Searchindex problem

Ì have a problem in my system log for www.voorclientendoorclienten.nl This is part of the error:

2009-04-07 13:13:26,402 ERROR mojoPortal.Business.WebHelpers.IndexWriterTask - System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'E:\inetpub\vhosts\voorclientendoorclienten.nl\httpdocs\Data\Sites\1\index\segments'.
File name: 'E:\inetpub\vhosts\voorclientendoorclienten.nl\httpdocs\Data\Sites\1\index\segments'
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy)
at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share)

There is no segments folder. When I type something in the search box nothing is found, and I cannot see in my system log if the index was recreated. How can I create the index and where should this file come from? It's a fresh installation, haven't been able to work with a build index yet.

Kind regards, Maarten Strobosch

Re: Searchindex problem

Hi Maarten,

The problem is is cannot write the index files because it has insufficient write permissions. If the /Data folder is writable so it can create folders and files it will automatically create the index. Its trying to do that but its throwing this error because it does not have enought permissions. Actually "segments" will be a file not a folder.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Searchindex problem

Hi Joe,

it  would be best to answer with a solution I found to this problem, but also to the blank page problem. There was a test.config file in Data/Searchindex so it didn't write the segments file. After I deleted that file everything works ok. Indeed the page shows op and the problem has been resolved. Setting write permissions on /Data and all subdirectories was one of the first things I did while deploying.

One question though about the searchindex building up. I have waited for a day but can't seem to find any page with the use of a keyword. I tried the * but no luck yet. Could it be pages have to be published first before they apear in searchresults?

Maarten
