Any more details about that? Did you have a clean install? that means no 
other tomcat around?

We call this way of indexing: indexqueue. it is fully functional for: 
pages, tca tables and files. We are currently working in the workspaces 
support, so that published stages will be indexed once they are published.

space on the server is the only issue. you will need multicore for the 
different languages of your website or if you want to have an index for 
your dev and live enviroment
