[Koha-devel] 3.18 zebra

[Paul A]

Please bear with me -- I had no luck sorting out my search speed problem, 
so did a packet apt-get remove, install (not purge.) All went extremely 
well, OPAC reported "under maintenance", staff admin (logging in with 
install name) upgraded the 3.05 database (new as requested by 
/usr/share/koha/k318-db-request.txt), and both sites are delivering proper 
pages through Apache (prefork+itk.)

But I have a problem with Zebra. Does 'instancename-koha' really have to be 
a sudoer? If there's a possible quick fix I'll try it, if not I'll start over.

	k318-koha at hood:/usr/sbin$ koha-start-zebra k318
	Invalid option: --user (only works for root)
	/.../
	Starting Zebra server for k318
	Invalid option: --user (only works for root)
	/.../
	Something went wrong starting Zebra for k318.

k318-koha is a valid user (non sudoer) with pw generated by Koha. I can 
start Zebra as root, no problem, but then:

	k318-koha at hood:/usr/sbin$ koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f k318 [N.B. not 'sudo']
	k318-koha is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
	Something went wrong rebuilding biblio indexes for k318

and I have *not* tried reindexing as root -- ISTR dire warnings not to do 
so on this list :)

I've looked at Bug 13396 and koha-conf.xml complies.

I've tried sudo service koha-common restart
  	* Restarting Koha ILS koha-common
	/.../ Zebra already stopped for instance k318.
	SIP server for k318 not running.
  	* Error: Indexer not running for k318

zebra-error log reports:

but I'm not sure where '-zebra' gets concatenated to the user.

Many thanks -- Paul
