Zebra indexing question
by Chadwick, John, DCA 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

I am noticing some errors in the koha-zebradaemon-output.log file. When new records are added it takes a bit longer to index than we think they should. Running rebuild zebra is often faster. The log file shows the following: 14:31:44-18/11 zebrasrv(55) [warn] Failed to open /var/lib/bbmkoha/zebradb/biblios/register/reci-0.mf [Permission denied] 14:31:44-18/11 zebrasrv(55) [fatal] mf_write: reci error (1) 14:31:44-18/11 zebrasrv(55) [fatal] write commit block 14:31:44-18/11 zebrasrv(55) [warn] zebra_commit: failed Zebra ends up indexing and search works, but I am concerned about the errors. Any ideas? Thanks, John +----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----+ John Chadwick, Ed.D.

Hello / marc import problem
by Joel Cornuz 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hi there, I am helping a school setting up Koha for their 6000 books library. We are nearing the stage of production with installation, labels, importation, daily management etc under control, thanks to Koha. So KUDOS :) The last thing we need is to import records from Bookwhere (a Z ). I can stage a batch of records, the records appear in the managing batch as expected but no matter what, clicking on "import into catalogue" will give me a 0 number of records added, updated, ignored and the same for items. Obviously, I don't find my records in the catalogue. I don't get any error message in koha_error-log, so I wonder if I am missing something obvious? btw, my koha version is 3.00.04. Thanks for any help. Take care, Joel

It is not related with browser. We have the same problem but didn't have time to cope with it properly, so we just rebuld zebra index from time to time with -r option. (rebuld_zebra.pl -b -r). This is not very satisfactory solution because our database is arround 300.000 recods so it takes some time and during that time the catalog search is not available. We do this during the night. During the day we run 'rebuld_zebra.pl -b -z' every 4 minutes insted of running zebraque deamon, as recommended. Does anybody have the same problem and the proper solution?

Label question
by Chris Morrison 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

I'm trying to print barcode labels and have a funny little problem: I can't get Koha to generate any bibliographic information on my label--just barcodes with the number. I even set the layout type to "biblio only" and just got a blank page! Thoughts? Thanks, Chris Morrison
