I have logged into my Magento instllation via ssh/putty, I then ran cd public_html to get to my root folder and am then running the following commands:

php indexer.php --reindex catalog_product_attribute

But nothing happens, I just get an error saying "could not find indexer.php".

I have looked inside the public_html folder in cPanel and there is no file named indexer.php, only index.php and index.php.sample.

Can anyone help?

You are running this command from ROOT and indexer.php is located under shell directory. So try this commands instead:

php shell/indexer.php --reindex catalog_product_attribute

For re-indexing all indexes :

php -f shell/indexer.php reindexall

Listing all commands :

php shell/indexer.php --reindex catalog_product_attribute
php shell/indexer.php --reindex catalog_product_price
php shell/indexer.php --reindex catalog_url
php shell/indexer.php --reindex catalog_product_flat
php shell/indexer.php --reindex catalog_category_flat
php shell/indexer.php --reindex catalog_category_product
php shell/indexer.php --reindex catalogsearch_fulltext
php shell/indexer.php --reindex cataloginventory_stock
php shell/indexer.php --reindex tag_summary

Magento 1 includes an indexing script indexer.php, which is found in the MAGENTO_ROOT/shell folder. This shell script could be used to reindex Magento using SSH.

Connect your Magento store with SSH and use cd command to go to MAGENTO_ROOT/shell

php indexer.php help

php indexer.php --status

php indexer.php info

php indexer.php --reindexall

First of all , you have to login using ssh/putty. Check the path using "pwd" , then go to your root folder of magento. Then "cd shell" , Once you entered in shell. check there is a file with indexer.php. run that command using ssh 

php indexer.php --reindex catalog_product_attribute
php indexer.php --reindex catalog_product_price
php indexer.php --reindex catalog_url
php indexer.php --reindex catalog_product_flat
php indexer.php --reindex catalog_category_flat
php indexer.php --reindex catalog_category_product
php indexer.php --reindex catalogsearch_fulltext
php indexer.php --reindex cataloginventory_stock

Plese don't run all the command, please check in magento admin on index management than run which are showing for reindexing.
