Why I'm getting this message when I try to use tika?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/pyshared/test.py", line 124, in <module>

me too. Does anyone keep maintaining this project?

Hey @ragehead , Just download the jar file from https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tika/tika-server/

Suppose you downloaded tika-server-1.24.jar and tika-server-1.24.jar.md5 in a folder tika-server. Then just copy those two files to /tmp/ like sudo cp tika-server/tika-server-1.24.jar /tmp/tika-server.jar and sudo cp tika-server/tika-server-1.24.jar.md5 /tmp/tika-server.jar.md5

Thanks

So some systems won't let you write to /tmp and as such it won't create the log files that tika-python needs to read for the background tika server. Recommend you make sure your system permissions allow writing to /tmp. Thanks.
