+ PHP Warning: file_get_contents(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
-You need to adjust the [open_basedir](http://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:

### PHP timzeone warnings
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
- ; http://php.net/date.timezone
+ ; https://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = 'America/Denver'
Or
and recompile (`cmake .. && make`).
+## 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
+for `--osm2pgsql-cache`. Also make sure that overcommitting memory is
+allowed: `cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory` should print 0 or 1.
+
+If you are using a flatnode file, then it may also be that the underlying
+filesystem does not fully support 'mmap'. A notable candidate is virtualbox's
+vboxfs.
+
+### nominatim UPDATE failed: ERROR: buffer 179261 is not owned by resource owner Portal
+
+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
+the import again worked.
### The website shows: "Could not get word tokens"
`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).

sudo systemctl restart httpd
-### "must be an array or an object that implements Countable" warning in /usr/share/pear/DB.php
-
-As reported starting PHP 7.2. This external DB library is no longer maintained and will be replaced in future Nominatim versions. In the meantime you'd have to manually change the line near 774 from
-`if (!count($dsn)) {` to `if (!$dsn && !count($dsn))`. [More details](https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues/1184)

### 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`.

-### 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'](http://pear.php.net/package/DB/) installed.
-
- sudo pear install DB
### I forgot to delete the flatnodes file before starting an import.
once per day and apply them **separately** using
./utils/update.php --import-diff <filename> --index
