Directory lock error with Lucene.Net usage in an ASP.NET MVC site

Question

I\'m building an ASP.NET MVC site where I want to use Lucene.Net for search. I\'ve already built a SearchController and all of its methods, but I\'m getting an error at runtime

Answer 1

try
{
    writer = new IndexWriter(directory, new StandardAnalyzer(), IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.UNLIMITED);
}

catch (LockObtainFailedException ex)
{
     DirectoryInfo indexDirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(directory);
     FSDirectory indexFSDir = FSDirectory.Open(indexDirInfo, new Lucene.Net.Store.SimpleFSLockFactory(indexDirInfo));
     IndexWriter.Unlock(indexFSDir);
     writer = new IndexWriter(directory, new StandardAnalyzer(), IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.UNLIMITED);
}
