[Koha] [Koha-devel] Koha - problem with searches/zebra indexing in second instance

[Fridolyn SOMERS]

Hie,

There is one problem with multi instances that you maybe didn't notice :

The environment variables *KOHA_CONF* and *PERL5LIB* are the same for each
instance
(they are redefined in cronjobs and apache conf).
They are mandatory for lauching perl scripts manually.

I think that's why rebuild_zebra doesn't work, it uses the original
instance.

My solution is to use symbolic links to the currently used instance :
for example, I have 2 instance :
*/usr/share/kohaA/ and /etc/kohaA
/usr/share/kohaB/ and /etc/kohaB
*
Create symbolic links :
*ln -s /usr/share/kohaA /usr/share/koha_current
ln -s /etc/kohaA /etc/koha_current*

And (re)define env vars :
*PERL5LIB="/usr/share/koha_current/lib"
KOHA_CONF="/etc/koha_current"*

Now, when you whan to work manually on a instance, be sure that symbolic
links uses the correct instance.
(You may create a bash to manager that)

Regards,

PS : there might be a solution in creating a user per instance that has env
vars in his bashrc.
