Hi Bob Birchall
For now, my 'message_queue is empty and as for cron jobs , in the /etc/cron.daily/koha-common I have the following entries
	koha-foreach --enabled --email /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl -t
            koha-foreach --enabled --email /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/advance_notices.pl -c
 
 and in the /etc/cron.d/koha-common, I have 

*/3 * * * * root cd /tmp && koha-foreach --enabled --email /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl


I am not sure if I should have additional cron jobs

Regards,

Admire Mutsikiwa

Have you started the email cron jobs? If you have database access, are there entries in the table 'message_queue'?

I'm running Koha version 17.05.01 on Debian 8.8. 

I'm setting up a new library. I have checked out eight books.  In the renewable column they are all listed as "Not renewable (0 of 0 renewals remaining)". 

Several people have suggested removing all the circulation and fine rules and creating a single rule the holds for all patron types and all item types. For example here:

  
http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/All-items-quot-not-renewable-quot-td5925467.html#none

I've tried that several times but none of the tries ever made any difference. Right now I only have one rule:
Patron category - All
Item type - All
Current checkouts allowed - 20
Renewals allowed - 3
Renewal period - 14
Automatic renewal - no

Since somebody in the above mentioned thread said that this might be a bug, I opened a bug report but they referred me back to this list because it's supposedly just a configuration problem. 

I have set the option that enables the "Override renewal limit" checkbox so I can trick the system into renewing books, but that's just a workaround and I'd like to get to the root of the problem.

I've been going around in circles here for well over a week. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I'm running Koha version 17.05.01 on Debian 8.8. 

I set up Koha a few months ago and we're still learning the system. One thing we've noticed that presumably is not normal is that every few days the searching capability dies for some reason or other. My guess is that it has something to do with Zebra.

I occasionally get a message from my logrotate cronjob:

   Zebra already stopped for instance xxx.

When I check, there are no koha or zebra processes running. I can restore the search capability by restarting Koha with "invoke-rc.d  koha-common restart".

Presumably some daemon or other dies but I haven't been able to figure out which one. Maybe it happens during the regular cronjobs?

Does anybody have any idea how I can figure out what's happening? 

One workaround I'm considering is setting up a regular cronjob to restart koha-common regularly, but that doesn't strike me as being a very elegant solution.

Hi Matthew

I tried to reproduce the issue (on current master), however no luck.

Is it possible to check the MySQL table issuingrules?
Is there only one row?
What are the values?

For the records: Bug 18997 - Everything listed as "not renewable"
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18997

Hi,

What is the value of AllowRenewalIfOtherItemsAvailable?
And the result of SELECT * FROM issuingrules;

It might be this problem:

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16885

I solved it on my installation using this:

Have you tried importing a smaller batch? Do you have access to your
installation's error logs? Those might show a clue about what the
actual problem is.
