Index failing to start, and it's not letting me rebuild
type: item
description: When I try to click on the index to search I get the following message. The “Main Index” index previously failed to start. Do you want to rebuild it? ["Main Index" is what I named the index.] If I press "start" at this point I get the following message: *An error occurred when starting the index “Main Index”. *File permissions error. If I instead press "rebuild" rather than "start," I get the same message, i.e.: *An error occurred when starting the index “Main Index”. *File permissions error. I'm running Foxtrot Professional Version 5.7 build 1436 on a Mac (macOS Sierra v. 10.12.3). Any suggestions? Luke Thompson Red Hook, New York -- ---

Did you check in the Finder that you have read and write permissions on your index file? It is located, by default, in {home folder}/Library/FoxTrot. Press the option key when using the Finder's "Go" menu in order to see this Library folder.
