Just for info, after having trouble with this myself on several
occasions, here is the list of files which need to be writable by
the koha user (supposing single folder install):<br>
<br>
$KOHA_HOME/var/lib/zebradb<br>
$KOHA_HOME/var/lock/zebradb<br>
$KOHA_HOME/var/log<br>
$KOHA_HOME/var/run/zebradb<br>
$KOHA_HOME/etc/zebradb (read only required)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="">I am having some trouble
getting searches to work using zebra, and am suspicious
that I may have caused my problems as I was going
through the setup. I have set up a test server on
Debian Lenny, using git to download koha. I am planning
on doing some work that I hope to contribute back so
chose a dev install when I was setting up. The files
are in /home/doug/kohaclone and /home/doug/koha-dev . I
was logged in as root when I ran the install routine,
then changed ownership on all the files to the koha user
later. After that, I restored one of my databases from
my production server, copied the default koha-conf.xml
and edited it to point to the correct database (named
‘image’). I did the same with the koha-httpd.conf file,
copying it and editing it where needed. While logged in
as “koha”, I would get an error when I tried to run <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://rebuild_zebra.pl"
target="_blank">rebuild_zebra.pl</a> . I logged in as
root and ran it that way and it didn’t throw the error,
but searches aren’t finding anything. I then figured
out that the new config files I created had root as the
owner. I changed those to have koha as the owner. The
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://rebuild_zebra.pl"
target="_blank">rebuild_zebra.pl</a> script would then
run without throwing the error. I then read a post that
indicated being logged in as root when running <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://rebuild_zebra.pl"
target="_blank">rebuild_zebra.pl</a> would mess things
up, as certain log files and lock files would get
created with root as the owner and koha would not be
able to access them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Any idea where I would find
these files? I have several files in
/home/doug/koha-dev/var/lock/zebradb/biblios but they
are all owned by koha, not root. There is no koha
directory in /var/log .<o:p></o:p></p>
