<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>It seems like a lot of folks have had similar problems, and we have as
well, and maybe it would help to explain why these problems occur.
Rebuild_zebra.pl -r deletes all of the files in the Zebra db directories
(such as </span></font><span class=apple-style-span><font size=2
color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;
color:navy'>reci-0.mf) and then recreates them. Thus, permissions will be
lost, and the files will be owned by the user who ran <a
href="http://rebuild_zebra.pl">rebuild_zebra.pl</a>. If one rebuilds the
zebra indexes as root, the daemons, which typically run under the user koha,
will not be able to update the indexes. Thus, it's important then that
the zebra rebuilds are put in the cronjob file of the user koha, and not root.
Also important is that other users, such as root, don't manually execute
rebuilds.</span></font></span></p>

desires that another user be able to execute <a href="http://rebuild_zebra.pl">rebuild_zebra.pl</a>,
he should be given the permission to execute 'sudo -u Koha .../<a
href="http://rebuild_zebra.pl">rebuild_zebra.pl</a>,' (if you want to do this,
you also have to edit the sudoers file to pass the PERL5LIB variable with the
env_keep option as by default sudo strips away almost all environment
variables). Or, as root user, one can use a simple 'su koha' and then the
<a href="http://rebuild_zebra.pl">rebuild_zebra.pl</a> command.</span></font></span></p>

also tried to set the sticky bit on <a href="http://rebuild_zebra.pl">rebuild_zebra.pl</a>,
but for whatever reason it didn't seem to work due to some problem with the
PERL5LIB variable that I wasn't able to figure. That seems to me the
easiest thing to do, if anybody has any idea how to make it work. If it
worked and were the default, I think it would help folks to avoid a great deal
of the problems that come up with zebra.</span></font></span></p>
