For some unknown reason things are all working correctly now, and I didn’t do anything. The only possibility is that when the new server was unplugged from its setting up desk and swapped with the old out-going server and plugged into the Internet, it would not boot; the CPU had died. So a new (and more powerful) one was fitted. I can’t think of any other explanation. Thanks for your help

Please provide more details on what happened.  What do you mean it deleted the PDFs?

 

Could you proved the few lines of stdout when htdig is parsing a PDF?

 

When you run doc2html.pl or acroconv.pl via command-line on a given PDF do you see any text returned?  Not all PDFs have text in them..

some are actually images of text.  These type of PDFs need OCR software to get indexable text out of.

 

You can get more speed by disabling index compression

wordlist_compress_zlib:    false

wordlist_compress:    false

 

Thanks.
