opengrok-indexer failed

[cyberhorse208]

using following command to add new project as discribed in https://github.com/oracle/opengrok/wiki/Per-project-management-and-workflow:
#opengrok-projadm -b /home/opengrok -a newproject
#curl -s -X GET http://localhost:8080/source/api/v1/configuration -o fresh_config.xml
#opengrok-indexer -a /home/opengrok/dist/lib/opengrok.jar -- -c /usr/local/bin/ctags -U 'http://localhost:8080/source' -o /home/opengrok/etc/ctags.config -R fresh_config.xml -H newproject newproject

get error:
Jun 16, 2023 9:19:38 AM org.opengrok.indexer.configuration.Configuration read

ERROR: File '/home/opengrok/etc/ctags.config' not found for the -o option

how can i fix this?

env:
java 17,opengrok 1.12.11, apache tomcat 10.1.9, ctagc 6.0.0

Does the /home/opengrok/etc/ctags.config exist ? Do you actually need extra Ctags configuration ?

[cyberhorse208]

no, /home/opengrok/etc/ctags.config not exsit
i just followed the instruction here : https://github.com/oracle/opengrok/wiki/Per-project-management-and-workflow

i moved -o option, and it works, indexed new project successed.

i opened localhost:8080/source,but i got another error:
i can see my new project from "project(s) click here to select project(s)", choose and search through it, but can't see it from Project list.

old project: huawei_matex2
new project: honor_magic_7.0

If the file does not exist and you do not need extra ctags options, then the fix is to remove the -o, /home/opengrok/etc/ctags.config, from the opengrok-sync configuration.
