If the reported rank is 26 or higher, you can also safely add `--index-noanalyse`.
+### PostgreSQL crashed "invalid page in block"
+
+Usually serious problem, can be a hardware issue, not all data written to disc
+for example. Check PostgreSQL log file and search PostgreSQL issues/mailing
+list for hints.
+
+If it happened during index creation you can try rerunning the step with
+
+```sh
+./utils/setup.php --create-search-indices --ignore-errors
+```
+
+Otherwise it's best to start the full setup from the beginning.

### I forgot to delete the flatnodes file before starting an import.
## Running your own instance
-### Can I import multiple countries and keep them up to date?
-
-You should use the extracts and updates from https://download.geofabrik.de.
-For the initial import, download the countries you need and merge them.
-See [OSM Help](https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48843/merging-two-or-more-geographical-areas-to-import-two-or-more-osm-files-in-nominatim)
-for examples how to do that. Use the resulting single osm file when
-running `setup.php`.
-
-For updates you need to download the change files for each country
-once per day and apply them **separately** using
-
- ./utils/update.php --import-diff <filename> --index
-
-See [this issue](https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues/60#issuecomment-18679446)
-for a script that runs the updates using osmosis.
