Bit more information on this, I downloaded Umbraco source 7.3.5 and then did index rebuild with break points visual studio picks up exception in the UmbracoDataService on line 21:

        public string MapPath(string virtualPath)
    {
        return HostingEnvironment.MapPath(virtualPath);
    }

MapPath is somehow being passed a blank virualPath when doing full re index and that is causing it to barf.

Going to debug a bit more to see whats going on.

Hi Ismail

Thanks for the pointer.

It's a bit weird though since I discovered that I had around 9 blank media items (where the media item is created but there is no physical file mapped to it) - But they all existed in the recycle bin? I don't think that it makes sense that trashed files are being indexed too?

But I emptied the recycle bin and then the indexer started running - But now I have a lot of entries like

2016-03-17 14:17:10,846 [P3584/D45/T106] ERROR UmbracoExamine.DataServices.UmbracoLogService - Provider=PDFIndexer, NodeId=20172 System.Exception: UmbracoExamine.FileIndexer: Extension '.png' is not supported at this time

Eventually the indexer just stops saying one should check the log file...feeling a bit lost now...

Ignore those errors I did create post about that and pointed Shannon to it.

Just check you have content you should

Hmmm

Nope, index still says it's 0 - After a while where the indexer has been running I get a red warning message in the ui saying "Server error: Contact administrator, see log for full details. Failed to check index processing"

So I guess it's never finishing?

When I check the logfile I just see entries like the one posted above :-/.

Jan,

How many media items do you have? Are you pdfs all located in one place / folder? If they are then update the exmaine pdf indexer to only index that folder see if that works?

Those png / jpg errors are misleading they are not the issue. When i had this issue i stepped through examine code with debugger and found that media items with no file stopped indexing. On my one now it indexes and i still see those png / jpg errors.

Hi Ismail

There are around 880 items - The PDF files are unfortunately stored wherever the editor has felt for storing them so it's not restricted to just one folder.

I just discovered that I'm getting a server error in my console log saying POST http://mysite.com/umbraco/BackOffice/Api/ExamineManagementApi/PostCheckRebuildIndex?indexerName=PDFIndexer 500 (Internal Server Error)

Any clues what that might be? I'm a bit clueless regarding this.

Hi again

Ok, still get the above errors and stuff when I try to index - However! I have some files in the index now.

I used the good old trick...namely bumping the /config/ClientDependency.config version number and then I recycled the app pool and all of the sudden there were files in the index - I actually also deleted the files in /TEMP/ClientDependency/ - But I'm 99% certain that I did not have to do that.

When I try to rebuild the files remain in the index even though it still acts weird though.

Thanks for all your efforts Ismail :)

EDIT: Feel free to buy a box of the best mangos you can find on me - Soon the season is starting, right? :)

So just for future reference if others people come across this head-scratching issue I can confirm that upgrading to v1.0.2 of the UmbracoExamine.PDF indexer solves the indexing issue Ismail and I experienced whenever there are "blanks".
