CFindex generating http 500 internal server error

Report · Jan 14, 2013

I'm currently on CF 9 and moving to 10 shortly so I've tried the "migrate" from Verity to SOLR. That created directories/files, but didn't move the data.

I then tried to index what I normally index to Verity, but with the slightly modified syntax. It runs briefly and gives a http 500 internal server error.

I tried just logging onto the server and running the index from the CF administrator. Same problem.

I tried re-creating the collection from scratch. No joy there either.

Some additional info. Looking at the log files I find:

"Error","jrpp-952","01/14/13","10:21:41","EventV3","org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/PDDocument The specific sequence of files included or processed is: D:\UTEWebsite\admin\indexwebsite.cfm, line: 15 "

I've tried removing the .pdf from the list but it didn't fix the problem. I have way too many files to rename all of the PDFs.

As another addendum, I tried indexing these same files on our new server which is running CF10, and it ran without a hitch so it seems to be a CF9 problem.

I would recommend removing ".cfm" from the list of files to index. We had that in one of our collections, and before we knew it searches were returning summaries that included SQL code, alerting everyone to things like database schema, etc.
