Magento reindexing still on Running even after Apache restart

Question

When I check the status of my reindexing, the Product Prices are stuck on Running even after Apache has been restarted.

• Locks files have been deleted from /var/locks
• Only using CLI

Going nuts.

thanks!

Answer 1

Magento stores the status of indexes in index_process table. So when a index process fails for example through a timeout or restarting of apache this flag isn't removed. When indexing succeeds this flag is reset or you can set working to pending. Do you have any exceptions in your Magento logs?

Answer 2

Backup and delete all files under MAGENTO_ROOT/var/locks/
