We are attempting to deploy umbraco 7.1.x websites with a full file/DB copy. After this full copy is completed successfully, we want to do the following:

1. Regenerate the XML Cache (umbraco.config) file
2. reindex examine

This is proving very problematic.

In ApplicationStarted, I put the following code:

var cs = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
        cs.RePublishAll();

        var deployingFlag = System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/App_Data/deploying.txt");
        if (File.Exists(deployingFlag))
        {
            File.Delete(deployingFlag);

            LogHelper.Info<ReindexOnStartHandlers>(string.Format("Preparing to Reindexing on ApplicationStart"));
            foreach (var index in _indexes)
            {
                LogHelper.Info<ReindexOnStartHandlers>(string.Format("Reindexing {0} on ApplicationStart", index));
                var indexer = ExamineManager.Instance.IndexProviderCollection[index] as LuceneIndexer;
                indexer.RebuildIndex();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            LogHelper.Info<ReindexOnStartHandlers>(string.Format("Skipping Reindexing on ApplicationStart because deployingFlag was not set"));
        }

When the website boots up, the indexes are corrupted. This particular site has uBlogsy. The uBlogsy Latest Posts feed leverages examine. The Latest Posts is empty after a site deploy, so I can tell the examine indexes failed. If I go into the Examine Dashboard and reindex the site there, my latest posts come back.

I suspect that what is happening is that on ApplicationStarted, I programatically reindex things and then umbraco automatically reindexes things. I think there is some sort of race condition maybe and then things are corrupted.

Anyone ever tried anything like this? Any clues? Thanks!
