Warnings from the search interface are unavailable

Description

This error occurs when permissions are incorrectly set on the public-ui.warnings log file.

Error message

Displayed in the administration interface.

Warnings from the search interface are unavailable.

Cause

This message will be displayed if the $SEARCH_HOME/log/public-ui.warnings file does not appear to be writeable by all users. Since the public search interface may run as a different user to the administration interface, this file needs to be writeable by all users to ensure that the public interface may log warnings to it.

Resolution

  • change the permissions on the $SEARCH_HOME/log/public-ui.warnings file to allow all users to write to it. On Linux systems, this can be achieved by running the following command as an appropriate user (usually the search user): chmod 666 $SEARCH_HOME/log/public-ui.warnings
