  • You are running Oracle $dbversion under Linux (Intel). Versions of +Oracle prior to 8.1.7 lack the INSO filters used by interMedia. (These filters convert content +stored in a variety of proprietary formats (e.g., Microsoft Word) into plain text or HTML for indexing +and searching.) The best solution is to upgrade the server to Oracle 8.1.7. A workaround is to create the +file \$ORACLE_HOME/ctx/bin/ctxhx +on the Oracle server containing the following lines: +

     #!/bin/sh
 cat \$1 > \$2
