[Geocoding] No result after installation

[Francesco d'Aloisio]

Hello,
I'm trying to setup a nominatim server like
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ but something is going wrong.

*SCOPE: *Have a nominatim server with all the planet indexed, a copy of
nominatim.openstreetmap.org
*SOFTWARE: *

   - RHEL 7 64bit
   - PostgreSQL 9.6
   - Postigis 2.4
   - PHP 5.4.16
   - gcc-c++-4.8.5-16
   libgcc-4.8.5-16
   cpp-4.8.5-16
   gcc-4.8.5-16
   libgcc-4.8.5-16


*HARDWARE:*

   - 32CPUs
   - 64GB RAM
   - 590GB storage



Trying to install the version 3.0.1 of Nominatim I'm having some
difficulties to index all the planet.
I've followed the steps in the documentation
http://nominatim.org/release-docs/3.0.1/Install-on-Centos-7.html and the
compiler doesn't report any error.

List of main attempt:

   1. *First Attempt:*
   I've imported the Central america region by using the setup command
   ./utils/setup.php --osm-file
   /data/nominatim/Nominatim-3.0.1/data/central-america-latest.osm.bz2 --all
   --osm2pgsql-cache 38000 2>&1 | tee setup.log
   The import was a success! Searching for central america region the
   result appear as expected.
   So I decided to import the Australia using the update command
   ./utils/update.php --import-file
   /data/nominatim/Nominatim-3.0.1/data/australia-oceania-latest.osm.bz2
   --osm2pgsql-cache 38000 &> australia.log
   Unfortunately after the import, searching for "Perth" or other
   Australian city, the result was empty.
   I've also tried the command /utils/update.php --index --index-instances
   30 but the result was the same
   2. *Second Attempt:*
   Removing the database I've imported the Antartica.
   After the import it works as expected, so I decided to import the
   Australia (again) but nothing.
   I've tried different times with different options but it was always a
   failure.
   3. *Third Attempt:*
   After many imports I decided to import directly all the planet (
   http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf)
   with the setup script like the first attempt.
   The import miserably fails :(


I'm struggling to have a nominatim server up and running but I've no clue
how to solve this issue.

I'm doing the importing in some step wrong? I've to do other command or
step after the import?


Thanks in advance.

Francesco.
