thank you for your replies. I was indeed prompted to run the web installer again after i had completed the dump and restore, this seemed to run fine. i have been through the FAQ and everything seems to look ok. i have PERL5LIB and KOHA_CONF set in the /etc/profile file, i am running rebuild_zebra as the koha user, everything seems to be owned by koha. the only thing that i can see from here that might be amiss is that i might have inadvertently started the zebraqueue daemon, when i type ps aux, i get a couple of lines that say: koha 2577 0.0 0.0 2244 540 ? Ss 09:41 0:00 daemon --name=koha-zebra-ctl.mzunikoha --errlog=/var/log/koha/koha-zebradaemon.err --stdout= koha 2582 0.0 2.4 32016 24876 ? S 09:41 0:01 perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/zebraqueue_daemon.pl -f /etc/koha/koha-conf. could they be anything to do with it or am i way off? When i ran rebuild_zebra with switches -b -a -z, it took approximately 1 second to return to the prompt. i tried running it with switches -b -a -r, and it took much longer - about 10 minutes and returned a few messages that said something about not being able to find headings, and now when i try and run rebuild_zebra with either -z or -r i get an error that says DBD driver has not implemented the AutoCommit attribute at /usr/lib/perl5/DBI.pm line 690. and immediately returns to the prompt. tia, catherine On 4 May 2010 23:05, Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz> wrote:

After doing the dump and restore you should have been prompted to run the web installer again. Assuming this ran ok then those FAQs are a good start. Sing out if it doesnt help.

Hi there

I have recently joined a library that is attempting to get Koha operational.

Due to a number of factors, we decided to do a fresh installation of Debian and Koha to try a fix a few problems and gain some understanding of how the system works.

We installed Debian Lenny and Koha 3.00.05, the installtion seemed to go fine.

Before running ./rebuild_zebra -b -a -z we did a dump of the data from the previous installation (koha-3.00.04) and loaded it into the freshly created koha-3.00.05 database. I then ran rebuild_zebra and tried searching the opac only to be faced with "No Result found!" I get the same message when I try a catalogue search through the staff interface.

Can anyone tell me something I may have missed? Or where I should be looking to find out what has gone wrong?

Go through these FAQs regarding searching first:

http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/searching/

The let us know if there is still a problem.

Kind Regards, Chris

i am now positive that it was the zebra daemon that was causing the
problems, and then managed to break a couple of other things trying to fix
it >.<

i decided to reinstall koha, this time ensuring i didn't start any zebra
daemons or other such things and it searches perfectly

much thanks,
catherine
