[Mesfin Teshome]

Thank you, Zeno! Especially on clearing the file of its contents. I think I will implement log rotate now.

you can clear this file, it is a text file with the erros of the system.
It is a good idea to read the last 200-500 lines to understand if you 
have problems to solve, after to be completly sure:

- stop any indexing
- stop zebra
- stop apache
- stop mysql

Delete it with /dev/null:

probaly the file koha-opac-error_log is not of standard 'koha' user, 
more probaly www-data or root, so operate with 'sudo'

After:
- restart mysql
- restar apache
- restart zebra
- restart indexing

Bye
