Index failing to start, and it's not letting me rebuild
https://forum.foxtrot-search.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=490&th=199#msg_490
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?

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.
