We are all very new to Koha and Zebra. With Zebra search turned off I can do a keyword search only. With Zebra turned on, I can’t search. I am beginning to suspect that the zebra.cfg file is either missing or in the wrong location on the Ubuntu 7.10 installation.

 

When I try to start the zebrasrv I get two responses:

 

$ sudo zebrasrv start

17:39:34-13/01 [server] Adding dynamic listener on start id=0

17:39:34-13/01 [fatal] Failed to listen on start

 

The zebra-biblios.cfg and zebra-authorities.cfg files seem to exist in /etc/koha/zebradb.

 

However, I do see a zebrasrv process running when I look at my running processes via Webmin.

We got two servers running with Koha 3.0 now. The backend works nicely. Our database admin likes the design and setup and she has been importing MARC records.

 

The only issue we have now is that we can’t do a search from the OPAC. The screens display okay, but a search by title or author of materials we have imported are not showing up in search results.

Hi John,

 

just my 2 cents

 

it seems like you probably have imported your marc records ok into koha  

but your zebra isnt setup, running, or indexed correctly

 

ive had a similar issue too

 

you can verify that you have koha records like this, in your DB

mysql> select * from biblio;

or

http://mykoha/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl?biblionumber=1

 

if you a result there,  you have records (or, at least 1 :) 

 

=======================================

check that your 'Nozeb' syspref is set to '0'

 

next, rebuild your zebra indexes again (cant hurt :), something like this....

 

$export KOHA_CONF="/home/mtj/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml"

$ koha/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b 

 

which will take a few minutes. fmmv

 

make sure your zebrasrv process is running, and now try a OPAC search

 

that could take care of your issue.

 

Cheers, Mason
