Server Restart and indexing/product saving issue

[drnick_1983]

Hi all,

I apologise if this has been discussed before, I have tried a number of searches but not come up with a solution. I am new to magento and our hosted server was restarted due to an issue. the magento site in question now has the following message when saving a new product.

File '/home/[user]/public_html/var/indexer/1//segments_1v9q' is not readable.

The product still saves, but I am assuming its something to do with the indexing. There are a number of .lock files in the locks directory and the filepath above does not contain the file in question.

Any help would be appreciated as I would not like to break this further if I can help it.

Thanks

This looks like the folder for the Lucene Magento search extension. Probably just a permissions issue. Try a recursive chmod to either the webserver/php-fpm user, or "chmod -R 777 indexer" and it should work after that.
