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.

All,
We created a second instance of Koha using the instructions at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installing_Multiple_Instances_of_Koha
We dumped the data from our original instance and then reloaded it into the koha_test instance.  We have tried to reindex several time by using  rebuild_zebra.pl in koha_test
/var/log/koha_test/koha-zebradaemon-output.log and  koha-zebradaemon.err are both empty

The error in koha-opac-error_log is
HTML::Template::Pro:in TMPL_LOOP at pos 416:
 PARAM:LOOP:next_loop(0): callback returned null scope


I think it was our install that had a problem because in koha-error_log
I see for the date of the install:

Any insight/help would be appreciated.
