Greetings,
Since I have done a rebuild of the zebra index with /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -r the biblios and items aren't displayed anymore with the search results.
Did you install with packages or a tarball?
I installed with a tarball. I would like to use the packages. Is there a simple way to change from tarball installation to packages installation?
If tarball, you should run: $ sudo -i # su - {user that does the indexing} (the tarball instructions usually suggestion koha as the user, so it is likely koha, but I make no promises) $ /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r (I do the sudo -i and su -, because you more likely know your password than you remember the user's that does the indexing)
koha is an user on my server. So I log in as koha and run the scripts as user koha.
If there are still genuine indexing problems afterwards, I would use the script on http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6566
Place the script in /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/checkNonIndexedBiblios.pl and assuming the user you (or the packages) created for indexing is called library-koha (change it to the user you use for indexing if you use tarball):
$ sudo -i # su - library-koha $ echo $KOHA_CONF [this should be set to the proper value] $ echo $PERL5LIB [this should be set to the proper value] $ /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/checkNonIndexedBiblios.pl -c -z
In our migration from tarball to packages, we had indexing problems. A full reindex said there was a malformed tag, but I couldn't find it. I started this at night and went to bed: $ while true; do /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/checkNonIndexedBiblios.pl -c -z; sleep 360; done In the morning everything was properly indexed (0 records added), so I just had to kill the process with a CTRL-C.
It works knowing that the zebra indexing is triggered automatically every 5 minutes in packages. So, by sleeping 6 minutes, that let's at least some indexing happen before retrying. This, of course, will bloat the zebra queue table, but the packages have a script to automatically clean that up already installed. I tried the sliced reindexing and it just messed up our indexes again. So, this is the method I'm sticking with. Your mileage may vary.
I will try your suggestion if there isn't an other solution :-) Thank you Beda
