start searchd error

[潘建州]

Hi, I got below warning message today when I restart searchd?

Does anyone know how to fix?

I’ve just checked the sphinx forum, and found nothing related such an issue. However, feel free to visit http://sphinxsearch.com/forum/ and ask for comments on the matter.

Anyway, provided that you won’t get something useful from the sphinx forum, your best bet is to get the backups, and restore main1.* index files from a known good state, then reindex everything since then. If you have no backups of sphinx db files, then remove the main1.* files only, recreate them using

indexer main1 --config /usr/local/etc/piler/sphinx.conf

and then reindex everything using

 reindex -a

Then be sure to start backing up the main[1-9].* index files every day.

Great, It’s OK now, thanks.

OK.
