Reindexar Magento de forma manual desde el shell

Magento, desde el panel de control, en ocasiones da problemas a la hora de indexar las bases de datos grandes.

Con Putty en el shell de linux podemos hacerlo de forma manual, para ello simplemente deberemos teclear:

php /home/admin/public_html/.magento/shell/indexer.php reindexall

Paso a paso nos dará los mensajes de la confirmación de la reindexación
