Bernardo,

Thank you!

I don't understand why it wasn't running, but I ran the three commands from the 
"Setup Zebra Server to Automatically Start on Boot Up" section again

# sudo ln -s /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon

# sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults

# sudo /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon start
and the search is working now.

It's lasted through one reboot, so I'll keep my fingers cross it stays this 
time.

Thanks for your help.

Lynda.

Linda,

is your zebra daemon running?

Apparently you have rebuild the index correclty, but if your zebra daemon is 
not running, your search will find nothing.

I have Koha 3.8.1 installed and mostly working on Ubuntu 12.04, and have 
created/imported a bunch of records to work with.  The problem I'm having is 
that all searches in the catalog come up with no results.  I can see the 
records I imported in the reservoir, so I know they're there, but Search the 
Catalog finds nothing.

There are several related FAQs at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/, 
but I've tried all of the suggestions without any luck.

Here's the command I'm currently using to rebuild the index:

sudo -u koha -H env KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml 
PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib 
/usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl<http://rebuild_zebra.pl> 
-b -r -v

The first time I run that, I get a bunch of "[No such file or directory]" error 
messages about /var/lock/koha/zebradb/biblios -- I've checked, and there really 
is no /var/lock/koha directory.  If I create those directories (and confirm 
that the koha user is the owner), I stop seeing error messages.  But I still 
can't search for records.  And I have to keep recreating this /var/lock/koha 
directory and subdirectories -- I think they're being deleted when I restart 
the computer.

I haven't found anywhere that describes what the expected output of 
rebuild_zebra.pl<http://rebuild_zebra.pl> is.  I've been assuming that no news 
is good news, but maybe it's not.  For example, I see it  count out dots for 
all of my records under "exporting biblio", but then it says
       REINDEXING zebra
       ==================
       ==================
       CLEANING
       ==================

Without another list of dots (although it pauses between the two lines of ===s 
for several seconds as if it's doing something).  Is that what it's supposed to 
do?

I installed Koha following the instructions at 
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Ubuntu.  They were written for Koha 
3.06 and Ubuntu 11.10, but everything seemed to work as written with only one 
exception.  In Step 1 under Install Koha, the second command "make" -- gave me
       /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" fix-perl-path.PL blib
       Permission denied at fix-perl-path.PL line 88.
       make: *** [blib] Error 13
I changed it to "sudo make", and it worked.  And again with the next command -- 
"make test" didn't work but "sudo make test" did.  I wouldn't expect that to 
cause problems like this.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Lynda Howell.
