[Koha] OPAC search results -No

Sun Feb 15 10:37:42 NZDT 2009

Dear List-Colleagues:

There was no follow up reply to the post "OPAC search results -No" (from 
December '08) so I am posting our results from dealing with this  issue:

Note: Sunita was running Fedora and we are running Redhat which is similar.

* no filters load/no records written in rebuild_zebra

* OS:Redhat or Fedora (possibly CentOS) --  

* zebraidx (5810) [warn] No such record type: grs.marcxml.record

* ERR109 in zebrasrv

Possibly specific to: Redhat, Fedora and possibly CentOS

Symptoms:

ERR109 when querying running copy of zebrasrv

Text Box: The structure attribute specifies the type of search term. 
This causes the search to be mapped on different Zebra internal indexes, 
which must have been defined at index time. Source: Zebra -- Users Guide 
and Reference at: 
http://www.indexdata.dk/zebra/doc/querymodel-rpn.tkl#querymodel-bib1-structure

109 is a structure attribute for numeric string in Zebra (...it tells 
Zebra what format to use when indexing Koha data)

While there are a number of causes for this error (including a bad ZOOM 
compile) we are assuming a good install of all perl modules and components.

 If you are running Fedora or Redhat (...and likely CentOS) and if your

"rebuild_Zebra.pl" script will run and you /have /run it and its output 
looks similar too:

CLEANING

...you have a specific problem not related to bad installation.

The clues are twofold: 

1)      ...note that there are no filter module's loaded, they should 
look like:

 /14:222:51-14/02 zebraidx (4531) [log] Loaded filter module 
/usr/local/lib/idzebra02.0/modules/mod-grs-xml.so/

 2)      these two lines in your rebuild_zebra output:

 /16:57:45-15/12 zebraidx(11219) [log] dir /tmp/krk6rYaZGR/biblio/

/16:57:45-15/12 zebraidx(11219) [warn] No such record type:/

/grs.marcxml.record/

NO filter modules are loading and -- of course -- as a result, 
zebra_build can not read grs.marcxml.record processed data. 

 Result: no index and no ability to search OPAC etc.

Filters should appear right under:

REINDEXING zebra

===============

....they should look like...

/14:222:51-14/02 zebraidx (4531) [log] Loaded filter module 
/usr/local/lib/idzebra02.0/modules/mod-grs-xml.so/

...and so forth for another six filters....

Solution:

 Go to your zebra-biblios.cfg file (probably at: //etc/koha/zebradb//

 Look in this file for the lines:

 /# modulePath -- where to look for loadable zebra modules/

/Modules/

/modulePath: /usr/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules/

/ /
...the default path is incorrect in RHEL5/Fedora etc. (at least in some 
installs)

 ...it should read: /usr/local/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules (or whatever is 
right on your system)

 /Newbie tip: verify this, for yourself, by typing "locate mod-alvis.so" 
at a prompt/

/Example: #locate mod-alvis.so/

/...the result will show the directory path to mod-alvis which is one of 
the filters you are not loading into rebuild_zebra.pl/

 Fix the path in .cfg file, run rebuild_zebra.pl and then restart 
zebrasrv and your OPAC should run!

I really hope this helps some one we had a lot of problems pinning the 
issue down.

Best,

Petrus
