[Koha] Hello and question -- Resolved

[Kate Etheredge]

Hi all, 
Thank you to community members who helped point me in the right direction. And thanks to Jane Wagner and the team at PTFS for discovering the problem. We are using Koha Express so this list and the Koha docs are my support.  

The Zebra cronjob was running but I had a Latin-1 encoded character in one of the records which was failing all the records as it couldn't be parsed by Zebra. The offender has been deleted and the catalog is back up to speed.

Again, many thanks to everyone!

Hi Kate,

In addition to Ian's excellent suggestions you might also have a look at this FAQ:

>I assume you're running with Zebra as your indexer (most libraries do these days), so it sounds to me like your rebuild_zebra.pl cron job is not set up.  This is really easy to do if you have command-line access to your server.

>If you don't have command-line access to your server, or you don't feel comfortable doing this, I'm sure that LibLime/PTFS will take care of this for you.  They would of course be the ones to help further if it turns out I'm wrong about the root of your problem.
