I am having a problem creating an index for about 276,000 documents. I successfully created a TextIndexNG index for the documents by indexing 50,000 at a time. If I tried to do everything at one time, it would work for about six or seven hours, and then return with zer0 items indexed. Before I added the indexed items, my database size was about 360MB. Well, I decided that I needed to make a few changes, so I cleared the index. Then I packed the database. However, the database size is now 2023.7M. When I try to repack the database, I get an error message telling me that there have been no changes since the last pack. Also, I can't add any indices. I get a message that the connection was refused when attempting to contact the server. There are no messages in Z2.log indicating that there is a problem, and no tracebacks from python. The environment is: Zope 2.5.1 Python 2.1.3 Linux (Red Hat 8.0) kernel 2.4.18-3 The machine has 768MB of memory and 11GB of free hard drive space. Can anyone give me some pointers? Dave
