OK, thanks all for your help! I am sorry I don't know all the details and I am obviously not great with Koha.
Rebuild-zebra is supposed to run every 15 minutes for us, and sometimes it doesn't. I know, because then I am contacted by librarians who say they can't find books which they have just entered (or I check myself, I run a few mysql queries and check if I can find them on the website). So I know it's because the search indexes are not up to date. Then, I restart rebuild-zebra with the following: sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f library And then the problem is solved, but not forever. It stops again later, the same day or another day, sometimes one week later. If I had more time to work on Koha, I could check exactly how often it happens and things like that, but I don't have time. :( In << sudo tail /var/log/koha/ashs/zebra-error.log.1 >> is ashs the name of the library? On our server, the closest thing I could find is << sudo tail /var/log/koha/library/zebra-error.log >> and it doesn't give me any information. So, if I understand well "tail", it means that the file is empty. Same thing for zebra-output. When I look at the current processes (ps -aux), I can see that there is a zebrasrv process runing (it says << Mar26 2:02 zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -f /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf >>, March 26 being the day when we restarted the whole server). So all that probably means that there is no problem with Zebra, am I right? With the errors I have reported previously (DBIconnect...), what is it that can't connect to MySQL? that perl script you describe, Chris? I understand it's not Zebra itself, is it rebuild-zebra? Thanks a lot for all your explanations...
