[EP-tech] Re: Errors from event queue

Hi Alan,
Restarting the indexer is a very important thing to do - I've been stung many times by this - and always forget.

You can restart the indexer via the command line too:
~/bin/indexer stop
~/bin/indexer start

You can also do:
~/bin/indexer status
- which will tell you when the indexer will next run.

Cheers,
John

Thanks Adam and John,  I've finally managed to see an error message from the indexer trying to process my job!
For clarity to anyone else on the list;

In ~/var/indexer.log  the '~' in this instance effectively means the root of your eprints install (which may or may not be the same place as your eprints user home directory)

Changes to functions called by the indexer may require a restart of the indexer (e.g. via the web interface) rather than, or possibly as well as, a restart of the apache service, in order for the changes to be picked up.

Now to figure out how to make my function work properly!  For some reason the indexer can see my event plugin function but trying to run it from the command line can't see the plugin...

Alan

Hi Alan,
As the event queue jobs are processed by the indexer, you should find things in ~/var/indexer.log

If you're running multiple archives under one install of EPrints, you might not be able to tell which one the error logs are coming from.
You can change that in
~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/log.pl		(commented out code)
or
cfg/cfg.d/core.pl	($c->{show_ids_in_log} = 1;)

Cheers,
John

I've had this problem before.  You know you can trigger event plugins with test script.  See 

https://github.com/gobfrey/tweepository/blob/master/bin/tweepository/update_tweetstreams.pl

Output comes out of STDERR as normal.
