Marty --<br><br>I don't know what might be the problem with your patrons. You can probably get more info from your Error logs. Then connect with mysql on the command line and examine the borrowers table. Make sure that required fields are populated. <br>
<br>You have to rebuild the index for books regardless of whether you use zebra or not. See:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl<br>misc/migration_tools/rebuild_nozebra.pl<br></div><br>
Typical options are -b -a -z. This job is usually scheduled via crontab to automate rebuilding the index (assuming some new books are added regularly).<br><br>Zebra certainly can improve performance for a library of any size, and is recommended. Your performance may be affected as much by drive speed as CPU, and some system profiling is the only way to know for sure. You can try watching the output of "top" (assuming you are on a linux-derivative platform) while you do Koha operations to see how much CPU is consumed.<br>

I managed to get koha 3.0 on my screen. Yeah! However, I imported data from 2.2.9 to 3.0 with mysqldump and I can search for patrons but if I click on any of them, the system says the user doesn't exist. Searches for books do not return any results. The books are in the database. Did I miss doing something?<br>
<br>
And, would koha 3 be faster with zebra installed? It seems really slow, but that also could be because my test system is a not so knew pentium 3?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
