I followed the instructions at: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Moving_an_installation_from_a_regular_in... and imported a backup of the database into a new instance. I can now run the programs to update the database schema and rebuild the Zebra index, but only using sudo, which I take it mangles the permissions for Zebra.
Exactly how are you doing this? Are you using the proper commands, referenced here? http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages If you messed up permissions, you need to follow the instructions here: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2013-July/036861.html
Also, now I can't log into the administrative intranet. I copied the username and password from my old koha-conf.xml to the new one, and that had
Don't do that, it won't work. You've now got Koha thinking the password is one thing, and the database thinking the password is another thing. You need to put it back how it was, and use that new username (koha_instancename) and password to log in. Keeping in mind that this login is purely to get initial setup done, after that use the real accounts in the database.
1. It's unclear to me what user account I'm supposed to be using to rebuild the Zebra index. I have an Ubuntu user called 'koha' that was inherited from 10.04, and when I created a new instance, another user 'bcmckoha14' was
Really? That's not the sort of username that the packages create. They would be 'instancename-koha'. Where did bcmckoha14 come from? The what user question is addressed by using the correct koha-* commands, with sudo, and let them work out the user stuff for you.
2. Where are Koha admin authentication failures logged? I assume that every time I fail to log in to localhost:8080 that should be logged somewhere. Knowing where might set me on the trail of why this is now failing.
I'm not sure exactly how it logs it, but all logs should end up in /var/log/koha/instancename.
3. I have tried reinstalling Zebra, and it grabs a password I had created for the kohaadmin account from somewhere and inserts it into its own otherwise fresh config files. What are the Zebra username and password supposed to authenticate against? A user account on the system? A MySQL user? Where and when is this created, and how can I fix it now that it's goofed up?
koha-create makes all the passwords up when you create the instance. The zebra username and password is how Koha authenticates against zebra. Reinstalling zebra won't change any files under /etc/koha, they are totally managed by koha. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
