1.4.x - manticore questions

[morph027]

Hi!

I successfully installed a new system w/ piler 1.4.1 and manticore 5.0.2 and real time indexing enabled. New mails appear when they arrive via bcc from mailserver.

Then i exported all mails from my running system (1.3.12) via pilerexport -A and and run pilerimport -d <dir> on the new system. All mails are there and search requests in webui do show them. All good!

Question 1: Do i still need to run cronjobs for indexer.main.sh and indexer.delta.sh?

Question 2: With the 1.3.12 webui, i was able to see the last 1000 mails (limited query, i guess) without any search string (and $config['SPHINX_STRICT_SCHEMA'] = 0;)The new version does not show any results when not entering a search query. Is there something i’m doing wrong? Is this intended behaviour?

By the way, thanks for your effort keeping piler up to date.

#1: yes, you need it, however, it’s possible to use rt index as well. If you are interested, and can afford waiting a day or so, then I’ll document it soon.

#2: Replacing the search engine shouldn’t affect how the gui works. It should show you the last xxx emails. Check the search (manticore) query when you load the search uri.

Btw. I’ve missed properly setting up the index blocks in manticore.conf. They should have the “stored_fields = “ line, see https://bitbucket.org/jsuto/piler/commits/895d0c7fc6b982d7609d21c9a36c80750b8f5214 for more. Note that it stills works with the 1.4.1 settings, however, the manticore data takes more storage than it should. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the info. And no worries about the missing thing. I’m just trying to figure out how the new stuff works.

Check the nginx error log, there must be something in it.

I’m running apache2 instead of nginx, see logs above.

Update: just created a new clean install and everything works !
