[Koha] Hello and question

Kate,


Welcome!

I assume you're running with Zebra as your indexer (most libraries do these
days), so it sounds to me like your rebuild_zebra.pl cron job is not set
up.  This is really easy to do if you have command-line access to your
server.

 -  SSH into the the server as the koha user
 -  type 'crontab -e'
 -  Add the line  '*/{MINUTES} * * * * {PATH}/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z',
with {MINUTES} replaced by the number of minutes to wait between running the
job (I like 2), and {PATH} being the Unix path to the rebuild_zebra.pl file
(which may already be declared as a variable in the crontab)
 -  Save and exit the editor to install the new job

An example is here:
http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=misc/cronjobs/crontab.example;h=bdb58f70a1f99a81a452342a97a7076910b8a08b;hb=3.0.x

If you don't have command-line access to your server, or you don't feel
comfortable doing this, I'm sure that LibLime/PTFS will take care of this
for you.  They would of course be the ones to help further if it turns out
I'm wrong about the root of your problem.

Hope this helps,
