Problem:
I have a problem re-indexing my Magento 1.x website. Sometimes I get the error "There was a problem with reindexing process", but sometimes it's "Cannot initialize the indexer process".
Solutions:
1. Increase memory limit
change .htaccess to increase memory limit to 2GB:
php_value memory_limit 2048M
2. Check if permissions on /var folder allow writing.
Try recommended secure permissions first:
find var/ -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \; find var/ -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \;
3. Run indexer from ssh:
php shell/indexer.php --reindex
or contact us and we'll run it for you - there are more details about any errors during this process
