jira indexing

Question

I have cancelled Jira background reindex and after that I'm getting below error .

the background indexing is greyed out and i tried lockjira and rebuild index. it is also failing

"JIRA is unable to perform a background re-index at this time because the index files are either missing or corrupted."

how do I fix this issue

You should have a look in the atlassian-jira.log file to see with what error the rebuild index fails.
