Hi Calle,

Did you solve this?

First of all, make sure that the account running the application pool has permission to read/write in the Index-folder. And use this to rebuild the index.

Use this piece of code to reset (delete) existing index:

EPiServer.Search.SearchHandler.Instance.ResetIndex( "default" );

Use this piece of code to trigger re-indexing (a background process will be started, so keep the application running):

EPiServer.Search.ReIndexManager reIndexManager = new Search.ReIndexManager();
reIndexManager.ReIndex();

You'll notice that files will be created and deleted in this folder during indexing: ..\Index\Main\. This initial indexing is completed when changes in this folder stops, takes less then a minute on a site with just a few pages in it.

Hi,

I have a problem with episerver 7.5 for content search with Lucene:

  - the content search don't works

  - the file IndexingService/IndexingService.svc is a blank page when I access from browser

  - when I start to build(and delete old data) the index is not created

Thank you!

We're also experiencing problems (EPiServer 7.1).

The following is written to the error log:

2014-04-16 00:00:23,554 [18] ERROR SearchSettings: Update batch could not be sent to service uri 'http://<DOMAIN>/IndexingService/IndexingService.svc/update/?accesskey=local'. Message: 'The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
   at EPiServer.Search.RequestHandler.MakeHttpRequest(String url, NamedIndexingServiceElement namedIndexingServiceElement, String method, Stream postData, Action`1 responseHandler)
   at EPiServer.Search.RequestHandler.SendRequest(SyndicationFeed feed, String namedIndexingService, Collection`1 ids)'
2014-04-16 00:00:23,570 [18] ERROR SearchSettings: Send batch for named index 'serviceName' failed. Items are left in queue.

When we try to browse to the file IndexingService/IndexingService.svc we get a page displaying 500 - Internal server error.

How can one troubleshoot these issues?

This is the best blog post I've read about setting up search http://sveinaandahl.blogspot.se/2013/06/how-to-install-episerver-search-for.html.

I have hade problems with the adress to the search service in web.config where only the server internal ip has worked.

For whatever it's worth, I managed to resolve my 500 error.

I used remote desktop to connect to our server and there browse to the file IndexingService/IndexingService.svc. Got a more detailed error message stating duplicate elements in Web.config.

Now I'm getting other type of errors:

2014-04-17 10:53:19,079 [30] ERROR IndexingService: No match for client IP 192.168.X.XXX. Access denied for access key local.

2014-04-17 10:53:30,389 [104] ERROR IndexingService: Reset of index: '' failed. Index not found!

2014-04-17 10:53:30,389 [120] ERROR SearchSettings: Could not reset index '' for service uri 'http://<DOMAIN>/IndexingService/IndexingService.svc/reset/?namedindex=&accesskey=local'. Message: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
   at EPiServer.Search.RequestHandler.MakeHttpRequest(String url, NamedIndexingServiceElement namedIndexingServiceElement, String method, Stream postData, Action`1 responseHandler)
   at EPiServer.Search.RequestHandler.ResetIndex(String namedIndexingService, String namedIndex)

I am also having problem with this in almost every project. Maby it is time for EPiServer to let everyone use one Find-index for this, instead of this lucene-implementation.
