Was Running 1.1.25 upgraded to 1.1.27 same problem

[Peter Barton]

I have a Server 2025 network shared folder that all users browse to and launch DocFetcher directly from the drive share. I Have successfully run the index process for the shared folder, which is mapped through the drive share path not the local C:\ drive path. Everything works fine and people can access and search documents. However, after a few days or a week of this we will get the message that the 'index is not compatible' and I am forced to re-index the folder again. I was initially running 1.1.25 then upgraded to 1.1.27 and the issue persists. Can anyone please provide some assistance with this?

Thank you,
Peter

Hi Peter,

DocFetcher is not designed to be run simultaneously by multiple users, and index corruption caused by concurrent writes is a known issue. There's a section "Setting up DocFetcher in a multi-user environment" on the DocFetcher wiki that explains this in more detail. See here: https://sourceforge.net/p/docfetcher/wiki/Tips%20%26%20tricks/
