How to update OpenGrok indices

The OpenGrok wrapper script has an update option, but when I run it without any options (as echoed in the usage), I get

Loading the default instance configuration ...

FATAL ERROR: OpenGrok Source Path /var/opengrok/src doesn't exist - Aborting!

I have also tried specifying the SRC_ROOT, but continue to get the same error.

E.g. if opengrok data directory is /tank/opengrok and source root is in /tank/source then to get more verbosity run the indexer as:

$ OPENGROK_VERBOSE=true OPENGROK_INSTANCE_BASE=/tank/opengrok \ ./OpenGrok index /tank/source

SRC_ROOT is a variable in the OpenGrok wrapper (normally in /usr/opengrok/bin/OpenGrok), this variable is to say OpenGrok where you have your src code to be indexed. So you need to edit it:

SRC_ROOT="your/src/path"

Also, after that maybe you'll se an error for the Data location... and you have to set also the variable DATA_ROOT (index location)

DATA_ROOT="you/data"

This might not be the right answer, but I have been able to update by re-running the index job itself. It doesn't take as long as the initial indexing.
