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`.
+### 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
+nominatim import --continue indexing
+```
+
+Otherwise it's best to start the full setup from the beginning.

something PostgreSQL internal Nominatim doesn't control. And PostgreSQL forums

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

-
-### "must be an array or an object that implements Countable" warning in /usr/share/pear/DB.php

-The warning started with PHP 7.2. Make sure you have at least [version 1.9.3 of PEAR DB](https://github.com/pear/DB/releases)
-installed.
-
### Website reports "DB Error: insufficient permissions"
-The user the webserver, e.g. Apache, runs under needs to have access to the Nominatim database. You can find the user like [this](https://serverfault.com/questions/125865/finding-out-what-user-apache-is-running-as), for default Ubuntu operating system for example it's `www-data`.

-When running SELinux, make sure that the
-[context is set up correctly](../appendix/Install-on-Centos-7/#adding-selinux-security-settings).
+When you recently updated your operating system, updated PostgreSQL to

### Setup.php fails with "DB Error: extension not found"
Make sure you have the PostgreSQL extensions "hstore" and "postgis" installed.

-### Setup.php reports "Cannot redeclare getDB()"
-
-`Cannot redeclare getDB() (previously declared in /your/path/Nominatim/lib/db.php:4)`
-
-The message is a bit misleading as PHP needs to load the file `DB.php` and
-instead re-loads Nominatim's `db.php`. To solve this make sure you
-have the [Pear module 'DB'](https://pear.php.net/package/DB/) installed.

- sudo pear install DB
### 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.
