https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20745 Bug ID: 20745 Summary: indexing/searching not active at end of installation Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 17.11 Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P5 - low Component: Installation and upgrade (web-based installer) Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: giuseppe.ciaccio@unige.it QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com After installing Koha on Debian (instructions at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian) with marc21 and english language, and completing the installation wizard, you are finally redirected to admin login and then you can perform your first Koha admin operation. Suppose you insert a biblio record with related item -- a typical first step for the beginner. At this point the item is indeed there (e.g. it appears in inventory) but is not searchable: the search page for common users always returns "not found". And then you cry :) But if, at this point, you open a shell on the server and issue the commands sudo service koha-common stop sudo service koha-common start then everything starts working correctly, and the inserted item appears in the search results. Subsequently entered records are immediately searchable as well. It looks like the install wizard omits a final step consisting of activating the indexing service, or something like that. Or, otherwise, the install instructions are omitting the above commands for restarting service before first operation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
