[EP-tech] Re: epindexer unable to start

epindexer.pid is required for starting and stopping the indexer service (epindexer). The only way to get rid of it is to avoid running the indexer or run the indexer in the shell rather than as a daemon (check $ eprints3/bin/indexer --man) but if you're having problems with epindexer.pid I wonder if there is an underlying problem with the indexer or an indexer job.

What do you mean by 'kills' the service?

Cheers
Mark

Hi

The "epindexer.pid" being gnerated in /var/lib/eprints3/var/ keeps preventing epindexer from getting restarted. How to prevent this process id from being generated? which ultimately kills the eprints service. 

with thanks
