Description

We are using MoinMoin on a Solaris Server with an old version of xapian (1.2.7). I want to improve the index Performance, so I changed to version 1.2.18.

Steps to reproduce

1. build new index for our wikis (>40)

2. use the new index
3. switch the webserver on

4. check SystemInfo (was ok)

5. edit a page

Example

I don't remember having seen that already, so I am just guessing:

is it maybe a permissions problem (e.g. because you have built the index as root, but your wiki runs as non-root and thus can not read or write the index)?
