Thanks for the suggestion Bob. That was not it though. I checked and had no Zombies loose in the server. I did another search on the issue and found this thread. https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2014-November/041323.html Checking my permissions in each directory listed no obvious problems. Group and Owner was glenora-koha. At the end of the thread I saw a suggestion to recreate the koho directories with this command. sudo koha-create-dirs mylibrary (replaced with my instance name) I did this and then tried sudo koha-start-zebra mylibrary This did the trick and all started working again. Looking back, the directory permissions were all rwx,r--,r-- on my dirctories. After running the create dirs command, they changed to rwx,r-x,r-x I have no idea why they had changed to read instead of read and execute, but that seems to have done the job. Hopefully this may help others who encounter this issue. Now I can get back to cataloguing. Once I think I have a handle on koha for my personal library, I am planning to create an instance for our little towns RSL Sub-branch as we have a small lending library for the members and are currently recording loans in an exercise book in the hall. At least the permissions don't change on the book. Cheers, Phil On 04/08/16 08:40, Bob Birchall wrote:

If this is the problem, you could add yourself to the cc list for that bug.

Hi All,
I set up Koha with an instance called glenora on Lubuntu 14.04 a few days ago and it has been working fine with the 5 records I created to test with up until today.
Today I added another 30 or so books using the z39.50 search and now when I search the catalogue from the OPAC or INTRANET page it I does find any records.
I tried rebuilding the zebra index without success. It seems that zebra is not running as I cannot see it with a ps -ef | grep zebrasvr command.
When I try koha-restart-zebra glenora
I get this back.
Invalid --pidfiles argument: '/var/run/koha/glenora/' (Directory does not exist)
I do not under stand this problem as I never had a /var/run/koha directory and everything has been working until today.
The only other thing I did around the time that it stopped was install webmin on the server so I could configure samba.
Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it? Everything else on Koha is working ok. I can search patrons and check books in and out. Just can't do catalogue searches.
Regards, Phil
