Q: how to reset/restart Spotlight indexing??

I just updated to 10.6.6 and now my Spotlight search turns up nothing. How do I reset it? I tried

% sudo mdutil -i on /

and got

Spotlight server is disabled.

I also can't do the thing where you add and then remove a volume to the Spotlight privacy preference pane - it says

Privacy list error
The item couldn't be added or removed because of an unknown error

What do I do??

thanks,

Mike
