[aseek-users] Computer lost power during indexing, on index -D I get a core dump.

[Dr. John Takacs]

I had just completed spidering 1.5 million URLs and experienced a power failure.  Obviously a hard shutdown.   My count was at 1.5 million URLs as I had just done an index -S prior to the crash.   I re-booted, and when I went to execute index -D, I got a core dump.  It stalled at calculating ranks and then gave the core dump.   Well, wanting to solve this on my own (dumb mistake), I decided to backup mysql database and back up the aspseek/var directory per a message Kir wrote.   I then cleaned out aspseek and reinstalled it.   I then deleted the reinstalled apseek/var directory and placed my backup apseek/var directory there.   I then executed index -D.   It went through its customary display of information, and when it got to calculating ranks, it said:   Calculating ranks  [Aborted....   I need some help!  What can I do?  At least I have my URLs backed up, but I really don't want to go through that again.   Any ideas?   Thanks in advance.   John
