not the
main configuration file itself (there are other config files in the
directory.
So something like
mkdir myrecollconfig
mv recoll.conf myrecollconfig
recollindex -c myrecollconfig
should work (other files in the directory have defaults).
Cheers,
jf
