Like Chris said, it is quite likely a permissions problem or the crontab not 
being set up.

Remember to only run a full reindex as the koha user! Otherwise you likely 
will get permissions problems.

I'm assuming you are using the crontab method and that your /etc/cron.d/koha 
is something like:
--------------------
KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
KOHAPATH=/usr/share/koha
PERL5LIB=$KOHAPATH/lib

# This runs every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * *    koha 
   $KOHAPATH/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -b -z &> /dev/null
--------------------
Your crontab job probably doesn't run immediately. Did you wait the 5-10 
minutes?

However, if you truly waited long enough, then here is a repost of my 
indexing journey.
It includes the things I checked, and how I corrected them.

I hope these steps I took to resolve our problem will point you in the right 
direction for yours.

If you don't have a memory issue, then there is no need to stop apache.
