Unable to start 6.3.6 on Windows

[GavinMcL]

Bug Description:

Hi

I can’t get 6.3.6 to start on Windows, it halts with the message

WARNING: GlobalCrashQueryGetRef: thread-local info is not set! Use ad-hoc

I am just using the example manticore.conf which is included in the install with the port numbers revised for my environment.

I haven’t installed executor as I don’t need it yet, I don’t have Docker installed. If I read the documentation correctly (and the forums) it isn't required. I have added buddy_path = # to the conf file.

searchd
{
    listen = 127.0.0.1:9637
    listen = 127.0.0.1:9636:mysql
    listen = 127.0.0.1:9638:http
    log = c:\opt\manticore-6.3.6/var/log/manticore/searchd.log
    query_log = c:\opt\manticore-6.3.6/var/log/manticore/query.log
    pid_file = c:\opt\manticore-6.3.6/var/run/manticore/searchd.pid
    data_dir = c:\opt\manticore-6.3.6/var/data
    query_log_format = sphinxql
    buddy_path = #
}

I’m trying to start it from an Administrator console and specifying full path to searchd and config;

Just to note that version 6.2.12 will start on Windows using the same steps above.

I've attached a zip with the binlog.meta, searchd.log and the mdmp generated. All other files generated were zero length.

[tomatolog]

could you add to your searchd section of the config?

searchd
{
buddy_path = #

and check that all starts well

[GavinMcL]

Hi

I already had buddy_path = # at the end of the searchd section of the config. I tried moving it to the top to be the first line on searchd section just in case, but no change, startup still fails with the same problem.

[tomatolog]

could you try recent package from the dev repository instead of the release?

[GavinMcL]

Hi

I forgot about the dev repo - thanks. I have tried 6.3.7 475f52e66@24110510 dev and that starts ok on Windows, and works ok with my config.

I noticed that SHOW TABLES now returns the index name column as Table where in 5.0.2 and 6.2.12 it returned as Index - is that a change that will continue?

[tomatolog]

yes index > table will be breaking change
