Hi Mary From my experience wrong permissions will often lead to an unindexed catalog. Given your instance is "xxx", the automatically created Koha user is named "xxx-koha" and the group is "xxx-koha" all the file in directory "/var/lib/koha/xxx" and its subdirectories have to belong to this user "xxx-koha". If this was not the case then change it and reindex. Hope this helps. Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

(Mary, could you send this on to the Koha email list?)
We recently upgraded our old Koha install to a new install. We went from a tarball install to a debian package install at the same time.
I am not entirely sure what version they had previously, but it was 3.something, and now it is Koha 17.0500000. I made a new site, upgraded the old schema, and successfully followed the instructions from here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Moving_an_installation_ from_a_regular_install_to_the_Debian_packages
The website (http://opac.scott.ac.ke/) comes up fine. I can do a search for a book, and I can find it. But, when I click on a link, it gives me a 404.
So far as I can tell, my current issue is that we are not getting any of the old records to reindex:

==================== REINDEXING zebra ====================
==================== CLEANING ====================
Opening up the rebuild_zebra.pl program and tracing it down, it seems that the biblio_metadata table, where it is trying to track down the biblio data from, is empty. I am assuming that it used to be stored elsewhere in a previous version? I do see a deletedbiblio_metadata table, and I have tracked some of that data down; I have a lot of biblio data in the "import_biblios" table.
Anyway, It seems that my biblio_metadata table needs to be rebuilt / repopulated after an upgrade. Any pointers on where to start?
