Thanks for your reply. I checked and zebrasrv was not running. It turned out that I need to install daemon before I could run the start command. I did and was able to start zebrasrv. I am still getting no results when I search the OPAC. I ran rebuild_zebra.pl again and still no results when I search. Do I need to run bulkimport.pl again? //SIGNED// PERRY OTIS Systems Librarian Muir S.

I just installed Koha 3 on a Ubuntu system. It's up and running and now I need to import some MARC records. I have a lot, so I am trying to use bulkimport.pl to do the job. I ran it on a file with about 89000 records and it seemed to run ok. Then I ran rebuild_zebra.pl with the command 'perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -v -b -w'. It gave me an error message about being unable to unlock some files, so I ran it again using sudo. This time it seemed to go without a problem, but when I go to search the OPAC I only get 'no records found' messages. I checked the log viewer and it shows 89000 records added, but they don't seem to be searchable. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
A couple things to check: [1] Is zebrasrv running? ps -ef | grep zebrasrv will show whether it is. [2] I recommend that you change the ownership of Zebra's data files (which will likely be found in /var/lib/koha/zebradb on your system) to the koha user. If you do that, you can run rebuild_zebra.pl without using sudo. Note that if you change the ownership, you don't need to rebuild the indexes - just stop and restart zebrasrv.
