[Geocoding] empty search_name tables

[Carlos Alberto Castaño Moraga]

Hi all,

I am newbie to openstreetmap, but we would like to run our own server,
including geocoding with nominatim and WMS with mapnik. I am not sure if
there are other options, but as far as I have seen it is a common
configuration.

I have started with Nominatim, following the installation steps described
at the openstreetmap wiki. After several headaches compiling everything on
a Solaris x86 64 bits everything looks fine, but the fact is that I get no
results when I look for anything using my web installation. Everything is
displayed ok, but I get no results.

I use postgres 9.4, postgis 9.1, Nominatim 2.3.1 from git on a Solaris x86
server that runs an apache2 with php5. I have donwloaded the luxembourg pbf
file from geofabrik website, without any preprocessing. For the
installation, I use the following command:

./utils/setup.php --osm-file louxembourg.osm.pbf --all

and it finishes ok.

I have been reading some posts through google and I think that something is
not working when the indices are created. I get the following output:

(...)

Starting rank 27
  Done 0 in 0 @ 0.000000 per second - FINISHED

Starting rank 28
  Done 0 in 0 @ 0.000000 per second - FINISHED

Starting rank 29
  Done 0 in 0 @ 0.000000 per second - FINISHED

Starting rank 30
  Done 0 in 0 @ 0.000000 per second - FINISHED

I have checked the postgres logs and so on, but I don't see any error or
any clue. The only hint I have is that search_names tables and
location_area, location_road and so on are empty, but I don't know why.

Could you please help us to discover what I am missing?

Thank you very much!
