I'm running aspseek 1.2.10 on a RedHat 7.3 since a few weeks, and it was working alright until now, when the index process halts after several hours.
The database now has a total of 248400 documents. On monday I observed the error "MySQL server has gone away" reported on this list and set the max_allowed_packet=10M variable on my.cnf as John advised. In the new run index worked fine for 9 hours, and then begin to report the following on logs.txt: Got next 1 URLs for: 0.001 seconds. Queued docs: 630.Time 1034163064-1034163065.Not available! What is not available? Doing a strace I notice this line: read(3, 0x984c8b8, 81920) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) So maybe the connection to the database is dead. Doing "mysqladmin processlists" shows a connection that is idle since index is reporting the error, then from the database side the connection is not closed but index can't fetch new documents. I'll do a "index -E" and start the process again, but I wonder if I have to repeat this process every day. Ernesto.
