Please remember to disable the purge POI option when you try to restart indexing the project next time. Don’t apply this option to other projects.

I did all of the above, have selected purge DB option when started indexing, but I still see ‘ERROR failed to sync poi to mmr Error: Missing node in db’. And I see this in the Network section. My query_container doesn’t want to start.

what could be the problem?

my Polkadot database was fully restored (“finished main parallel loop”), but I have found this thing in the middle of my ‘restore.log’. I don’t know if this could be the cause of the problem, maybe it’s just a log display bug. at least there are no error messages in the log.

(sorry for two messages in a row, forum settings don’t allow me to post two pictures in one post.)

May I confirm where you put the polkadot .mmr file, you should expect that it is located at ${mmrPath}/poi/QmZ..../.mmr.

${mmrPath} is the path you config mmrPath in coordinator container

Thank you for the answer. It looks like I didn’t copy .mmr before the restoring. Now everything is ok.

UPD: as a result, the indexer broke down and no longer starts. I deleted everything and started restoring from scratch
