Hi all,

Would it be possible to build in a timeout for OCR processes? I find with some PDF's the OCR just hangs on a page while other PDF's are fine. If a timeout was built in, this would prevent server being under load waiting for OCR to finish (which it doesn't).

Ubuntu 10.10, OpenKM 5.1.9

I think we have added it in trunk pavila can confirm it.

This is implemented in the 5.1 branch, try 5.1.10 night build to test it. The timeout is hardcoded to 5 minutes.

I think I fixed the problem by upgrading Cuneiform from 0.7.0 to 1.1.0 in Ubuntu via Aptitude. Good to know anyway. Thank you.

Depending on Cuneiform version and operating system, the program may fail. Cuneiform 1.0.0 and more recent version works fine, almosty in Ubuntu and Debian.

Did this end up being included in 5.1.10? Can I change that timeout time?

As said pavila "The timeout is hardcoded to 5 minutes." can not be changed now from administration configuration I will add in our features ticket system http://issues.openkm.com/view.php?id=2215

Having this in the admin configuration would be massively useful. As an example, for my system, a PID of the cuneiform process rarely runs for more than 10 seconds, so a timeout of 5 minutes is far too long (for my system). If I'm uploading many files, I need to sit there and watch htop and kill cuneiform processes that hang.

The temporary solution for you could be disabling ocr, and enabling before ... that will not index image files, but repository can be reindexed before.
