then you can resume with the following command:
```sh
-./utils/setup.php --index --create-search-indices --create-country-names
+nominatim import --continue indexing
```
If the reported rank is 26 or higher, you can also safely add `--index-noanalyse`.
-### PHP "open_basedir restriction in effect" warnings
+### PostgreSQL crashed "invalid page in block"
- PHP Warning: file_get_contents(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
+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.
-You need to adjust the
-[open_basedir](https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.open-basedir)
-setting in your PHP configuration (`php.ini` file). By default this setting may
-look like this:
+If it happened during index creation you can try rerunning the step with
- open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/
-
-Either add reported directories to the list or disable this setting temporarily
-by adding ";" at the beginning of the line. Don't forget to enable this setting
-again once you are done with the PHP command line operations.
-
-
-### PHP timzeone warnings
-
-The Apache log may contain lots of PHP warnings like this:
- `PHP Warning: date_default_timezone_set() function.`
-
-You should set the default time zone as instructed in the warning in
-your `php.ini` file. Find the entry about timezone and set it to
-something like this:
-
- ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
- ; https://php.net/date.timezone
- date.timezone = 'America/Denver'
-
-Or
-
-```
-echo "date.timezone = 'America/Denver'" > /etc/php.d/timezone.ini
+```sh
+nominatim import --continue indexing
```
-### nominatim.so version mismatch
-
-When running the import you may get a version mismatch:
-`COPY_END for place failed: ERROR: incompatible library "/srv/Nominatim/nominatim/build/module/nominatim.so": version mismatch`
-
-pg_config seems to use bad includes sometimes when multiple versions
-of PostgreSQL are available in the system. Make sure you remove the
-server development libraries (`postgresql-server-dev-9.5` on Ubuntu)
-and recompile (`cmake .. && make`).
+Otherwise it's best to start the full setup from the beginning.
-## I see the error "ERROR: permission denied for language c"
-
-`nominatim.so`, written in C, is required to be installed on the database
-server. Some managed database (cloud) services like Amazon RDS do not allow
-this. There is currently no work-around other than installing a database
-on a non-managed machine.
-
-
-### I see the error: "function transliteration(text) does not exist"
-
-Reinstall the nominatim functions with `setup.php --create--functions`
-and check for any errors, e.g. a missing `nominatim.so` file.
-
### I see the error: "ERROR: mmap (remap) failed"
This may be a simple out-of-memory error. Try reducing the memory used

+Several users [reported this](https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues/1168)
+during the initial import of the database. It's
something PostgreSQL internal Nominatim doesn't control. And PostgreSQL forums
suggest it's threading related but definitely some kind of crash of a process.
Users reported either rebooting the server, different hardware or just trying
to get the full error message.
-### On CentOS the website shows "Could not connect to server"
-
-`could not connect to server: No such file or directory`
-
-On CentOS v7 the PostgreSQL server is started with `systemd`. Check if
-`/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service` contains a line `PrivateTmp=true`. If
-so then Apache cannot see the `/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432` file. It's a good security
-feature, so use the
-[preferred solution](../appendix/Install-on-Centos-7/#adding-selinux-security-settings).
-
-However, you can solve this the quick and dirty way by commenting out that line and then run
-
- sudo systemctl daemon-reload
- sudo systemctl restart httpd
-
-
### Website reports "DB Error: insufficient permissions"
The user the webserver, e.g. Apache, runs under needs to have access to the
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO "www-data";

-The PostgreSQL database, i.e. user `postgres`, needs to have access to that file.

### I forgot to delete the flatnodes file before starting an import.
That's fine. For each import the flatnodes file get overwritten.

## 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.
-
### Can I import negative OSM ids into Nominatim?
-See [this question of Stackoverflow](https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/64662/nominatim-flatnode-with-negative-id).
-
-### Missing XML or text declaration
-
-The website might show: `XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity Location.`
-
-Make sure there are no spaces at the beginning of your `settings/local.php` file.
-
-
+No, negative IDs are no longer supported by osm2pgsql. You can use
+large 64-bit IDs that are guaranteed not to clash with OSM IDs. However,
+you will not able to use a flatnode file with them.
