If that's what you actually did, the name was wrong. Assuming you're
using 'kohadb' as your instance name (which is a tautological name for
it, but nevermind :) then the database name will be koha_kohadb.

On the other hand, you show successful looking upgrade details, so I
presume you edited the config to make it line up.

As an aside, the instructions you link on the pbworks site are probably
not the best approach. Deleting and recreating the database will
probably mess with permissions, making things weird. Also, the sensible
way is to have koha-create make you a database, and then just load your
data in there:

cat backup.sql | sudo koha-mysql instancename

is all you need to do.

Two things to start with:

* Make sure zebra is running: sudo service koha-common restart
* Make sure you've reindexed everything: sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v
