The bug is in version 7.3

Download the 7.5 this morning and the following script everything worked great. I decided to just leave the database storage in the default location.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<commands>
    <drop-db name="S-DDEX"/>
    <create-db name="S-DDEX"/>
    <add>/mnt/basex_volume/i4Base-Basex7.3/sample-data/DDEX/</add>
    <create-index type="text"/>
    <create-index type="attribute"/>
    <create-index type="fulltext"/>
    <optimize-all/>
    <info-index type="text"/>
    <info-index type="attribute"/>
    <info-index type="fulltext"/>
    <list name="S-DDEX"/>
    <info-db/>
    <close/>
</commands>

Without console output

Hi Alex,

I assume that the "fulltext" directory was created by the bug I fixed
yesterday; just give it another try.

The @path argument indicates the target path of your added documents
within your database (which can then be listed via <list
name="S-1997"/>.

But I guess you’d like to change the location of your database
directory? This can be done by updating the DBPATH option in the
.basex configuration file [1].
