Error while running Smart Serach Indexer Topic is solved

[Simon Delmotte]

Hello everybody,

I'm facing an error while trying to index my contents with Smart Search Indexer.
After hitting the index button, in the popup window where the progress bar is displayed, I've got the following message :
An error has occured
Form does not exists

Any idea about what is happening?
Regards

More information is required. Which version of Joomla do you have? Does your site have any third party search plugins?

If you do not know, and in any case, to help the volunteers to review the configuration of your site, please post the results from the Forum Post Assistant (FPA) by following the instructions from viewtopic.php?f=714&t=793531.

Hello Toivo,
Thank you for your reply.

The site is running under:
- Joomla 3.8.13
- PHP 7.2.10
- MySQL 5.7.21
I don't know the Apache version

No third party search plugin. Only Joomla! Smart Search and Joomla! Search (which is not used)

An error has occured
Form does not exists

Is that the exact message and is it displayed in English? The Finder indexer has an error message 'An error has occurred' but the second part does not look like it originates from the Joomla core.

You could try to re-install the core Joomla files by going to Components - Joomla! Update and then selecting the tab Upload & Update.

Otherwise, if that does not help, please post the results from the Forum Post Assistant.

Try re-installing the Joomla core files, as instructed above. If that does not help, please post the results from the Forum Post Assistant.

Toivo,
I did the cleaning in my trashed and unpublished articles.
It seems it resolved my problem.
Indexer is running well now.
Tank you for your help.
