[Xapian-discuss] omindex => Unknown extension

[Cedric Jeanneret]

Hello!
having the same here. Solved by adding some ram in my server.
Maybe external calls can't be done properly, and omindex crashes when launching programs such as antiwor, pdftotext and so on...

Hope this can help you...

Regards,

C.
