[Koha] Search not working

[Emrys Minnig]

Hi Andrew,
 
To check if zebrasrv is running, type
ps -ef | grep zebra 
at the command prompt (assuming you are using a bash shell) and see if it is listed.
 
To build your index, type
/[PATH]/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -v -b -a
substituting [PATH] with the path to your Koha directory.
 
'See INSTALL' refers to the INSTALL file in the Koha directory.  It outlines the basic steps you need to take to get Zebra/Koha up and running.
 
If you need further help, don't hesitate to contact me.  I am the librarian at Varndean School here in Brighton, where I have successfully set up Koha.
 
Emrys

I'm getting the same problem.  Could someone please elaborate on answer 1. 

- How do I check that zebrasrv is running?
- How do I check that the index has been built?
- What does "see INSTALL" mean?

Sorry, this is probably very basic stuff.
