Index Search Engine getting stuck

Permalink 1 user found helpful
In version 5.4 - Whenever the Index Search Engine job is run, it runs infinitely. I've looked through the forums, and only found a solution to stop the job (by updating its status to ENABLED in the database) but I'm curious if anyone has experienced anything similar and what the root cause is. The job has completed successfully before, and no real major changes have been made sense... any ideas?

Well I doubled the memory_limit in my php.ini and that seemed to do the trick... seems like a lot of memory is needed for the index search job.

Would you detail out a few steps on how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

There's a couple different ways. If you have access to your php.ini file, find the line memory_limit = 16M and double the value to 32M or 64M (or possibly more depending on your needs).

The other way to do it is in the .htaccess file in the root of your website. In there you can add the line php_value memory_limit 16M and increase the value there.

After I increased the memory limit, I needed to to follow the instruction here to restart the search index:

Just edit the Jobs table and set jStatus to 'ENABLED', then run again from the Dashboard. Once I did that it indexed several hundred pages in 15 minutes.

how do you set the jstatus to 'ENABLED'? I am at /concrete/tools/jobs.php and I am running 5.4.1.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I ran phpinfo and it shows my server has 512mb reserved for PHP, so that may not be the issue.

I'm on a shared hosting account -- could that 512mb be for the entire server (all the sites)? Or is it for my instance of PHP? I'll have to contact my host and find out.

**UPDATE** tech support at my host say that 512mb is reserved for my instance of PHP, not the whole server.

I can interrupt the process by changing the value in MySQL, but I'm not sure the pages are getting indexed.
