This appears to do *something*. It runs a number of lines of code, ending with "CLEANING".

OK - [assuming no warning messages] zebra appears to have completed the indexing ...

Still no books revealed in the OPAC.

In your staff interface (koha-admin), if you put the single letter "a" (no quotes) in the "Search catalogue" box, what do you get?

"No results found"

Please ensure that in Home> Administration> System Preferences> Searching>
that the "Nozebra" preference is set to _Use_ the Zebra search engine.

Check. At least I got that part right!

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

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 rebuild_zebra.pl <http://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 rebuild_zebra.pl <http://rebuild_zebra.pl>.

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