Re: [Koha] Install for Dummies

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:36:03 -0800

Having experienced a few glitches ourselves, here are some extracts from our "cheat sheet" (nelson is the name of our Debian/Ubuntu server with Koha 3.6.1 installed and happily working): 

*** do mysql dump FIRST ***
*** do not go near link_bibs_to_authorities.pl ***

paul@nelson:/$ cd /usr/share/koha

Now su to the proper user:

paul@nelson:/usr/share/koha$ su koha

Now for the authorities (note include envars on command line)
koha@nelson:/usr/share/koha$ KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -r -v 

Lastly, biblios (note -x without which the rebuild fails)
koha@nelson:/usr/share/koha$ KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v -x

Hi Bruce,
The correct paths for your installation would have been given in the notes produced at the end of running Makefile.PL (not sure where this would show up if you used the deb packages). These paths will *have* to be correct in order for Koha related cli scripts to run properly. Perhaps someone more familiar with the deb packages could help if that is, indeed, what you used. 

If the paths you selected are correct, then I'm out of ideas for the moment.

Kind Regards,
Chris

Have a read at these FAQ's:
<http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/searching/>http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/searching/ Pay careful attention to the solution for question #4. It appears you've not exported the proper env vars. 


It sounds like you're recommending:

1. Check that you are exporting the two environmental variables
necessary to run Koha scripts from the command line. These are (modify
to fit paths on your system):
PERL5LIB=/path/to/koha
KOHA_CONF=/path/to/koha-conf.xml


Which sounds not unreasonable. I set:

KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml

Which seems reasonable. I then set:

PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib
I chose this because the failure message for <http://rebuild_zebra.pl>rebuild_zebra.pl claims it can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC, which includes /etc/perl, and where that file can be found.
It would appear that these choices were incorrect, or that I've made some other important error, as these two changes make no change in the failure message when I run <http://rebuild_zebra.pl>rebuild_zebra.pl. 

I *did* warn y'all I was a newbie....

               Don't hesitate to come back and ask for more info if

           This page seems to suggest:
           zebraidx -x /.../zebra-biblios.cfg drop biblios zebraidx -c
      /.../zebra-biblios.cfg commit <http://rebuild_zebra.pl>rebuild_zebra.pl 
           <http://rebuild_zebra.pl> -b -r -v

           All three commands fail with a variety of messages, but all
           include
           "file not found".
           I'm thinking that there is an important configuration or
           initialization that hasn't been completed?
