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:
+```sh
+nominatim import --continue indexing
+```
- ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
- ; https://php.net/date.timezone
- date.timezone = 'America/Denver'
+Otherwise it's best to start the full setup from the beginning.
-Or
-```
-echo "date.timezone = 'America/Denver'" > /etc/php.d/timezone.ini
-```
### nominatim.so version mismatch

of PostgreSQL are available in the system. Make sure you remove the

+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
