When attempting to re-create my index, I receive the following error: java.io.IOException: Cannot delete C:\CatalogCollections\Live\_2s.cfs at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.create(FSDirectory.java:198) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory(FSDirectory.java:144) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.<init>(IndexWriter.java:224) I can create my index and index data with no problems. If I attempt to re-create the index before I ever perform a search, the index is re-created with no exceptions. But once I perform a search and then attempt to re-create the index, I always receive the IOException. To re-create the collection I am using: IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(indexDir, new StandardAnalyzer(), true); To search the index, I am using: MultiSearcher and QueryParser I do not understand how the search could contribute to the exception I am seeing. Totally baffled. Any way to determine what "other" process is using the file mentioned in the exception? I'm running: Windows XP Tomcat 5.5.9 JDK 1.5.0_04 Lucene 2.0 / 1.9.1/ 1.4.3 Any help greatly appreciated. Charles
