Magento reindex url_rewrite is not working anymore

Question

I’m stuck with the following issue in a live Magento store.

After i've created new categories for one of my 2 stores (multistore setup), i’m not able to reindex the URL rewrites. I’ve already emptied the core_url_rewrite table in the database, cleared the var/locks folder and tried to reindex, but it did’nt make any difference.

When i take a look at the exeption.log, it gives the following exception.

2013-12-10T11:06:50+00:00 DEBUG (7): Exception message: SQLSTATE[40001]: Serialization failure: 1213 Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction

I hope someone can point me to the right solution, i’m quite desperate as it comes to this issue.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I solved this issue by installing an extension that fastened the index process Extension I have 17k products in my shop and i suspect that was the problem.

Thanks for helping me!

Answer 2

Try truncating all tables starting with log

TRUNCATE `log_customer`;
TRUNCATE `log_quote`;
TRUNCATE `log_summary`;
TRUNCATE `log_summary_type`;
TRUNCATE `log_url`;
TRUNCATE `log_url_info`;
TRUNCATE `log_visitor`;
TRUNCATE `log_visitor_info`;

Also clear all cache, locks, session from the folders and try running site again.

Also you can check this for a method _replace
