Having experienced a few glitches ourselves, here are some extracts from our "cheat sheet" (nelson is the name of our Debian/Ubuntu server with Koha 3.6.1 installed and happily working): *** do mysql dump FIRST *** *** do not go near link_bibs_to_authorities.pl *** paul@nelson:/$ cd /usr/share/koha Now su to the proper user: paul@nelson:/usr/share/koha$ su koha Now for the authorities (note include envars on command line) koha@nelson:/usr/share/koha$ KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -r -v Lastly, biblios (note -x without which the rebuild fails) koha@nelson:/usr/share/koha$ KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v -x Best - Paul At 12:17 PM 1/21/2012 -0500, Chris Nighswonger wrote:
Hi Bruce,
The correct paths for your installation would have been given in the notes produced at the end of running Makefile.PL (not sure where this would show up if you used the deb packages). These paths will *have* to be correct in order for Koha related cli scripts to run properly. Perhaps someone more familiar with the deb packages could help if that is, indeed, what you used.
If the paths you selected are correct, then I'm out of ideas for the moment.
Kind Regards, Chris

Pay careful attention to the solution for question #4. It appears you've not exported the proper env vars.
It sounds like you're recommending:
1. Check that you are exporting the two environmental variables necessary to run Koha scripts from the command line. These are (modify to fit paths on your system): PERL5LIB=/path/to/koha KOHA_CONF=/path/to/koha-conf.xml
Which sounds not unreasonable. I set:
KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
Which seems reasonable. I then set:
PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib
I chose this because the failure message for <http://rebuild_zebra.pl>rebuild_zebra.pl claims it can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC, which includes /etc/perl, and where that file can be found.
It would appear that these choices were incorrect, or that I've made some other important error, as these two changes make no change in the failure message when I run <http://rebuild_zebra.pl>rebuild_zebra.pl.
I *did* warn y'all I was a newbie....
