My suggestion is: # get the instance name $ sudo koha-list # fix permissions $ sudo chown -R <instance>-koha:<instance>-koha /var/lib/koha/<instance> # perform a full rebuild, the package's way $ sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -a -b -v <instance> # make sure the indexer is enabled (should read USE_INDEXER_DAEMON="yes") $ sudo vim /etc/default/koha-common # start the indexer $ sudo koha-indexer --restart <instance> The init service 'koha-common' already handles the koha-indexer, so you can just $ sudo service koha-common restart One thing you can do is running this on a terminal: $ watch -n 0.5 'echo "SELECT * FROM zebraqueue WHERE done=0;| sudo koha-mysql <instance>"' You will see the 'pending' updates. If it is empty, you can just edit something and see things added, and then disappear. If they don't seem to be updated (the indexes) then you should look at /var/log/koha/<instance>/indexer*.log BTW: I strongly suggest you upgrade (at least) to the 20.05 release (19.11 is still maintained but not sure how long). Good luck! El vie, 5 mar 2021 a las 10:58, Scott Owen (<sowen@almaschools.net>) escribió:

Did you install Koha using the Debian repository at debian.koha-community.org and then installing 'koha-common'?

" and maybe that's why the incremental indexer is failing, as it is running as the instance's user." -- certainly sounds possible.
-- Any way to test / verify koha-indexer ?? (login as different users via putty and run the command ?? What output should I expect to see ...if any... )
thank you!

What Koha version are you using and what install method?
When you use Debian packages, you are provided with a script (koha-indexer) that can be used to start/stop the incremental indexing of any changes on the DB, without the need of a full reindex. Also, the fact you are used to manually run rebuild_zebra.pl (instead of, again, the management scripts the packages provide like koha-rebuild-zebra) with the --run-as-root flag, makes me suspect running with --run-as-root is generating a permissions issue on the Zebra index files, and maybe that's why the incremental indexer is failing, as it is running as the instance's user.
Hope it clarifies Keep us posted

..until I do a DB repair/rebuild. Items are added, lookups done at LOC etc...everything seems OK... but...the items never "show up" in Koha...ie: users search for the items, but get no results until I run a rebuild/repair
I'm unsure of where to even start looking?
