processor keeps crashing

[Lapocalyptic]

Hi again guys,

I keep getting the following error when trying to create a dataset:

Processor crashed ((2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' ([Errno 111] Connection refused)")), trying again later

Is it failing on my end due to connection problems, or what do you think?
Thanks, btw for maintaining and making this tool available. I'ts great!

All the best,

Hey there, what data source are you using? For local ones (e.g. 4chan), you need to create a database and search indexes first. See here: https://github.com/digitalmethodsinitiative/4cat/wiki/Installing-and-running-Sphinx-for-local-data-sources

Hi! @sal-uva Yes, Im collecting from 4chan /pol/. I'm accessing through your Amsterdam server, so it hasn't been a problem before. After I posted it started working again for some time, but now I can see that 4chan search in general is out of function. Any estimate on how long it will be down? I've made several query requests lately, so pleace let me know if I'm somehow part of the problem. I'm doing fairly narrow queries, though (between 10k - 100k posts).

Thanks again!
