[ic] Category Building Error

[Thomas J.M. Burton]

Hello everyone,

I've encountered a problem with auto-populate not building a complete category list.
>From searching the mail list, it seems that I'm not the only one who has experienced
this problem. However, I could not find any post that had a solution.

I'm using the pages/admin/layout_auto.html that was posted by Mike (found it here:
http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2001-October/013912.html )

It worked fine until last night, when it started only building a partial category
list.

I have over 100 items with a prod_group of Earrings, and there are several categories
within that group of products. When an auto-populate is run, it only builds three of
the categories that should be under Earrings.

The catalog's error log shows an "Error saving matches" line, followed by several
lines relating to the categories that do show up. (see end of this message for actual
output).

I have see posts on the maillist that say it could be due to permissions or low disk
space, and I have looked into both of these. There is plenty of space on the server's
HD and the permissions on the db files haven't changed. Like I said, this was working
fine and then stopped.

What else could be causing this problem? Is there an updated copy of layout_auto.html
available?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
