Reindexing not working through SSH

Question

I tried to reindex using SSH. Here is one of the commands I used -

php -f indexer.php --reindexall

and here is the result which i am getting -

Usage:  php -f indexer.php -- [options]

  --status <indexer>            Show Indexer(s) Status
  --mode <indexer>              Show Indexer(s) Index Mode
  --mode-realtime <indexer>     Set index mode type "Update on Save"
  --mode-manual <indexer>       Set index mode type "Manual Update"
  --reindex <indexer>           Reindex Data
  info                          Show allowed indexers
  reindexall                    Reindex Data by all indexers
  help  

Answer 1

The reindexall command is without the --.

So php -f indexer.php reindexall should work!

Answer 2

php -f shell/indexer.php reindexall

OR

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

Answer 3

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

Now run the following commands on by one:

php indexer.php help

php indexer.php --status

php indexer.php info

php indexer.php --reindexall
