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.

Regards,

Galen
