Hello, Everyone

Recently after an import I tried to rebuild my category tree. When I do the page stops
loading after it says "Adding Category Tree." What could be the cause of this?

My database only has about 200,000 links. I am not sure if the size of my database is the
problem. Am I wrong?

any suggestions on resovling this problem?

Thanks for your help, :)

That's quite a few links, so it will probably take a while. If you are rebuilding through your browser, then it might be timing out. You may need to run it from shell.

Hello, Adrian

Thanks for the help. I do have a question though.

How would I run the Rebuild Category Tree process through shell?

Thanks,
James

cd into the admin directory, and type:

It worked Adrian!

Thanks for your help :)

The response was..

Adding Category Tree..
Okay!

does this mean it worked?

Yup, though your Category tree can still be broken (and unrepairable) if you've performed modifications to the database between the time you imported and rebuilt the category tree.

Adrian

Unrepairable? But couldn't it be fixed if I cleared the entire database and just imported everything from the beginning again? Just wondering.

Well, unrepairable, except for doing that :)
