Hi,

I'm trying to set up a personal wiki and I'm having trouble getting search to work. All my searches give zero results. I eventually figured out that the Xapian database that's being created has an empty postlist table. The position and termlist tables are all fine, and when I add new content to the wiki I can see the database is updated and the search terms are in the position table in plaintext. But I can't query for them, even using Xapian's command line tools.

mexon:~/Test/.ikiwiki/xapian/default$ ls -l
total 76
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mexon mexon     0 Dec 16 15:56 flintlock

mexon:~/Test/.ikiwiki/xapian/default$ delve -a .
All terms in database:
mexon:~/Test/.ikiwiki/xapian/default$ 

I don't know how to debug from here. Clearly ikiwiki is doing something right when it's building the database, but one of the tables is missing. Can anyone guess what's wrong, or tell me where to start troubleshooting?

I'm using Centos 5. Xapian is version 1.2.5. Ikiwiki version 3.20111107.
