Log file for EPiServer Indexing ServiceStart servicer in DEBUG mode
Stop the service EPiServer Indexing Service from the services tab in the control panel, and then start the service in DEBUG mode in a command prompt (it will write out the same information that it will store in the log file for the DEBUG level)
"EPiServer.IndexingService.exe DEBUG"
The service hangs
If you getting the following message in the log file with DEBUG level enabled it means that the Indexing service is already running, and if no other messages are generated – try to restart the service.
... EPiServer.IndexingService.MainService.KeepMainThreadAlive
If this doesn’t work:
Remove the file just before this error message appears. And restart the EPiServer indexing server.
The service hangs on PDF files
