[EP-tech] Re: Indexer is not generating related files

Hi guys,

I know this is a bit old but I have the same problem with eprints 3.3.8.
I did a massive import (25000 images) then I run out of space so I had
to stop the indexer while I cleaned up the disk. once the indexer
restarted (indexer start) indexer is running but it is not creating
related images.

eprints is installed as eprints:www-data on ubuntu 11.10

Best,

Denis
