Not able to search newly added file.

I am adding new file from:
setting ->Data Inputes -> New

But after uploading any new file, when I press Next, In Set Source type, there is an error reported "Can't preview the source file" and Data is also not getting indexed.
Because of this, I'm not able to perform any search.
However, I was able to add the file and perform a search before, but suddenly what setting is changed i dnt knw.
