[Koha] Zebra Indexing problem with upgrade

Hi All,

 

I am another person with a problem when upgrading Koha that items disappear
from search.  I have read faithfully the news groups and have tried the
suggestions found there concerning zebra indexing and search using marc21
with no success.

 

I am upgrading from 3.08.01.002 to 3.10.06 on Debian Squeeze obsessively
following the instructions in the INSTALL.debian section for the upgrade. I
have detailed notes of what I have done and found but in a nutshell.

 

1)      Download and extract koha-3.10.06.tar.gz

2)      Check and install cpan dependencies

3)      Make the upgrade

a.       perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log
/usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log

b.      make

c.       make test

d.      sudo make upgrade

4)      verified the environment variables

5)      updated the database from the web admin client.

 

At this point I can go into either the OPAC or ADMIN client and successfully
search. BUT once I execute any  rebuild_zebra.pl command (all finish without
any errors)  upon searching the search results show the number of items
returned but each item shows "Availability: No copies available". I have
used many permutations of the  rebuild_zebra.pl command. The one that seems
to be recommended most is "
/usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -v -r -a -b -x ". If I
edit an existing marc record I can see that volume until I run the
rebuild_zebra.pl command again.

 

I have been returning to this problem on an off for the better part of a
year. I have gone to the extent of verifying any number of problems raised
in the koha lists (such as making sure that there are no duplicate Field 001
values in the db) and would appreciate any help.

 

Thanks
