  • In the next line of SSH terminal the only message written is "Killed".

This answer on stackoverflow might help.
Basically it means that the PHP process doing the indexing exceeds the memory limit you have on the server and it's killed by linux to prevent crashing the server

50K products is a lot and I'm not surprised it's causing issue when running the indexer under only 1024M of memory. The only solution will be to upscale your server or use an Amazone cloud instance for example to do the heavy lifting

  • Hi Sarvagy, I hope you only did that for this one specific script and not for the default execution time?

  • A default execution time of 300 minutes can potentially be an issue for your server. When a page loads extremely slow you want to timeout to kick in and prevent the server from having long processes it can't handle. I would suggest using the shell script for reindexing through the commandline and setting the timeout back
