Looks like the issue was ownership, not permissions. As a test I deleted the log files and restarted the server. The files in the directory remained with the koha user and group, but the permissions got set back down. -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 8192 2009-11-18 15:40 reci-0.mf John +----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----+ John Chadwick, Ed.D.

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? OK, baseline question: does /var/lib/bbmkoha/zebradb/biblios/register/reci-0.mf exist? What are the owner:group and permissions? --joe ________________________________ This inbound email has been scanned for malicious software and transmitted safely to you using Webroot Email Security. ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, including all attachments is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
