searchindex fails after upgrade to 5.1.3
 

Hi All,

We are testing upgrade, the whole process went smooth, after upgrade when we try to rebuild search indexes, It throws following error.

root@vb5 core]# php -f searchindex.php
Please enter the path to your vBulletin directory (default ): /var/www/html
PHP Warning: require_once(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/core/searchindex.php on line 104
PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/core/searchindex.php on line 104

Will much appreciate any help.

Thanks

When it asks for the path to your vbulletin directory, try entering /var/www/html/core (with /core on the end).

WHat did you upgrade from? Are you trying to use the sphinx search from vBulletin 4?

We are upgrading from version 4.1.3 to 5.1.3, when we ask for path we did give /var/www/html/core it comes back nothing to command prompt.

any more help ?

Thanks,

We have 2.5 million posts to index, will appreciate any help ..

There is a different set of requirements for sphinx on vBuletin 5, please read the included documentation in the vBulletin do_not_upload folder.

have followed the same instructions under do_not_upload folder for sphinx, sphinx is up and running but still can not search forum, comes back with blank page.

That'll probably be an error of some sort...you need to check the server error logs and find out what the error is, then post it up.

Hi,

Many thanks for you help, after not much of luck with command line search rebuild, i ran search index rebuild through admincp, after 48hrs rebuild, search is working fine.

Thanks for your help.
