I am trying to find my way to reindex the system using cli (in cms graphical interface on save and schedule corn jobs did not work). Diverse commands were tried:

- php /bin/magento indexer:reindex [indexer]
- php /bin/magento indexer:reindex

Unfortunately nothing worked and returned message "Could not open input file: /bin/magento".

Any advise?

Situation: - Mode in developer set yesterday successfully (Today cannot open), used command: php magento deploy:mode:set developer, confirmation "Enabled developer mode."

  • In /bin structure ran command ls -la shown that the Magento file is there (what I see in file structure as well).

You should not have an initial forward slash. Make sure you are in root of magento directory and run:

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

or 

bin/magento indexer:reindex

rather than:

php /bin/magento indexer:reindex

If this still does not work execute permissions are not present for bin/magento and you will get a different error 'Permission Denied'. To fix this running 'chmod u+x bin/magento' from root will fix the permissions. Now you should be able to run the 'bin/magento indexer:reindex' command.

  • 1. by command "php bin/magento indexer:reindex", reply "[Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception] SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory" and "[PDOException] SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory ". I think its because "bin" is a folder from root perspective and to enter it, its missing "/"; 2. by command "bin/magento indexer:reindex" I got the answer as you said "bash: bin/magento: Permission denied". To fix it I tried

  • to place command "chmod u+x bin/magento" direct after it in root as you told. Unfortunately, no reaction after it.. any alternative advises or how could I go around that permission issue? PS sorry @Harri had to split content due to max char limit

  • There wont be a reaction after changing permission it just changes it silently. Try the bin/magento indexer:reindex again now you have permission to execute bin/magento

  • Also if your permissions are wrong for bin/magento also will be worth looking over devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/install-gde/prereq/… to make sure all permissions are set corectly.

Remove cache manually from these directories except .htaccess file:

  1. pub/static (except .htaccess)
  2. var/cache
  3. var/di
  4. var/page_cache
  5. var/view_preprocessed (except .htaccess)

It will work by these only. Comment If didnt

  • Thank you for follow-up, @Jai. Sorry never did it before. You mean deleting all folders in the structures except ".htaccess"? Are you sure? :) in the 1st "pub/static" there are 3 sub-folders ("_requirejs", "adminhtml", "frontend"), in 2nd "var/cache" there are 8 sub-folders with "mage" begining and etc. :) all sub-folders to delete?

  • yes. delete all as mentioned. Only to skip .htaccess file.

  • good news, @Jai :) - the system survived after deleting all the structures. Static files, and other cache were flushed, re-entered to cli, but the indexing command still does not work..."bin/magento indexer:reindex" returns "bash: bin/magento: Permission denied", although I am the only user account on server (admin). Any ideas how to work around that permission (Im in development mode)? I placed in root structure "chmod u+x bin/magento", but the cli did not bring anything back...

  • Good. Now run these commands and let me know: "find ./ -type f | xargs chmod 644" ,"find ./ -type d | xargs chmod 755" ,"chmod -Rf 777 var" ,"chmod -Rf 777 media"

  • This will solve your problem: "chmod -R 777 /var/www/magento2" => magento2 is root directory . Let me know if it didnt work

Could you please check the file and folder permission as given in Magento 2 Docs

Files and Folder Permissions

cd <your Magento install dir>

find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} \;

find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} \;

chown -R :<web server group> .

chmod u+x bin/magento

  • have to admit that I dont know how to do it. I placed the lines one after the other, no reaction from server after entering one after the other: "find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} \;", then "find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} \;", then "chmod u+x bin/magento". Maybe I did it wrong? What do you mean by "<web server group>" is this a root structure?

  • "<web server group>" is user group created in the server. For example some of server have "vhosts" as user group.
