Notice: undefined index ... on all web driven searches

[Helen Lazer]

Dear all,

We have just installed piler on a Centos 6 64bit VPS:

piler 0.1.25-rc2, build 871, Janos SUTO [e-mail]

Build Date: Mon Jun 2 22:23:01 CEST 2014 ldd version: ldd (GNU libc) 2.12 gcc version: gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4) (GCC) Configure command: ./configure --enable-memcached --localstatedir=/var --with-database=mysql --enable-starttls --enable-tcpwrappers

Then, we have imported emails in eml format from different local folders.

All went OK, but whatever searches we try, we get:

Notice: Undefined index: sort in ... search.php on line 28, 174 and 256.

However, the searches are returning results...

I tried to run indexer --all, but it fails with:

Sphinx 2.1.8-id64-release (rel21-r4675) Copyright (c) 2001-2014, Andrew Aksyonoff Copyright (c) 2008-2014, Sphinx Technologies Inc (http://sphinxsearch.com)

using config file '/etc/sphinx/sphinx.conf'... indexing index 'main1'... FATAL: failed to lock /var/piler/sphinx/main1.spl: Resource temporarily unavailable, will not index. Try --rotate option.

I assume indexer is already running and that is why the resource is in use...

Please give me a hint what to do next.

Thank you very much in advance!!!

Helen

Hello Helen,

the php notice error is most likely some unpolished code in the gui, I'll check it soon. However normally you don't run "indexer --all" except install time. Instead use the indexer.*sh scripts shipped with piler. So if you still have results for your queries, then don't run indexer manually, unless you are fixing a sphinx issue.

Dear jsuto,

Thank you for your reply and for the good news (I mean I managed to install it correctly :)!

Is there any possibility to set verbosity level, so no notices to be displayed?

Thank you very much for all you did and do!

Helen

[Janos SUTO]

Yes, it's possible with error_reporting in php.ini. However it would be better to fix these notices. Can you describe in details what you do to make these warnings to happen?

[Helen Lazer]

All I do is this: - I log in as auditor@local - go to Advanced search - fill in either "from" or "To" AND select a time interval " Date from: " and " Date to:"

I hope this helps.

Cheers!

OK, try the following: edit controller/search/helper.php, and add the following at the end of function fixup_post_simple_request():

$this->a['sort'] = "date"; $this->a['order'] = 0;

[Helen Lazer]

Yes, sir! You did it!

Great work, great support, I love it!!!

[Janos SUTO]

You are welcome :-)
