Searching binary files in eZ 4.2

I'm trying to enable searching of binary files (specifically PDFs) on eZ 4.2 without using eZ Find, just the standard eZ Publish search. Is there any up-to-date documentation on this? How can I debug?

In settings/override/binaryfile.ini.append.php I have:

[BinaryFileHandlerSettings]
LogFile=var/log/index.log

but I don't see index.log created in var/log. So I can't even see what's going wrong?

Any ideas?

Use http://projects.ez.no/eztika for indexing binary files. You will need java though.

I wrote an article a while back on binary file indexing using the built-in eZ Find engine: http://share.ez.no/articles/ez-publish/indexing-multiple-binary-file-types

That should help you get up and running.

+1 just installed it today and it's really straightforward. Installed and running in less than 30min that's cool :)

My webserver doesn't support Java :-(, otherwise eztika would be an option. But I found help towards a solution at:

and:

Thanks to everyone for their help :-)
