[Koha] Fwd: Unable to reindex after massive upgrade

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi Mary

 From my experience wrong permissions will often lead to an unindexed 
catalog.

Given your instance is "xxx", the automatically created Koha user is 
named "xxx-koha" and the group is "xxx-koha" all the file in directory 
"/var/lib/koha/xxx" and its subdirectories have to belong to this user 
"xxx-koha".

If this was not the case then change it and reindex.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael
