Rebuild search index failure? [message #187976] Thu, 12 November 2020 11:09 Go to next message

Using version 3.1.0 on Hostgator Baby shared webhosting.

Messages I knew were in database weren't being found in searches, so I tried rebuilding the search index.

Within about 15 minutes, the following messages appeared:

5.42% done; ETA: 25.00 minutes
10.85% done; ETA: 14.93 minutes
16.27% done; ETA: 11.75 minutes

Since then it's been over 8 hours, with no further progress indicated, and no error messages.

The forum is locked.

This can't be normal, can it?

I haven't received a CPU restriction notice from Hostgator, and Cpanel shows 0% utilization.

SSH is a jailed shell and won't show me the full process list.

Unfortunately I'm a php and mysql newbie, so I don't know how to carry out diagnostics.

The forum has just over 18,000 messages. I sure would hate to nuke the db and start all over from scratch.

I'll greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

The process obviously terminated and now some messages are indexed and some are not.
Log in to the Admin Control Panel and unlock/ re-enable your forum.
Every empty search on the forum will index a couple of messages, so over time it should auto-correct.

Thank you many times over! That seems to have worked.

Do non-blank queries also help index the message base, or just empty searches?

It's off topic, but I discovered something interesting in the process of following your instructions. I initially misread your advice, and unlocked the forum files instead.

After I re-locked them, none of the page formatting worked. No images, no css, just plain text.

Opening an SSH instance and doing chmod go+r on all the files solved the problem.

find . -depth -exec chmod go+r {} \;

Hope I didn't make any readable that shouldn't be.

All seems to be working now, so no harm done.

Thanks again for your patient help!

Thanks again. Successfully rebuilt the search index from ssh (shell) with

nice -10 php indexdb.php yes

It took just under 14 minutes to index about 19,000 messages, apparently without hitting the 25% cpu load limit.

We need to get this fixed in the next release.
For now, just uncomment the db_lock and db_unlock statements in indexdb.php.
